Philosophy of Education
Educators are an important part of a child’s educational life. These educators are
considered to be the preparer for a child’s learning skills. They are also considered to be
a child’s mentor. Educators are life long learners who can show commitment to their
students and be able to evaluate themselves. An educator also needs to be able to learn
about all the new advancements in modern technology and how to incorporate this into
their classroom.
Educators must be committed life long learners. Life long learners are those that
continue to learn new skills and knowledge throughout their life, some learn by mistakes
and others learn from experiences they have had. It is important for educators to be life
long learners because there are continuous advancements in society that they need learn
about in order to teach the students about the advancements in the society. The students
benefit from their educator being a life long learner since these educators are more
committed to their students and their classroom. Students who learn from an educator
that is not a life long learner usually struggle in class because they have problems within
their classroom that make it difficult for the students to learn properly.
Along with being a life long learner an educator must be committed to their
learners. Students know when an educator is committed to their needs at school and
when an educator is their just for the paycheck. Students need to feel like they can go to
their educator and talk to them about their problems they have. Students can also sense
when an educator has a bad relationship with one of their fellow classmates. When there
is a problem with this, this becomes disruptive for the entire class. This can make the

Students need to feel like they can go to their educator and talk to them about their problems they have. Students can also sense when an educator has a bad relationship with one of their fellow classmates. When there is a problem with this, this becomes disruptive for the entire class. This can make the

level of knowledge gained in the classroom drop. Educators who have no commitment to their students not only are failing themselves, but are also failing their students. Educators also must be able to evaluate themselves truthfully. An educator needs to be able to see that if the majority of the class is failing that there is a problem and that the problem is not with the students. The educator should not get discouraged but just change some of their teaching methods until they find the method that the students learn best with. Educators should try to introduce new ways to present their material to their students. Educators that can look back on their past evaluations and learn from these evaluations are only helping themselves become better educators. Technology is advancing every minute of everyday. With all these advancements, educators need to be able to incorporate this into their classrooms and lectures. Just about everything is beginning to be done on a computer. Educators must be able to learn how to operate and teach how to operate the computer efficiently and effectively. The students of today are more computers orientated than the generations before them. Since these students know a lot about computers and modern technology than some educators this could cause some problems within their classroom. I feel that an educator who knows about computers and modern technology can incorporate this is into their classroom. It can aid in visual presentations to help the students learn about the lesson a little easier and better. Most students learn better when they have examples and presentations in front of them. I believe that the educators should also use their old teaching methods along with using the modern technology. To be a successful educator you must be committed to your students, must also be a life long learner, and be able to keep up with modern technology. A successful
