One of the most important aspects of education is the process that student go through to
learn. I will use a hands-on teaching approach in my future classroom. I believe this is the best
learning technique, because students truly experience what they are learning. Additionally, when
the learning experience is hands-on, students are able to analyze how their new knowledge
applies to old facts they know. This process helps students to take ownership of their learning.
Students also tend to retain knowledge longer if they experience it. While teaching hands-on, I
will incorporate other learning strategies to ensure that all students needs are met
Classroom teachers have a unique job that entails many different roles. They are an
exemplar, coach, authority, expert, and most importantly a co-learner. A teacher should seek to
learn alongside her students. She should examine her lessons and teaching style to see how they
can be improved. A quality teacher tries to be a better teacher today than she was yesterday.
An exceptional teacher is one who encourages their students to embrace their unique
traits and talents that God has given them. They do not expect all of their students to conform to
societys expectations, but to grow in the light of who God made them to be. They also know
their varying roles in the classroom. They do her best to learn from their mistakes and seek to
constantly improve their classroom. The learning process is one where the students natural
curiosity is triggered in a safe environment. Teachers should not only focus on teaching their
students the standards required by the state, but real life knowledge. I hope that the knowledge
that I leave with my students will help them to succeed not only in their adult lives by providing
them a well-rounded education that nurtures the rational, spiritual, and physical, but will help
them to worship God more fully.
