I was doing a teacher’s profile as part of the attachment. While doing the response, it expresses much of my true comments and serves as a reminder of why I wanted to teach in the first place. Although I have not started teaching yet, but it was good as there are many distractions even during university days.

My Philosophy as an Educator [Belief, Motivation & Goals]

I always believe every student is unique in their own ways and has their own potential which need to be developed. It is important not to apply the same formula to every student but instead pay individualistic attention to each student as much as possible. I believe that as an educator, I need to be a model of encouragement to spur my students. This will bring positive reinforcement to them. Regardless of the situation, there is a need to always believe in the students and place that hope in their hearts.

My motivation as an educator is the opportunity to impact what I have as an educator to the next generation. It is the joy from not just living of my own life, not to live it for the next generation. Thus the opportunity to contribute to the next generation through the impartation of knowledge and values is what motivates me to become an educator.

Apart from developing the next generation, one of my goals as an educator is to make a difference in the lives of my students. It does not matter the number of students’ lives I have made a difference in, even if it is only one, it is still significant. I believe as an educator, it is not only knowledge that I impact, but life values are equally crucial as well. Thus, one of my goal as an educator is to make the difference to the students’ lives, in terms of both knowledge and values.

May this always be a driving force behind my role as an educator.
