Philosophy of Teaching

The key to my philosophy rests on the idea that I must set high standards for students and for myself. I must lead by example for my students as my teachers did for me. I believe teachers have a duty to their profession, to their students, and to themselves. Fulfilling this duty requires that a teacher never stops learning, continues to evaluate his or her performance among colleagues and students. The teaching experiences I have gained contributed to my pedagogical stance and goals. In sum, my philosophy is one which strives to give all students an equal opportunity to learn by promoting intellectual diversity in the various ways . It is through my respect for intellectual diversity that I conduct myself in a professional manner to create a positive learning environment where students can develop their critical thinking skills.
