My philosophy in education is rooted in my belief that each student is fully capable of learning and performing well. One of the critical methods that are important to me is active participation with positive reinforcement. I believe students should be reminded that learning is fun, rather than a series of obstacles they ought to overcome. A good teacher should praise students' accomplishments. A good teacher should challenge students to apply critical thinking skill when learning materials. A good teacher should encourage and help them get back on track and try again when they struggle. A teaching environment is a great opportunity for both me and my students to continuously learn and improve. With my knowledge and academic experiences, I want to reciprocate to students in need. How can you help a student become an independent learner? In order to help a student become an independent learner, it is important to establish a learning/studying method that works for the student. People often say, 'give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you fee him for a lifetime.' Rather than telling what the correct answers are, I want each student to learn how to solve problems and establish an effective learning habit. How would you help a student stay motivated?
