¶ … teaching philosophy written. I 15 years experience health care industry management technical. I supervise
The core element of my teaching philosophy is to lead -- and subsequently teach -- by example. I have worked in the health care industry for the past 15 years. During that time, I have been involved in both technical and management aspects of the various organizations for which I have been employed. At present, I am responsible for the supervision of no less than 23 employees. During my tenure in this industry, I have found that the most efficacious way of instilling values and attributes in employees that I want them to demonstrate is by demonstrating those same mores and practices myself.
I first adopted my teaching philosophy while still a student myself. A person's first teachers are usually his or her parents. The experience that I learned from my parents while I was in grade school, and which I have applied...
It is one thing to espouse a variety of idealistic virtues that one wants others to follow. But when people see someone actually actuating those thoughts and words, day in and day out (whether one is a parent or a manager) they not only understand them better but they tend to mimic that behavior themselves.

My specific mantra is, 'I can show you better than I can tell you'. Although not every aspect of each individual employee's job is easily translated into demonstrations that I am able to produce, I…
Multicultural education researchers and educators agree that preservice teachers' attitudes, beliefs, and understandings are important: foci in multicultural education coursework (Cochran-Smith, 1995; Grant & Secada, 1990; McDiarmid & Price, 1993; Pohan, 1996). Teacher attitudes and beliefs influence teaching behaviors, which affect student learning and behavior (Wiest, 1998)." 1996 study used 492 pre-service teachers to try and gauge the attitudes and beliefs among the group when it came to understanding diversity and
"Many of our current challenges are unprecedented," the president explained. "There are no standard remedies, or go-to fixes this time around. That is why we are going to need your help. We'll need young people like you to step up. We need your daring and your enthusiasm and your energy." I will continue to offer my enthusiasm and my energy -- and hopefully I will be daring enough to
The Teacher and Principal Relationship with the Principal as Leader Research indicate that the primary role of the principal is that of the school "leader." The decision a principal makes concerning the issue of instructional leadership and the extent to which that principal develops the skills needed to exercise appropriate instructional leadership will influence what does or does not happen in classrooms throughout the country. Marks and Printy (2003) agree that the importance of the instructional leadership
1 million today, Smith explains. About 79% of ESL students have Spanish as their native language, and hence, Smith insists, "there is an urgent need for as many teachers as possible to be skilled in and passionate about working with ESL students" (Smith, 2008, p. 5). The mentor (an ESL specialist) needs to apply "professional knowledge to actual practice" when working with another teacher, Smith explains. There are two components to
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
