    EDFD452 My individual teaching philosophy (Original) Jodie Ferguson

    It is important for teachers to continue to research and maintain current pedagogical


    content knowledge as they work in the profession. To be a lifelong learner is a skill
    every effective teacher possesses and strives to maintain. Learning is a process in which
    teachers and students work together to achieve individual growth and success. By
    learning together, it is not only the teacher that is encouraged to be a lifelong learner but
    the students are also developing skills to continue to learn and inquire. In order for
    teachers to learn alongside their students they need to know their students as individuals
    with different learning needs.
    Students learning cannot be generalised and specified as being one method of learning.
    They have the ability to utilise multiple methods for a variety of concepts in order to
    learn most effectively. Teachers need to be able to teach material and present ideas in a
    number of ways in order to achieve student understanding. Reaching students at an
    individual level offers a great deal of satisfaction for a teacher. Teaching as a profession
    is an avenue to make a difference on individual lives and society as a whole. The goal of
    teaching is to develop young minds into active, global citizens of the future.
    My preference for teaching in the catholic setting exists due to the values these schools
    exhibit and practice throughout their school community. Faith is described as a spiritual
    journey in which students shape beliefs and develop into people of God. In my
    experience with catholic schools, they have had an emphasis on social justice and equal
    opportunity. It is important for these values to be demonstrated within the classroom
    between teachers and students and the relationships that are formed throughout the
    school community (staff, parents, students, parish and teachers). A positive rapport with
    students, co-workers and the general school community is essential for a teacher to be
    most effective.
    An effective teacher is able to engage students using varying activities and forms of
    ICT. Due to globalization, young people are more aware of technology and the effects t
    has on the changing world. It is a teachers role in the modern classroom to facilitate
    students learning and provide opportunities for such technologies to be taught or
    utilised within the classroom. ICT can provide and avenue for reaching students with all
    kinds of learning needs. Students can manipulate, record, listen, read, etc. using
    technology such as an iPad which can increase engagement with basic activities.
    Increased student engagement will result in more effective learning.
