                             To educate is to become a better educated person.   It  is circular process that 

improves with time; we believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the 

necessary  knowledge and skills   to   succeed  in  academic,  business  and personal  arenas.  Our 

teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social problems. 

Education   provides   the   tools   to  make   informed   decisions,   synthesize   ideas,   and   critically 

evaluate   relevant   issues   and   to   enjoy   life.   Therefore   pursuing   knowledge   and  working   to 

improve our skills as an educator are among our highest priorities.  

                           As   an   educator,  we  will   strive   to   encourage   excellence   in   our   students   and 

ourselves. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and 

events.   Students   learn   and   retain   more   information   if   the   material   is   presented   in   an 

environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, we believe that using a variety 

of  multimedia   including  video,   slides,  and   the   internet,   is  an  effective  way   to   complement 

traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational experience. We feel that 

we   can   encourage   students   to   seek   new   knowledge   and   explore   their   own   ideas   by   an 

enthusiastic   presentation   of   both  what   is.   And  what   is   not   known   about   subjects.  When 

appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What 

better way to make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing 

how organisms interact with their environment?

                          In our interaction with students, we will strive always to be respectful, especially 

when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific thinking. We want 

our student to learn to think critically, not merely to accept our ideas and opinions; our drive to 

pursue higher education was due in part to several  teachers who inspired catalyst for other 

people to pursue their dreams.

In my 10 hours of observation experience, I learned that a curriculum will not be successful unless supported by parents, faculty members, managers, administrators, community members, and other stakeholders during the process of its implementation. There should have collaboration between these stakeholders to achieve a certain curriculum.

I also learned that in designing a curriculum, teachers should consider not only the goals and objectives but also the learners who will be experiencing the said curriculum.

As a future teacher, I will see to it that what is intended will be implemented and what is implemented will be achieved.
