My Teaching Philosophy

coconut

1-Teaching philosophy

Objective

My objective is to teach high school students with a combination of hard and soft manner at the same time. I want to teach the way that they do not feel congested and boring in the class and wanted to do the work that I have given them in the class and also for home. I compared my teaching character with a coconut which is hard from outside but at the same time soft from inside.
1.The experience that had made me realize to have this kind of teaching personality came from assisting teachers in Queens’s high schools as a paraprofessional.
2.I also learned from teaching my siblings at home as I was the oldest child of my parents.
3.I learned to help others a lot by working in the pharmacy as a technician.

Reaction To my Work

4-Reaction to my work

My Eportfolio and the two sample lessons on my Blog, online Bio Students will be able to have a command on these two experiments. They will know by watching at the digital camera that How to correctly use the microscope in the Bio lab to make the onion slide and How to take the reading of water meniscus in the beaker. If students have any Questions, feel free to post your comments on my blog.
I will be continuing to work on my efolio more than that and will make an Efolio of mine in order to apply for my future job of teaching. I am really thankful to Prof. Jen for helping me out in every question that have asked her during the class session.
