Philosophy of Education :: Philosophy of Teaching Statement

Philosophy of Education I throw off thought some(prenominal) times over what my philosophy towards direction is, or quite frankly, pass on be as I learn more about the teaching profession and eventually begin teaching on my own. While I have already been teaching swim lessons for the past five years and presently hold the position of assistant football coach at Bluefield Middle School, I can say that my hat goes off to anyone possessing the application and expertise to stand before a classroom or lycee of students and have the confidence to pass their knowledge on to that group of students. On the other hand, I have an equal level of disgust for those atomic number 8 thieves that merely roll out a basketball and read the piece while the whole time claim to be teaching. These teachers, a enclosure I use loosely, have taught nothing. They have at no signalise attempted to communicate with their students the brilliance of taking care of their bodies and lear ning the natural movements that will provide them the opportunity to be active for a lifetime. With that in mind, it our responsibility as Health and Physical Educators to provide that knowledge, instill that importance and to never allow a child to fall through the cracks, exclusively rather to make a lasting impression on the lives we teach. It is my stanch belief that our duties begin in the way we present ourselves. I opinion back at my experiences growing up and compare them to what I have learned. It amazes me that someone on the opposite end of healthy can estimate to teach others how to be healthy. The solution lies with credibility. We must evoke fitness and abet that concept in our own lives before we should ever think to specify the life and well-being of children who see teachers as role models. How can we require our students to accomplish something that we are not willing to pursue? We must take exception our students everyday by setting hig h, but true to life(predicate) goals for those under our instruction. Why would you give a student a head start line without defining a place to finish and leave them with a sense of accomplishment?
