Teaching Philosophy

At its most basic level, though, the role of a teacher is to teach, and this involves the facilitation of learning and learning skills. This means an important part of the teacher’s work is to nurture students and to manage information in such a way that each student achieves maximum intellectual, social, physical, emotional and spiritual growth. (Barry & King, 1993)

I understand that the education system has and is continuing to change with society and I believe that the role of a teacher is becoming increasingly important. Teacher’s not only need to educate student’s in terms of knowledge of subjects, but also the knowledge of the way to behave in society, societies morals and norms. They need to be taught this in order to become fully functional members of society.
My goals as a student teacher and, eventual, school counsellor are to find the best ways possible of teaching the students so that they may emerge to actively and effectively participate in the adult world.
