Teaching Statement of Beliefs and Values

I believe in creating an inclusive and equitable learning environment where every

student, regardless of their background, feels valued and respected. In my teaching, I prioritize

diversity and actively work to include voices from various cultures, backgrounds, and

perspectives. I will provide my students with readings and assignments that allow them to

explore a variety of different cultures, languages and lived experiences. Exposure to a variety of

cultures, perspectives, and experiences encourages students to think critically and develop a

more comprehensive understanding of complex issues. It broadens their horizons and helps them

see the world from different angles. When students see themselves and their backgrounds

represented within the classroom and material, they are more likely to engage, participate and

show enthusiasm. By creating a diverse and inclusive learning environment, students will be

belikely to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for responsible and engaged citizenship

in a multicultural society. I view diversity as a strength that enriches our educational experience,

therefore, should be at the core of our teaching.

I believe peace is crucial for my classroom environment. I will instill a sense of harmony

and understanding among students by encouraging open dialogue and constructive discussions. I

believe that through peaceful interactions, we can create a safe space for learning and personal

growth. Routinely, I will have my students engage in peer feedback workshops to promote

constructive comments. I will teach my students how to be respectful of others’ opinions even if

they oppose them. I will demonstrate how powerful and beautiful language can be and how it can

uplift those around us. Encouraging open dialogue and constructive discussions will develop the

communication skills of my students. They will learn how to express their thoughts, ideas,

articulate their opinions, and engage in respectful debates. A classroom that prioritizes peace and
understanding provides a safe and supportive space for students. When students feel safe and

comfortable, they are more likely to take risks, ask questions, and participate actively in the

learning process. When students feel valued and heard, they are more motivated to participate

actively in class and engage with the materials which can lead to improved academic

performance. This is why peace is a core component, not only in my classroom, but for my

students learning.

Fairness is at the core of my teaching philosophy. I treat all students fairly while

recognizing their unique strengths and challenges. My goal is to provide equal and equitable

opportunities for success and ensure that assessment and grading processes are transparent and

unbiased. I will frequently perform formative assessments that are beneficial for myself as an

educator and for my students to track our collective progression. Students will be able to see

their progress and I will be able to get a feel for where their understanding and learning is with

atopic or unit. By doing this, I believe that my students will have great success with the

summative assessments. Along with this, I will not only teach my students academically, but also

socially, and emotionally.

A teacher wears many hats with duties that could switch at a moment’s notice. I build

relationships with my students that are long-lasting, impactful and makes them feel safe within

my classroom. I will do this by getting to know my students and their experiences, building

bonds with them through one-on-one time whenever possible and asking them what they need

out of me. A positive and supportive classroom environment can enhance students' ability to

absorb, retain and engage with the information. When students feel safe and valued, they are

more open to learning and exploring new concepts. I want to be a support system that they can

confide in whenever they need to. By making yourself available as a confidant and support
system, students will be more comfortable sharing their ideas, concerns, questions, and

challenges. This can lead to better communication and a deeper understanding of their needs,

allowing myself to tailor my teaching to better meet their needs.
