It is important to give every child and young people to have equal access to an education. No matter what barriers a child may have it is important to give them the chance to choose just like anyone else. This falls in conjunction with the codes of practice above and allows every child/young person to matter.…

Education is essential to the progress of society. Every student should be given equal opportunities to learn. To do this a school must have an environment that will accommodate the needs of a diverse student body. Students should be active participants in their education.…
I believe the purpose of education is to teach my students and ready them for the future and whatever comes with it. I want to start my students off with an education that they can build on for the rest of their lives. I believe my main role is to socialize the children and slowly acclimate them to the school environment, while teaching them through their five senses. School readiness and a love of learning plays a huge part in helping ensure future success. I aim to make the children feel equally important as the other by having them cooperate and work as one big team. I will provide an environment for the children to feel welcomed and comfortable like it is their second home, so they don’t feel shy and unwilling to partake in the various activities in class. I will also introduce the students to our daily routines so they can be more comfortable, because if they have a set schedule everyday the transition between activities is smooth. Parents will have full access to join us with the fun and educational things we do in class and to help at anytime with art projects, nature walks, and many more enriching activities.…
“All learners are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. Everyone is an individual, with different experiences, abilities and needs. As a teacher, you need to take this into account when teaching and ensure you give equal support to all your learners without favouritism.”…
I always attempt my best to maintain an environment where all learners are engaged in the process of learning. As a precaution, I always obtain details of the learners as much as possible before I start to teach them. This helps to obtain a very good idea about the nature of learners and their needs. Key elements of inclusive learning are identified as “including all learners in learning together, multi-level, authentic instruction for learners of diverse abilities, building community and meet the needs of children with behavioural challenges, providing support for teachers, maintaining a good relationship with parents/carers and be careful and thoughtful in decision-making and leadership and empowerment” (http://www.wholeschooling.net/ ,2014). As a teacher I always try to provide a maximum opportunity for all my learners by considering their individual needs. For example, visually impaired students get a seat closer to the whiteboard and I am willing to wear an electronic device to help students who have any impairment in hearing. Direct and indirect discrimination are always challenged immediately and learners of all levels of abilities and all ethnic backgrounds are treated equally according to the best of my ability. Some learners might need extra support in assessment processes and it should be provided. For example some learners are eligible to use a reader or a scribe in examinations. These needs must be addressed as a teacher as learners may not always demand for these rights.…
Within ones early stages of life, our parents along with many other authority figures have instilled in us that education is the key to all success. One is taught to work hard in school, to study, and ultimately to get good grades in our early years of schooling to prepare us for what many see as the last step in our education, college. Education has made made freely available to our children at an equal opportunity and again has been instilled that it is the key to all success in life. Tom Luck the author of the poem “You Go to School to Learn,” bluntly states the harsh reality that one's education is provided to the extant of whatever skills that can be gained, to ensure them money. Tom Luck argues, “you’re taught away from poetry or, say, dancing (“That's nice, dear, but there's no dough in it”). So what are we teaching our children? What is the purpose of education? Several views are strongly debated. Many believe that the purpose of education in the dominant big-business view in which education means enabling one to be trained to work in a skillful workplace, at low wages, and then there is the view that education is more than learning a skill for a specific job, it is about teaching our children lifelong values, discipline, and the ability to explore new ideas and think independently. Those with the view that education is more, argue that education is key for building the critical abilities that are entailed for complicated human beings.…
Students will have the freedom to express their opinions, concerns, questions, comments, likes, dislikes and so much more. They will have the freedom to use their imagination and be creative. Students will know that my classroom is a safe place to express themselves and to let out their inner creativity. Students will also be able to realize their likes and dislikes as they progress as well as begin to learn their own strengths and weaknesses, Once all this has begun to take place and myself as the teacher is able to learn more about who the children are as students rather than just individuals, lessons can be created with each students best interest in…
The strength of these approaches is that it urges educators to recognise that’s there is a great diversity among all students and more importantly, that the majority of students are marginalized and harm by the various forms of oppressions in schools. Educators have a responsibility to make schools a place that are for all students, no matter their race, culture or sexuality. Educators should also not ignore the students that are different, and they should also not assume that their students are “normal”.…
A teacher's personal philosophy of education is an essential part of his/her approach to guiding students in their educational experience. There are several distinctive philosophies in the field of education, the most influential being essentialism, perennialism, progressivism, existentialism and behaviorism. Each belief system offers valuable insights for anyone in the field of education and my educational philosophy is a mixture of various aspects of each philosophy. In my opinion, creativity, knowledge of the subject matter, and classroom management skills are required of an effective teacher.…
The following is the statement of my teaching philosophy that helped me acquire my position as an Assistant Professor. Use it as a guide to start thinking about your teaching philosophy. We will revisit this topic again, so start thinking now!…
The role of schools is to provide education to students. Educate means to not just provide skill; it is also a place to establish mentally, or morally. Without helping students understand moral and social issues the schools are not even meeting its basic requirements. Schools are intended to make students better people in the world but if they aren’t helping students how to deal with real world situations then they aren’t making a difference. Schools are responsible to make the world a better place by educating students but they aren’t doing a good job at that.…
