Middle School Philosophies
As the principal of James S. Russell Middle School, my philosophy is simple. I believe that if we invest in our students and expand upon their previous knowledge, we can explore uncharted territory. By “thinking outside of the box" and striving to teach the whole child, we are destined to intersect with success. My belief is that if I continue to successfully motivate the RMS student, faculty, and staff to do their very best and extend their personal limits, the success for our division will be exhibited

    10 Things Middle Schoolers Should Know

    I read the article “10 Things Middle Schoolers Think you Should Know” by Rachel Vail. There are a few connections that I made.One connection that I made was when she wrote,”I like it when you make use get up and move, it makes it fun and easy to remember”. I relate to that because I most enjoy class activities.Also, it helps me remember the assignment. When we do school activities it helps me understand and not be confused when the test comes. For example, In my teacher’s class when made posters to help us remember the math formula, I extremely agree with her on this statement…

However, an area that Ms. Wright feels her principal does not fully understand is the at risk student and the differences or challenges that teachers need to make to get the students to let their guard down, so teachers can properly serve them. Ms. Wright points out that her principal is an experienced principal, but this is his first year leading an alternative campus. The principal shows love and concern for the students but does not understand the different challenges that at risk student face on a daily basis. When you work on an alternative campus, Ms. Wright understands that not everything is as simple as black and white.

    I will display this mission statement on my locker door, next to my desk so I will have an easy access to it, especially during times when I may become frustrated and feel like giving up on a student who may be failing my class and do not seem to care. It will remind me that my purpose is to serve and motivate others to reach their full potential. As Lee Canter explained in the video ‘ The Power of belief ‘, a high performing teacher never gives up because “they believe that all children can succeed”(Laureate Education, 2010). It is this kind of teacher who can make a difference in the lives of the…

    The Impact of NCLB

    Great principals also play a part in helping teachers become successful as part of a strong, well-supported instructional team. Mulford (2003) suggested that top-performing teachers can make a remarkable difference in the achievement of students. Students who are assigned to top-performing teachers every year experience a higher rate of achievement than those that do not. In the last ten years the federal government has developed ways to make sure that there are effective teacher in every classroom, and an efficient school leader on each campus. Each instructor and administrator will have access to on-going training support that they may need to be successful (Mulford, 2003).…

    Standards for School District Leadership

    As stated in the Standards for Advanced Programs in Educational Leadership by The National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA), the first standard builds on the need to prepare educational leaders who value and are committed to educating all students to become successful adults. Every educational leader is responsible for creating and articulating a vision for high standards for learning. Furthermore, the motivation and participation of all stakeholders in a school community in the process to develop, articulate, implement, and support a Vision for Learning is the key factor for the leader practice. This process requires from the leader reflective skills, data-based decision making, delegating and empowering skills that allows for professional growth of the educational staff and the commitment of the community stakeholders to support and sustain the vision of learning.3…

    A Philosophy of Education: In Experience there is Direction

    I believe that greatness is within all of us; we just need a little help finding it sometimes. I have come to understand that one caring person can make all the difference in someone else’s life. As I venture further into my teaching career, I hope to help my students to Education is a journey of seeking answers and experiencing. Every human being has the ability to learn and apply meaning to education. Learners should not be encouraged to surrender to the ideals and beliefs of a set curriculum. Rather than settling for the minimum learning requirements written out based on the expectations of the state, students should encounter knowledge, build a solid structured foundation, and then branch out to master the skills and ideas that they wish to develop and pursue. Learning then becomes a map of the sea. Students may be influenced by the way the wind blows and the tossing of the waves, but they have the knowledge and ability to adjust their sails to follow the path of the desired horizon. As educators we should not be neutral in our teaching, but radical and dynamic so that our students can learn beyond what is normal, static, and unchanging. I believe that the historical foundations of knowledge and the truths revealed by the past are vital to the knowledge of the future, but I also believe that we are agents of change and that we should teach our students to not only build upon and consecrate the truths of our past, but to challenge them and use them to think critically and make new history.…

    Middle School Curriculum

    In order to be an effective middle school educator, it is imperative to understand the developmental complexity of young adolescents. Students aged ten to fifteen experience irregular personal changes that call for certain needs. Not only are students at this age diverse in their backgrounds, but also they are also diverse in their development. During the middle school years, young adolescents experience a number of intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and moral changes. Middle schools need to be developmentally responsive meaning that they need to consider the particular nature of students in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade while making school decisions. As a middle level professional, it is my responsibility to accommodate…

Dr. Ziebarth-Bovill has taught me many ways to show my students the nurturing love of a good educator. I cannot wait to take more teaching classes to show my middle school students they have a caring adult who is passionate about their success. I have already experienced this feeling of pride in others’ success working with group of middle school girls who I watched them grow into beautiful freshmen…

    As I consider the road that is ahead of me, I am thrilled with excitement and eager to explore the many opportunities that lay ahead of me. Most of all, I am passionate about the structure of my future classroom and objectives I plan to tackle in my future career. I feel I owe my students the best possible upbringing and education. They deserve a stimulating and supportive environment that brings out the best in them. I want to encourage my students to broaden their imaginations and reach for goals they considered unattainable.
