    PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

    - TAYLOR GARBER -

    I believe my role as an elementary teacher is to support and foster a safe and caring learning
    environment where students feel comfortable to learn and express themselves. I use strategies to
    ensure that this occurs within the classroom, such as daily check-ins/greetings, morning
    meetings, positive reinforcement, and classroom jobs.These types of strategies help students feel
    understood and also as an important member in the classroom.

    I deeply care about all of my students, and I display this with a gentle and supportive demeanor. I
    listen to my students and their stories, and I integrate their experience and interests into lesson
    planning and activities. This helps students feel listened to and makes their learning more
    meaningful and interesting.

    I integrate student interests such as sports, video games, and the arts into my lessons. I also tell
    my own stories regarding interests to connect with students, and I also listen to their stories.
    This helps with relationship building and trust, which is essential in the classroom.

    I have many goals and high expectations for my students. Included in these goals are being
    caring and kind to their peers, enjoying what they learn and learning how to apply it to real-world
    problems, as well as developing problem-solving skills.

    I use a multitude of methods to reach students and goals I have for them. This includes group
    work and interacting with one another to learn from one another, as well as socratic circles and
    family meetings to feel togetherness and connectedness.

    On a separate note, after these lessons, I assess students continuously in multiple ways. I use
    checks for understanding, exit tickets, standard testing, as well as listening to students and how
    they got their answers. Assessments are incredibly important to see where students are at and I
    incorporate assessment results into lesson plans by backing up or moving forward based on
    them. Also, I want to make sure that my students can assess me as well. This is done by asking
    for student feedback and taking this into consideration with future lessons.

    Teachers learn from everyone. This includes colleagues, students, families, guardians, and the
    community in which one works. Learning never stops, and new strategies and ideas are always
    being developed. My philosophy might change, but that displays my development as a teacher
    and educator.

    Overall, a safe learning environment is a main priority, because safety and comfortability allow
    for more meaningful learning. When students feel heard and cared for (especially within
    Maslow’s hierarchy of needs), learning can occur and take place.
