Hello everyone! My name is Alex Pomozzi and I am a second year Interdisciplinary Studies major at Old Dominion University. I am very excited about studying education and i can not wait to someday get into a classroom and put my teaching philosophies and techniques into action. I have a lot of ideas aboiut how the classroom should be organized and how things should be run. My number one philosophy is that the learning environment should be a fun environment. It is so important to be able to grab and keep the attention of a child that is going through the learning process. Everyone knows what it is like to sit in a boring classroom and to have your mind wander. I believe that children should be assessed on a regular basis. They should have frequent tests to see where all the children are at at certain periods of time in a certain lesson that is being taught. Also, all children should be treated the same. No one child should be treated differently in a single classroom. If the child can not handle the classroom and is taking learning time away from the other students then they need to be placed in a special class according to their learning needs. This does not just include students that are lower than the learning curve, but also students that re above the learning curve.
