    Educational Belief Statements

    1. I believe that students learn best when they are able to use all of their senses in their
    learning.
    I believe there is no one ‘right’ way to teach, since every student is so drastically different.
    However, these differences should be appreciated and acknowledged when crafting the best
    way for a student to learn. With this, I believe that there are, and should be, multiple ways
    to teach content in a classroom with drastically different children. For example, some
    students may be primarily kinesthetic learners, while others may be primarily visual
    learners, or even a mix of multiple intelligences. With this, I would plan on implementing
    multiple of these skills and intelligences in a lesson by providing some visual aids for visual
    learners, hands-on activities for primarily kinesthetic learners, and other aspects of any
    other primary intelligence I see my students having. For example, I plan on providing models
    of my own work for students to view, conduct small groups for individualized attention, and any
    possible stations where students can guide their own learning using hands-on activities. I believe
    that these differences should be seen as valuable from the child and kept in mind when teaching
    in the most appropriate way.

    2. I believe that one of a teachers' main goals should be to create a safe, comfortable,
    and collaborative learning space for all students so they can learn at the best of their
    abilities.
    I believe a student cannot fully learn successfully if they do not feel comfortable in the
    classroom. I believe that one of the best ways to reach this goal is to prioritize gaining a
    trusting relationship with each student and their families. I would implement this by
    engaging in conversations, and possibly surveys, to my students and families to gain an idea
    about their personalities, learning styles, and any other important information I should be aware
    of. I would also send home family letters each week about the class and what we are learning to
    keep a continuous contact with each family. I believe with this knowledge from the students and
    families, students would feel comfortable enough to reach out to me or other trusted adults in the
    school with any concerns they have in or out of the classroom. I believe that if students do not
    feel comfortable in the classroom, they are not able to learn at the best of their abilities. Another
    way to provide comfort in my role as an educator would be to show the students the resources
    available at the school and encourage them to reach out to me and/or the guidance counselor.
    With this, I would like to have slips of paper where students may take one and request a meeting
    with me or the guidance counselor for whatever reason, so they do not have to confront me with
    that potentially nerve wracking request. One of my main goals as an educator is to not only
    guide students’ learning of content, but to provide that comfortable and collaborative space
    where they feel safe to learn.
    3. I believe that a teacher should encourage self-discovery through learning, guiding a
    student-oriented classroom in as many ways possible.
    One of my goals as an educator is to be a guide to students as I teach independence,
    individuality, and self exploration through teaching. I believe it is important to also show this
    to the children, that not only are they learning, but as teachers, we are also learning everyday.
    With this, I believe that students will excel in their own ways by having opportunities to guide
    their own learning, rather than having direct instruction from the teacher 100% of the time.
    With this belief, I plan on implementing this ideology by providing choices and selections in my
    classroom. This can be done with content such as choosing a subject they feel most comfortable
    writing about for an ELA assignment. For this type of choice, it would allow students to not only
    express their individuality and personality through their work, but they are also more personally
    connected to their learning. Students may choose what academic activity they would like to do in
    any free time, etc. These could include any unfinished work that has not been finished during the
    week. This would ideally allow students to work on something they are most passionate about
    and also allows for independent choices and a sense of responsibility. I believe that by allowing
    students to implement choices in their learning, such as their interests, they will not only be
    more engaged in their learning, but more successful in their content and independent learning.
