Teaching philosophy
I enjoyed seeing your comment about spending time with students and finding out more about them. That would definitely go far with a student and help us when we are giving them positive feedback to reinforce and keep them on track toward our teaching goals. Finding time in a limited classroom period to effectively individualize education with each student is going to be a challenge for us. We often have so many students and so little time with them for individual communication in today's school environment. Phura001 (talk) 18:29, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

The concept of being able to have a one on one time with each student would be idle. Tfrat001 (talk) 01:36, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

First I want to say Congratulations on the new marriage! And I am very glad to hear you mother is better now! That is very impressive that you took a few years off of school to take care of her. I agree with your teaching philosophy. It is very important to have an environment where the student feels comfortable. I remember when I had a class where the teacher wasn't very welcoming, I never felt like going to that class and it made me not want to learn the subject. If a student doesn't feel comfortable in a class, they won't ask questions and that means they will most likely get lost or not learn the material. And even though it is very difficult for teachers to get to know each student on an individual basis, I agree that it is very important to have a positive relationship with all students.
