My pedagogical philosophy consists of challenging my students into discussing
innovative and worthwhile ideas which broaden their thinking patterns and enhance their critical thinking skills. I believe in creating lasting student-teacher relationships because thats how as a teacher, I know I can make a deep impact on my students lives. I engage students in positive, analytical, and critical dialogue, so they learn to question the normal or acceptable and challenge the regular way of doing things. My main aspiration as an educator is to bridge the gap between theory and practice and help my students see knowledge as relevant to their daily lives. My students and I, over the course of the year, engage in multiple activities that highlight the importance of willing participation while polishing our leadership skills. My students learn through collaborative sharing of knowledge and by engaging in thought-provoking discussions where everyones ideas are welcomed. I always share with my students at the beginning of the school year that I am merely a facilitator and a collaborator of knowledge, while making it obvious that the responsibility for learning falls in their own hands. While I encourage independence in learning, I also believe that when needed, my students need my guidance in removing the hurdles they face on their way to progressive success. I encourage my students to speak and participate, rather than listen and absorb. My classroom is a place where ideas can flourish and students are encouraged to find answers through investigation, participation, and collaboration. Over the year, my students learn to build a community that believes in working together for a greater good. My students learn to help each other in thoughtful discourse, raise the bar by bringing in healthy competition, support each others efforts in finding solutions to the problems at hand, and discover their own individual abilities in the process. My classroom environment focuses on building leadership skills, collaborative learning patterns, communication skills, critical thinking skills by actively engaging 21st century learners in using 21st century skills. I work diligently on bringing selfawareness to my students, so they can use their abilities to support their learning. I believe that my students must be able to distinguish between community and an individual. This awareness helps students in making successful and healthy relationships and achieving personal goals simultaneously. I use my pedagogical philosophy to prepare my students for a fast-approaching but unseen world. I am fully aware that my students need to be ready for an uncertain future where the jobs, professions, and global boundaries are undefined. I believe that my students should be ready to take on the challenges that future holds. I prepare my students for a global community where different people from all over the world merge and collaborate, hence the collaborative and participatory nature of my

classroom. I instill the idea of life-long learning into my students by exhibiting that I, myself, am a life-long learner who is always looking to remain current in my field by reading relevant literature and going back to school to get my M.Ed. 21st century learners. I strongly believe that The outcome beyond learning and teaching specific course content is recognizing that education is a life-long process and not just a preparation for a future career. (Dewey)
