the future. With education in our hands, we are able to be engaged in prominent
institutions compared to those who haven’t. It also paves way to a lot of
opportunities that could bring us to our desired goals and could enhance our

styles.
Philosophy of teaching is a philosophical approach to teaching and
learning process and teaching style refers to the teaching strategies and
methods employed, thus, these two comes together. Philosophy of teaching will
serve as your blueprint on what teaching style you will be having inside your
classroom for the teaching-learning process possible and effective. Teaching
style gives life to the philosophy of teaching. Having your philosophy as your
foundation, employing your teaching style will never be tough. Consider potential
ways on how to achieve your philosophy through your teaching styles and let it
be your ground to see if your styles are working and see if your goal was met. A
positive learning environment happens when a teacher understands her students
and is ready for the forthcoming challenges.
