My philosophy about the purpose of school is that school is an institution that is for learning.
I feel that it is a place where students go to learn and teachers are there to guide them to learn.
I believe that everyone should be afforded the opportunity to attend school and obtain an education. Additionally, I feel that parents should guide their children to an understanding of the importance of education by making sure that they attend school. In some countries students have to walk miles and miles just to go to school to obtain skills for an education while some do not have them privilege at all because they have to work to help take care of their families. In my opinion, everyone should have the opportunity to attend school.
When a student attends school I feel that schools should be an environment that is conducive for new and innovative learning. A school should exhibit learning on the wall of the hallways, in someone’s voice over the intercom and it should be displayed in students while walking the halls. Students should be happy to attend school each day. When a person enters in a school building, they should see a school climate of learning.

In retrospect, students should learn to read, write, learn a variety of languages, compute math and learn technology as a priority in today’s curriculum. I feel that with the diversity of cultures that are entering our schools it is important that we become more flexible to learning other language as well as the basic skills. I do agree that English should be the first learned language, however we could start our young school starters with diversity when they enter kindergarten.
For me this notion also stands the same for technology as it is ever-evolving. As technology changes I believe that soon it will be including in state standards from K-12. What I have found with using technology and multi-medias in the classroom is that it helps with differentiating instruction as well as enhancing the diverse learning styles in the classrooms. I believe that integration of technology is the pathway to academic success in the 21st century. Additionally, the complexities of computer technology could assist students with the logical reasoning that could be applied to curriculum today.
My career demonstrates my beliefs because I currently teach 5th grade in a Title-one school and my goal is to expose students to as much technology as possible. In our school we have limited resources but that doesn’t stop me from making sure my students learn. I was a career changer that chose to teach to make a difference in American schools. And each year I strive to make an impact on my students by stressing the importance of obtaining an education.
But most of all, I have a strong passion to assist students with learning gaps to get them on track with their learning. I believe that all students can be successful, it just takes a teacher with a passion to teach to engage students to learn.
