My teaching philosophy is for students to become lifelong learners and independent readers and thinkers.

We may discuss some interests and goals that they may be creating for themselves. Next, create a plan of action for achieving their goals and choose activities that go along with these specific goals.

Students who wish to become independent learners are encouraged to read more books independently and consistently. They are also asked to read the subject matter beforehand so that they feel confident with the materials being taught.

A student is motivated by the feeling of success within themselves and the continual positive reinforcement that they would receive by a teacher.

Students sometimes feel unsure with skills that are being taught, but with practice and repetition, they could overcome their uncertainty. It is also important to understand that students learn at different paces and at many different levels, including diverse ways in strengthening their learning styles.

Students who struggle with reading comprehension should begin with reading a simple passage without overbearing them with too much information at once. It is a good strategy to break down the content into segments. Then, ask questions that will make the student think beneath the surface and enjoy the literature.

Many strategies that I think have been beneficial for a student to be successful should match with the student's learning styles, and the teacher should use a variety of methods to engage the reader to feel comfortable in more than one method.

A student can simply become excited by choosing something they enjoy and have interest in learning more about. It can be related to the topic in multiple ways.

Recalling information takes time and practice to learn appropriate study skills in order to achieve the benefits of understanding material with competency and accuracy. The student can choose more than one media to discover more about the topic.

Having a good rapport with a student means that the student can trust the teacher and understand that he or she is providing corrective criticism in a nurturing and positive environment where the student can value the teacher's feedback.

Evaluating a student's needs is very unique to each individual and must be determined through consistency and accuracy. Every student learns differently and must be approached in more than one way. Some evaluations can be quizzes, observations, and discussions, and any noted information that has been written by the teacher will be evaluated over extended periods of time.

Some students learn by hearing the material and responding, while others have better results by studying the content carefully and visually seeing it. Students process their information through many learning styles. It depends on the individual student.
