Interest

My passion lies in music and working with children. I hope to be able to work closely with children with special needs through music therapy in future. This has been my ambition since I graduated from high school. I believe that if used correctly, music is greatly beneficial to children with special needs, especially those with learning disabilities such as dyslexia etc. One of the reasons why my passion is in music is because music has no boundaries. It reaches out to people regardless of their race, religion, age, sex or developmental ability – it is available to everyone.

  Philosophy Statement   Through the writing of my personal teaching philosophy, it made me think deeper into my role as an educator and why this profession is important to me personally. It also made me think about what it is that I would like to bring into my classroom and the way that I want to impact the children. However, I also believe that I should constantly review and revise my philosophy of education as I grow personally and professionally. A philosophy of education grows with the educator herself.

Curriculum Template   As an educator, I believe that it is crucial to know and understand the various methods I can bring a lesson across to my children. There are different tools of inquiry, materials and mediums for teaching any subjects to children. By being able to come up with numerous methods of teaching a unit, it helps children to create meaningful learning experiences for themselves and they will also be able to take on different perspective towards any given topic.

Adapted Lesson Plans   In recent years, it is common to see a child with special needs in a mainstream classroom setting. Some centers might have specialized individual action plans for these children while some centers do not. I believe that as an educator, we should not deprive these children with the opportunity to learn and should make use of the resources available to us while helping these children.
