How my philosophy will impact my classroom

My philosophy on education involves being very flexible, relaxed, and to be there to facilitate learning for my students through helping them create their own experiences. I want learning to be hands on, real world application so that learning is not see as a pointless thing to them. Classroom Organization is a huge part of making an open environment and allowing the kids to work the best. In my class It will be very open to seating, it will not be assigned but some days might include a horseshoe shape, some might include small groups of desk, but 99% of the time the desk will be together for them to learn from one another, because that is the best way to learn from each other. I will have basic rules of respect for myself and the other students, but the students are also able to suggest anything to add to that, as long as there is a mutual respect for myself and other classmates.  My room will always be an open door policy for kids to come in and do work or get help. Motivation is a huge factor in the classroom, not only do I want my students to be motivated, I want to be motivated everyday to come in and have the best class. I will instill this into my students by allowing them to really study what they want, and be completely involved in that process. They will have the freedom to discover whatever they would like into a unit. I want them to make real world connections, have fun and make they're learning a good experience. Content Area will be standard every year for categories, such as nutrition, exercise physiology, stress, alcohol and drug abuse, sex ed, family relationships and learning styles. But within each of these unit it is wide open to interpretation by the students, they can take each unit as far as they would like, I am completely open to allowing them to think outside the box, and doing things like an agriculture project for nutrition. Assessments will be mostly a presentation or hands on activity that shows that they were able to take the content knowledge and apply it to the real world and they know what they are talking about. Assessments will also be determined after the students pick what they would like to do, only because things can be varied a lot. Classroom Climate goes along with my classroom organization and motivation for my students. I will have open doors at all time, and they are allowed to come to me for anything, I want everyone participating and saying ideas out loud so that it sparks something amongst them. Learning Focus will include anything they want, and I will fit it to a standard, if they are really interested in a  topic I will try to integrate it and not tell the students that we don't have enough time to do. Technology integration These students will have grown up with technology so they already know how to use it, I will always incorporate some sort of technology but also be conscious of who has internet at home to do assignments. Teacher and Leadership Style As a person in general as well as a teacher, I am very Type A and have strong leadership abilities. I do not like being a follower, I have to at least put my ideas out there, and facilitate in some way. I take directions well but avoid roles in which Im a sheep following along the rest. Im a very hands on, go get them person and expect my students to do the same for their learning, if they want to learn something they need to take the initiive to go out and do it and I will help every step of the way. I believe highly in teaching them life lessons, because school should be coordinated with the outside world as much as possible.
