== =PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION=

an inherent desire to educate others. Learning is a collaboration of one’s personal experiences.
==I believe that teaching is an inherent desire to educate others, because a person needs to have certain qualities to become a teacher. For instance, teachers need to be patient and kind. Also, teachers need to be flexible and understanding. Most of the time these qualities are difficult to develop, if a person does not already have these qualities. I have been involved in educating students through public school districts, day cares, churches, etc. Through these experiences, I have enhanced my abilities to be patient, kind, flexible, and understanding. I have been immersed in various education programs that have allowed me to become a better educator. In addition, a== ==person needs to have a desire to educate others. If a person does not like teaching, he/she would not be a a good candidate for the career. I have been helping teach children in different settings for 10 years. I enjoyed every experience I have encountered, and substitute teaching this year has solidified my choice even more to become a teacher.==

I believe that learning is a collaboration of one’s personal experiences, because children learn
==by doing. If children hear a story about someone else’s experiences, they are less likely to remember the information or learn from the experience, unless they have taken part in the experience themselves. Students only learn when they can connect one of their experiences to what they are being taught, so students’ experiences are directly related to their learning abilities. Before I teach a lesson, I like to ask the students what they may or may not know about a topic, so that I am able to build on their own experiences. Also, it is wonderful to give students their first hands-on experience with a topic if they do not know much about the topic.== ==
