My philosophy about education
There are many things have been said
of the teaching profession.” It is said that this is the noblest of all
professions.” No one will be successful if there were no teachers who taught
for their students.
Teaching is not a job. It is more
than a job. It is merely a mission to carry out. We, teachers, are called not
only to instruct pupils/ students in our own field though this is our basic
task and to do it well is a valuable service but to be good influences on them.
We, mentors, have the courage to influence our students, in order to influence
them to love learning. According to Henry Adams that “A teacher affects eternity; no one knows
where his influence stops.”Bare in mind that, never underestimate your power as
a teacher. Never underestimate your power to make a difference in the lives of
your pupil/students.
Teaching is your profession. It
feeds on continuing professional education. This is your calling. This is your
mission, to be a good influence on the young and impressionable. It is a very
noble one. Our pupils and their parents, your co-teachers, your superiors and
especially you yourself and GOD have their eyes/ your conscience on how well you will
answer this calling or carry out you mission.
What Professional teacher
really is?
Merely calling a teacher is not
enough to facilitate the 4 walls of the classroom, instead there should be a
firm weapon to face various kinds of problem inside of your parameter. That
weapon is your LICENSE. The professional teacher is the licensed professional
who possesses dignity and reputation with high moral values as well as
technical and professional competence; teachers must adhere to, observe, and
practice a set of ethical and moral principle standard and values. Dedication
to the job of teaching is the true essence of professionalism. In order to see the output of your dedication,
the teacher must facilitate learning through expertise in his/her subject and
well-skilled in the science and art of teaching. He/she must have a pleasing
personality and a model of values, and most especially he/she must have a
passion for teaching sense of humor, patience and enthusiasm.
