A. Theoretical Introduction
Philosophy of the Classroom
An educator or teacher is a profession that should not be taken lightly. Teaching is vital
However, it is also filled with excitement, joy, and love. Every day is a new day in the classroom,
and it takes compassion, organization, discipline, and hard work to maintain a successful one.
There are no two teachers that are alike. Each teacher brings their own unique way of teaching
that is displayed and executed in the classroom. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe and
meaningful learning environment that invite students to a positive and loving classroom.
I want to create a classroom where my students can walk into where they feel safe and
have respect for one another. Student will practice the golden rule of loving one another by
showing their respect. Not only would they respect their fellow classmates, but also everyone
that steps foot into the classroom. It is a place where everyone is treated like family and no one
will feel left out. Also, a safe haven to share thoughts and feelings with one another (Bucher and
Manning, 2010). It important that students are physically, emotionally, and socially safe in class
or else their defense mechanism will rise and learning will decrease tremendously.
I would not want a barrier that will cause any of my students to shut down all together. It
is key for students, parents, and school staff to share a harmonious relationship to be of service to
on another in the school community. Having a student shut down or give up is never something I
would like to witness in my lifetime, especially when it could be avoided. I will keep myself
readily available to provide the necessary resources for my students and be the light for them.
meaningful classroom where students are able to make good progress and achieve their full
potential. I strongly believe that all children are capable of learning. As a teacher I must keep in
mind that all students learn in different levels and become aware of all the learning styles of my
students. Differentiated instruction and accommodations must be taken into consideration when
All students come from different family backgrounds. Some may have both parents
present, while others either only has one parent, grandparents, or guardian who care for them. No
matter what background they may be, each student is capable to learn. They are entitled to be
served and taught in a matter that could meet their academic needs. It is my job as a teacher to
reach out to all of my students and ensure I meet all of their needs.
A. Expectations/Policies/Rules/Boundaries
Classroom expectations are key to a successful class. Right from the first day of school,
rules and expectations will be discussed and practiced. These expectations are easily seen by
students and consequences are put into place. If ever there is a need to remind or correct a
students behavior, I plan to provide students the opportunity to have a fresh start just like
everyone else. I understand that everyone can have a bad day due to uncontrollable situations
Students are taught with structure and direct instruction. Through this practice, they will
understand that I am the leader and adult in the classroom that will guide them to success.
Students will be given the chance to learn how to facilitate their own learning while being able to
express themselves and use their creativity. There will be plenty of activities and projects to
make their own choices that will fit their personalities and learning styles. Once they have
learned the process and routine, they will be able to facilitate on their own and have the chance
to work cooperatively. Learning together promotes positive and healthy relationships among
Vision
All students from all sorts of backgrounds are entitled to be given the opportunity to learn
and teachers are the source of their academic success. Effective teachers are the ticket into their
future. With a harmonious, supportive, and safe classroom, each student can perform to their full
potential. Then all of the strategies and practices will follow as a tool to help teachers provide an
engaging and motivating classroom that keeps students wanting to learn even more.
