Goals and PhilosophyA person's philosophy regarding education covers many different aspects. The elements that a personal philosophy may contain are the purpose of education, the methods that one can use in education and even the curriculum that can be taught. I think these three things are most important to my personal philosophy and educational goals. The overall goal of education is not only to teach students the established curriculum, but also to teach them to be creative individuals and thinkers. As a teacher, you have to go further than just teaching, you are a role model, a doctor and above all, while maintaining control, you are a friend. I think education is important because as a society we need to learn and grow from what we know. In today's society, an uneducated person cannot make a name for himself and cannot progress in the world. Education is there to teach us about the past and prepare us for the future. Education occupies an important place in our lives and must continue to be so. As a kindergarten teacher, I intend to become an inspiration to every child who attends my classroom. I hope to touch the lives of the children I meet, as well as accomplish many other things. My first goal will be to not only teach the curriculum to my students, but also to teach my students to think outside of the established curriculum. I intend to show students that there is more to what they are learning. I want to not only be a good teacher, but also be a great teacher. Students not only need someone to teach them, they also need someone to guide them, and as a teacher, I hope to achieve that. The children recognize that education will be a large part of...... middle of paper ...... students will come together and work in groups. My professional plans for the future are to immediately begin teaching once I graduate. college. However, in my free time, I plan to expand my studies as much as possible in order to continue learning with my students. Education relies on the strength of one person, a teacher. The teacher who finds the strength to get up every morning and face a new day. A teacher must hold his head high when he enters a classroom, lest the slightest display of weakness destroy him. Achieving this goal is the most important goal in a teacher's life. A teacher is someone who is willing to teach students even when they want to do something else with their time. Success in education lies solely in the goal of becoming greater, which I intend to strive to achieve..
