“Every Teacher must have his/her own Personal Philosophy of Education”

In this passage, I strongly believed that a teacher must have his/her own personal philosophy so that he/she will have a guide on how he/she will teach the learners. Having a philosophy will set as a guideline or a goal for a teacher. Through setting a philosophy a teacher will be guided on how and what approach he/she will instill on his/her learners therefore the philosophy of a teacher must bring goodness to her learners; a philosophy that will impact her learners in a positive way to become a good and productive citizen in our country.

A teacher is seen by his/her learners as their model and bring influence on their being therefore he/she must show what a firm person takes to be. One of it is that she must show that she is an organized person; a person with goal/s and that is, for teachers, through having his/her educational philosophy and free from any form of biases so that she will be guided all throughout her teachings because her philosophy will serve as her grounds when the time of confusion comes and she will be helped on what decision/s to make. When students see their teacher is firm when it comes in decision making they tend to do their best in coming up a good quality works and output.

In the other hand, some teachers do not have their own philosophy and some are having two or more philosophy that they apply to their teachings so that their learner take some wisdom of life while they are still learning but then teachers too have life and so they also learn from their students and education/learning is constantly evolving therefore teacher must re-invent their philosophy when it is needed to fit their learners. Though teachers have the superior authority in the classroom they should still give chance or freedom to their learners to think, make and share their ideas. Teachers must not over rule their students when it comes to decision making instead she must help them to be a rational thinking person so that someday the learner can create her own philosophy that bring justice and goodness to others also; a philosophy that does not violates any law in this world.

Teachers are guide of the students in their development, they spend most of their time in school and so teachers do greatly impact and influence the learner’s life. Teachers must give importance on each of their students because they come to school because they want to be educate and learn new things from people they call teachers. Therefore teachers must do their best in teaching for that is the student’s purpose why they are in school. Giving various activities and opportunities for them to acquire and develop their skills and mental, physical and emotional abilities that will form them holistically as human beings, with such capabilities these will help them someday to be successful and living their life as individual with principles.

To sum it up, a teacher must be well directed on his/her teaching no matter what problem strikes him, he/she must still stand firm and be professional on it and that is with the help of having a philosophy in life or in teaching because if we have it we have a clear and strong path that is constructed and cemented on us.
