My Philosophy:
My Philosophy of Teaching To teach is to be relevant, relational, realistic, ready, and real with students. It'simportant to understand the student's inner and outer landscape to adequately identify obstacles to the learning process. To effect life-long change, one must begin with the present and past experiences of students. It's equally important to peer into their unspoken longings and invite them forward into the future. As students continue to grow and add to their life experiences we must also continue to understand and adjust our approach. Teaching must be relevant to the learner. It is my belief that teachers need to initiate the process of building rapport with learners early on in first encounters. As I first meet my students I am very alert to body language and to group dynamics. These early signs of relationship enable me to better develop an appropriate rapport in the present moment and in the days to come. One dares not attempt to teach without being relational. Teachingmust be realistic as to how much students can accomplish in a given time interval, knowing that some may need to unlearn incorrect patterns of thinking and some need more awareness of how content will benefit them now and/or the future. Other students may need a quicker pace to keep their interest in learning. Advancepreparation does wonders for setting the tone for spontaneous creativity. Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of preparing ahead is that of freeing up the mind and spirit of the teacher to be fully present. This state of restfulness is an asset enabling keen awareness of appropriate responses and actions. I seek to prepare as fully as possible and plan for flexible times. To teach, one must be ready, fully aware of and knowledgeable about a specific subject. I have discovered that students respect passionate personal presentations when they break forth from one's genuine experience and are connected to the subject matter. This giving of one's self brings an unique element to teaching that students often find a refreshing encounter. One needs to be sensitive to the needs of the present moment and be real. When the above approach takes place, I find teaching to be a great joy and learning seems to occur at a deeper level within a shorter time frame for my students. AllenNice-Webb
