Teachers Philosophy
The teacher I am aiding for has teaching philosophy that I really like and agree with. His philosophy geared toward hands on learning, thinking like a third grader, and his classroom being a positive class rather than negative. He likes to do interactive learning games rather than just worksheets because it gets the children more involved and excited about what they are studying. Also to make the environment calm, he plays soft music and dims the lights when the kids are transitioning or reading. My supervising teacher also believes in being consistent, organized and planned.

This sounds very interesting and very student-centered. My supervising teacher also likes the sway away from using worksheets which are quite boring. This will be interesting for you to observe. I especially like the part about thinking like a 3rd grader. It's important to keep this in mind every step of the way, for they are still working on cognitive development.
ReplyDeleteA student-centered environment is very interesting and seems to keep the students attention focused, but do you think there are any particular disadvantages?
That sounds like a very fun and interesting philosophy. I have always liked hands on learning and believe I learn better being able to interact rather then just do a work sheet. I hope the rest of your aiding goes well, good luck!
