Education is one of the most important elements in a childs growth and
development. Education provides opportunities for children to learn how to
cooperate and socialize, builds a foundation for their knowledge, and prepares them
to make their own decisions.
I believe that students learning process is influenced by a teachers beliefs
about education. Thus, my personal beliefs will have an impact on how I teach and
approach students; and as a consequence, it will have an effect, in one way or
another, on students lives.
As a teacher, I will define and establish goals for my students. Based on the
curriculum, I will plan out lessons effectively to bring the best outcomes. I will not
hesitate to try different teaching strategies nor be biased on personal favourite
teaching methods. I will accept and adapt changes when needed and will always
distinguish and prioritize students needs at all times. I will approach students with
kindness, manners, and enthusiasm. I will always respect and treat each and every
student equally in any circumstances. I will not judge nor have favouritism among
students. Students will be assessed based on their learning abilities and will not be
compared or be judged.
I believe valuing relationships with colleagues and parents is important in
this profession. Sharing opinions and supporting one another helps teachers to
become better teachers. As with parents, respectful communication can build a
strong, trustworthy bond that helps students growth and development, both at
school and outside of the school. When building relationships with students, parents,

and colleagues, I will not build friendship, but will keep my status as a teacher to
establish respectful relationships.

As for classroom management, safety will always come first. I will always be

prepared to handle any incidents or drills in a calm manner. I believe that

classrooms should be a place where students can learn with passion and
enthusiasm. Therefore, I will do my best to create a positive, welcoming, and
motivating classroom environment by making classroom rules with students and
providing their needs. Lastly, I also believe that classrooms should be a shelter
where students feel loved, safe and comfortable being themselves and a second
home where they can rely on.
I will use variety of teaching strategies for students learning benefit, and
keep my professional and personal life separated. As well, I aim to create a
classroom environment for students to learn with passion and love.
