I do strongly believe in self-improvement through lifelong learning. In other words, I am not considering myself only teacher, but at the same time, I have to be good learner to make continues improvement in the way that I am teaching and transferring information and knowledge to students. In this way, I can adapt the courses which I am teaching according to the students’ needs and interest taking into consideration the diversity.
Because students bring a diverse set of worldviews to the classroom, I do deeply consider positive relationships and positive learning environment in which trust, respect, care are fundamental. These will develop higher self-esteem and motivate students to meet even high academic expectations that I have for them. For example, one of the first grade students this year (2019) came to me and he had few questions. Even, I am not teaching him, but I interact, in generally, with the first grade students due to my administrative works and duties at the department. I remember his last sentence before leaving “he said, I can only trust you, teacher”. So, creating such environment is very important and have valuable influences on students’ academic and social outcomes.
I also believe that teachers should set specific and clear expectations, standards and goals from the very first day of the class. Once they are set, they should be adhered to throughout the whole academic year or semester.
Teachers should make an extra effort to present class materials in a variety of formats to aid in differentiated. Students learn at different levels and times so I constantly modify instruction to meet individual needs. I have used hands on activities, lectures, visual learning aids, short videos, projects, assignments, etc to present the information being learned.
In conclusion, I would like to restate again that one of my most important area of my teaching philosophy is my view towards self-improvement. I firmly believe that any good teacher remains a good student throughout life.
