Philosophy of teaching and education My philosophy is that an educator is the most precious resource our country has. Of all the jobs and careers in this world, none would be possible without teachers. There are two main points in my philosophy: why teachers are important and who teachers are. I hope that reading my philosophy will give you a better understanding of the importance of educators in this world. Teachers are very important in our society because we need them to provide our young people with the knowledge and social experiences they will need to improve their future. of the entire planet. As a teacher I hope to impact many lives and help students understand what education can do for them and their future. I only remember one high school teacher actually talking about college and what we should do to be better prepared for college. Dr. Lawrence was my 11th grade chemistry teacher. He had been a college professor at George Mason University for about 30 years before deciding to teach at my school. She brought a college atmosphere to our classroom, which helped prepare us for what things would be like in college. This is just a small example of what teachers are for: educating students about more than just books or academics, but about life. Teachers are more than just people who convey information on a particular topic. Who are teachers, they are anyone and everyone. Teachers are grandmothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. For anything to be learned, it must be taught. I remember many times my mother and father would sit me down to talk about some situations that might arise and tell me how to deal with them. Classroom teachers, especially in the early years, are the people those students will see and learn from most throughout the day
