Teaching Philosophy

I believe that each and every child learns differently and it is our job as a teacher to find out the way that they best learn, and then present the material to them in that way. This goes along the lines of Howard Garner's Multiple Intelligence theory. Basically, it says that there are many ways that a child can learn. These include: visual/spatial, bodily/kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, linguistic, and logical/mathematical.

Including this logic into the classroom is not all that difficult. I hope to include several of these types of learning into each lesson. Therefore, all students who appeal to those way of learning will learn in their own way, with also seeing different ways to look at the situation. Now, of course it would be very difficult to include all seven intelligences into one single lesson, but throughout the day or a week's lesson, all seven types of intelligences should be introduced in the classroom in some way.
