Words of Wisdom

The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.

Teaching Philosophy

Actually, being a teacher is my ambition since school time and as I have become a teacher now, I should appreciate it and try my best to be the great teacher in my students’ heart. As a science teacher, I really want to share my knowledge and experiences with them. I have to be really patient in guidance them to love science so that they can practice science as part of their daily life.
  • I believe the students are our future...
I believe each and every student has the potential to bring something unique and special to the world. I will help student to develop their potential by believing in them as capable individuals. I will assist student in discovering who they are, so they can express their own opinions and nurture their own ideas. I have a vision of a world where people learn to respect, accept, and embrace the differences between us, as the core of what makes life so fascinating.

  • Teach them well and let them lead the way…
Every classroom presents a unique community of learners that varies not only in abilities, but also in learning styles. My role as a teacher is to give student the tools with which to cultivate their own gardens of knowledge. To accomplish this goal, I will teach to the needs of each student so that all learners can feel capable and successful. I will present curriculum that involves the interests of the student and makes learning relevant to life. I will incorporate themes, integrated units, projects, group work, individual work, and hands-on learning in order to make student active learners. Finally, I will tie learning into the world community to help student become caring and active members of society.

  • Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
  • Give them a sense of pride…
My classroom will be a caring, safe, and equitable environment where each student can blossom and grow. I will allow student to become responsible members of our classroom community by using strategies such as class meetings, positive discipline, and democratic principles. In showing student how to become responsible for themselves as well as their own learning, I am giving them the tools to become successful in life, to believe in themselves, and to love themselves. 

  • Let the student’s laughter remind us how we used to be…
Teaching is a lifelong learning process of learning about new philosophies and new strategies, learning from the parents and community, learning from colleagues, and especially learning from the student. Student have taught me to open my mind and my heart to the joys, the innocence, and the diversity of ideas in the world. Because of this, I will never forget how to smile with the new, cherish the old, and laugh with the student.
