With My Students for a Day (demo in one of our subjects in ECP)

My Educational Philosophy

My Educational Philosophy

I believe that every pupil should be respected and talked like adults but cared like flower vase. They should be given equal opportunities to learn, and develop their skills and talents. I believe that pupil’s suggestions must be listened and heard to have an open and equal learning environment. Pupils must not be forced nor threatened for learning because they have different pace of acquiring knowledge; the interests of the pupil must be the centered for learning.

Pupil’s outputs should be checked well through setting criteria and for giving well assessed questionnaires and exams to give justice on their efforts in listening and studying the lessons. Having appropriate strategies in discussion is also important so that the pupils will have a better understanding about the topic. A teacher must be a good role model of positivism  good morals and has the unbeatable energy when discussing her lessons. I believe that a teacher must always be a teacher whether inside or outside of the school; she keeps on teaching, inspiring and guiding one’s life to brighter side of living and a teacher that does not fail every days of her pupil.
