Teaching is ideally a noble profession, and it can/ be best utilized with a friendly environment and good personal interaction since, for efficiency, a teacher needs to be in good terms with the students which can be achieved by creating a rapport.it is a requirement by the teachers to have their philosophies to allow them adequately dispatch their services. As a teacher am guided by my philosophy, which assists me in my teaching activities effectively and has led to a good relationship with my students; hence by being guided by their facial expression, they are happy and enjoy classes.

As a teacher am tasked with educating my students for a brighter future, and I usually spend my time either in-class teaching or in the staff room preparing for some class activities hence making it tougher to get time for non-school or non-teaching activities. As a teacher, I find it challenging to have time for socialization since the available time is during the weekends and school holidays. Based on this fact, it shows that a teacher is usually busy (Sachs,2003) .i I find it interesting to take part in extra curriculum activities, which makes the students more friendly. We can exercise with them for healthy, physical and well being of the mind especially guided by the famous quote which later became a proverb ” All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, All play and no work makes Jack a mere toy “.hence in my teaching philosophy I allow a lot of play and gaming to make the students active and avoid monotony and boredom.

I Am dedicated to Teaching, and I admit that it is a noble calling, which makes it a unique profession that requires daily interaction with the students and a close tie, which makes the teacher-student bond stringer. In my teaching job, I came to realize that students tend to believe what the teacher says hence making it necessary for teachers to be cautious about what they say since they can shape their future. As a teacher am required o be humble when in class or when in extra curriculum activities (Cooper & Travers,2012) .i believe that when am arrogant I would not achieve the intended purpose of Teaching and am likely to get negative result .when mentioning the names of the students usually avoid shouting to avoid causing fear and low voices shows a lot of respect to both parties.in class when teaching tonal variation so very important and avoidance of shouting names should be avoided as I do. When I practice humility can attract many friends, and the students would be able to air the challenges they face, and we can solve them without having lousy blood in between.

Learning and teaching activities are usually done chronologically in any leaning setting.it is a process that affects all the people involved .it is important to note that a student learns from the teacher. The teacher also learns from the student. Learning includes the integration and application of various concepts, including motivational aspects to the students. As a teacher, my motive is to complete many different aims, including motivating the learners to make use of their potentials and work at their level best.am tasked with the ability to master the field of Teaching. I make sure that students understand all the concepts I teach (Carr,2005) .i I make sure that I am a reliable mentor to them, and I ensure that they can comfortably air their voices in the school setting and outside. I have been practicing what I gained in college during my teaching practice, and I aspire to implement more and more. I have learned the importance if encouraging teamwork. Use of inquiry-based instructions, which boosts concepts understanding deeply. Posing random questions and adoption of technology in the classroom helps the students connect for the future

It is true to say that I have gone and passed through many ups and downs in my life, especially in academics. Challenges were there, which acted as obstacles towards my development academically. I have to disseminate my services via the use of group work, inquiry, and technology and avoid dependence on theories as to the only means. I have to take a lot of consideration for the outside world and not the classroom activities alone (Sachs,2003). My Teaching assists the students in having a better improvement in knowledge hence making them better off and improve on their understanding levels. For the current state of the world, I ensure it by technology integration of technology and learning and theory can develop their gaming skills, academic, and life skills.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I have come to realize that teaching is a noble profession and can shape the students for what they are to be in the future. Every teacher has what he believes in as philosophy and some philosophies as common to all. Shouting of names of the students should be avoided since it would translate to rudeness .a teacher should be humble and have a good understanding of his students .learning should prepare and equip the students for the future of the world as it keeps on changing learning in a classroom is a two-way traffic since students learn from their teacher and teachers can learn from their students.
