Philosophy of TeachingTeachers are the sculptors of every child's future. No other job gives the satisfaction of knowing you have made even the slightest difference in a child's life. The little things you say and do will always be remembered. Not only will you be a teacher, but you will also play the role of a friend, mentor, hero and many more. As a teacher I intend to manage my classroom with rules and consequences, but my students will realize that they are being treated fairly. They will have a say and say about what happens in class. The seating arrangement will depend on the teaching activities in the classroom. There will be a lot of group activities, as most kindergarten children are not used to being with children their own age. The room will be bright and very colorful to keep their senses alert. My boards will show the calendar, colors, numbers and alphabet. They will include people from all cultures. I will have learning centers around the classroom that students can go to on their own time. These centers will teach students how to tie shoes, button clothes, cut out shapes, color lines and other additional skills. My classroom will be run democratically, which is pragmatism. Students will have a lot of say in the rules and how the class is run. It will be child centered as students will be the most important part of the class. They will have a say and say about what happens in class. These are examples of how I will use the philosophy of existentialism. I will be a guide in my students' learning process. I would establish a non-authoritarian class. I want my students to see me as their instructor, not as their boss or an authority figure. I will run a facilitation classroom with circle seating, student-centered activities, problem solving, and reciprocal teaching. I feel like I'm a pragmatist and will use theory or progressivism to run my classroom.
