Teaching Philosophy From the variety of classes taught, I have learned motivation of student creativity is essential to begin the learning process. Usually this entails encouraging their artistic instincts, building up self-esteem, and permitting unique concepts of self expression. Most barriers established between the course material and the students are constructed by internal fears or external distracting resources. A manner of establishing motivation during lectures is the use of simple, brainstorming activities, warming up their right brain thought process. Through sketching, acting, or generating lists as a group, the room collectively warms up to receiving new information. Likewise by promoting diversity, students begin performing beyond expectations, and also begin testing their own limitations. Whenever possible, one-on-one tutorials generate a stronger bond between the student and the course material. Oftentimes questions emerge easier when an audience remains limited to the instructor and the college pupil. Before or after class I often establish meeting times with individuals throughout the term session. In this way, the teacher confirms the knowledge gained by the novice and clarifies any necessary issues. |
