Philosophy with State Standards and Expectations

My philosophy of education is about making children feel safe and comfortable so that they are able to learn well and get the most out of their education.  I believe my philosophy goes hand in hand with the state expectations because the comfortable children in my classroom will feel confident in themselves and will be able to meet the standards given by the state.  I plan to someday give my students every opportunity to be good at what they need to learn and eventually know.  I will give them multiple trys to get things right and constructively correct them to help them get better.  Using the knowledge I have learned in this class will help me to get the students through all the standards.  Now that I know how to properly add music into a classroom and how to get the children to know and understand the standards I believe my classroom of kids will be very successful.  By creating a welcoming classroom and by giving them the knowledge they need to succeed, these children will meet the standards and also be happy doing it.

  1. Brittany,

    Great post! Remember that the standards are also designed to develop students' higher levels of critical thinking and to help make them experts at the material you are presenting. It also gives them a chance to learn as a process rather than focusing on testing and the product!
