I don’t really think my philosophy of education changed too much from my practicum experience. In fact, I think my practicum experience solidified my teaching philosophy!

I reread the teaching philosophy I wrote at the beginning of the year. I still agree with a lot of the things I wrote. I want to be a teacher who teaches out of love. And I do think I am a teacher who teaches out of love! Out of the love towards my students and towards being in a role that helps provide students with the necessary tools to reach their fullest potential. I also touched on how I want to create that safe space where students are free to express themselves.

Basically, my teaching philosophy revolves around social and emotional learning and building that positive classroom climate for all my students.

It relates well to my inquiry topic on creating a positive classroom climate or building classroom community in a split class! 🙂
