My educational philosophy that I find most suitable in defining me as an educator is progressivism. The educational goals that I have personally set out are having a good classroom management plan and to develop problem-solving skills in the classroom. I believe this is an essential goal to have in the classroom to ensure the skills and readiness for the real world. The teaching methods that I want to incorporate are problem-based learning, cooperative learning, and guided discovery in assessing my students learning. The learning environment is collaborative and is a key component in the learning process to help my students learn. Another educational philosophy that suits me as an educator would be essentialism. As an essentialist, the role of the teacher is to deliver clear lectures, and increase student understanding with critical questions. I would like to establish this role in my classroom to further enhance my students learning on a higher thinking level in the curriculum. The environment is highly structured with high levels of time on task. The approach I take towards students in general would be a caring, understanding, cooperative, and firm approach. I have high expectations as a future educator for myself and my students' learning process. My feelings towards the profession of teaching are great feeling of excitement, readiness, encouragement, and satisfaction with the idea of teaching children.
