Philosophy of Education My philosophy of education is based on the ideas that I have about education that are framing my critical goals as an educator at this moment.

At the same time‚ I will use this information to help build the self-esteem of

Philosophy of Education I believe that as a teacher I must first believe in my students. When I enter the classroom‚ I will look into the faces of each of my students and see them reach their greatest potential while in my care.

Philosophy of Education Education plays a big role in the world today‚ which is why I believe it is so important. Throughout my time in my education classes at HSU I have heard many different reasons why people want to become a teacher.

Philosophy of Education Thomas Jefferson once said “genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.” I believe it is this 1% inspiration that we must find‚ as teachers‚ in the youth of today. That way‚ we can give them the motivation to unlock the 99% perspiration inside themselves. After all‚ without that 1% inspiration‚ you have no reason to perspire. Teaching requires a certain kind of patience‚ understanding‚ and willingness to perspire on its’ own. It is not an easy task to uncover that
