teaching philosophy
In my classroom, I want my students to feel like they've learned a lot and had a great time doing it.
My students need to work hard to be successful in their studies, and I need to work hard to be a great teacher. As a teacher, I need to be adaptable. I need to recognize what's not working, or no longer working, and make the effort to change. I also need to be open to new ideas, such as technology, to enhance my lessons. I don't believe in the use of technology for technology's sake but instead to be used to allow students to acquire the skills (in my case, language) that they need. Also, variety is needed in the classroom. Too much of any one activity can get boring for the students and the teacher! No one learns well when they are bored!
To be successful learners, my students need to work just as hard. If they don't do their part, they won't learn what they need, no matter what I do. They also need to be adaptable, perhaps participating in activities unlike what they've ever done before. This includes technology. Like teachers, they may be afraid to try something new, but a good teacher will help them
