Learning is the most important pursuit in life. It prepares us for careers, helps us conquer past mistakes, allows us to obtain new skills and trades, develops our interpersonal awareness, and invigorates our minds and bodies. Learning isnt constrained to a classroom or textbook, but permeates our interactions, movements, and thoughts. My role as an educator is not to teach, but to facilitate learning. When I was a student, I thought that a teacher was successful if and only if her students earned good grades. Ive found that some of my greatest triumphs as a teacher came from students who did not receive high marks; they were moments when these students struck a chord with the material, finally grasped the concepts that were escaping them, or found something that they were passionate about. Student success has marked my success as an educatorbut its important to note that student success isnt necessarily an assembly line of straight As to a high school diploma to a college degree to a steady career. Student success is defined individually, and attained by a process of setting an end goal, outlining a realistic path to get there, and then reaching those steps along the path. Every rung on that ladder to success is going to involve learning in some form. Its my responsibility, as well as that of other educators, parents, and the students themselves to ensure this learning occurs and moves them upward. We are learning about how the world works all the timecollecting information with our senses and using it to construct a model for how our universe operates. Whether the way we perceive the world is representative of truth is a matter I have to confront. As a physics learning facilitator, I employ a form of modeling instruction. In my classroom, students gain knowledge about their physical world by observing physical phenomena, asking questions, and developing controlled experiments to try and answer those questions. When data conflicts with their current mental model, students are forced to restructure how they believe the world works. This observation-based learning doesnt favor those with strong mathematical backgrounds, and puts students on more equal footing. In my teaching program and in my time as a scientist, I spent a lot of time analyzing situations to see what conclusions I could draw and what I could do with those conclusions. If these hours of careful thought have taught me anything, its that the real world is complex, and what seems to be caused by one thing may have an underlying cause elsewhere. This cautious mindset is important in a learning environment since students are complex systems, and bring with them their own personal preconceptions, paradigms, classroom expectations, methods of communication, physical and intellectual struggles, and behavioral nuances. I have been learning to balance, through trial and introspection, the necessity of a generalized unit plan/curriculum and a personalized learning experience for my students. Its required me to analyze my own archetypes, be attentive to each of my students, establish open communication, and question each action with the students success in mind. This process has been tiring and sometimes painful, but the fruits of it have manifested themselves in better student-teacher relationships, increased student confidence, and improved conceptual competency.
