Teaching Philosophy: Jennifer Davis
Teaching Philosophy

I believe every child has the ability and potential to learn, grow, and succeed given the right environment, support, and opportunity. Teaching is my vocation and my duty an invitation to care for children holistically, academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. As an educator, I have the privilege of leading children on a learning journey and creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging environment where students feel valued, respected, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

          Learning occurs best when teaching is intentional, developmentally appropriate, and tailored to each child’s needs. Children arrive at school with different strengths, backgrounds, interests, and learning styles, and as a teacher, it is my job to meet them where they are and build upon what they know and can do. I differentiate instruction, use hands-on learning, visual supports, modeling, and repetition to support all children’s access to the curriculum, and promote independence and student ownership of learning by releasing responsibility.

          At the core of my teaching practice is the importance of positive relationships. Children learn best when they feel safe, supported, and valued. When they trust and respect their teachers, they are more likely to take risks, ask questions, and persevere in the face of challenges. As an educator, I aim to create a classroom culture grounded in trust, empathy, consistency, and high expectations. I implement clear routines and procedures, model appropriate behavior, and use positive reinforcement to foster students’ self-regulation skills, social development, and confidence.

          In addition to academics, as educators we play a vital role in shaping children’s character, moral development, and values. I believe in leading by example showing patience, kindness, integrity, respect, and responsibility in all my interactions. I want to help students become curious, compassionate, responsible citizens who make positive choices both in and out of the classroom.

          Building strong school-home connections is key to effective education. I value open, honest communication with families and work collaboratively to support each child’s unique needs. By partnering with parents and caregivers, I help ensure that learning is reinforced, consistent, and meaningful both in and outside of school.

          In summary, my teaching philosophy is centered around creating an environment where children feel capable, encouraged, and inspired to discover their strengths and abilities. I am committed to ongoing professional growth as an educator, reflecting on my practice, seeking opportunities for professional development, and adapting my instruction to better meet my students’ needs. I find joy and fulfillment in witnessing children develop a love of learning and confidence in themselves, knowing that I have had a hand in building their future.

Teaching Experience: Jennifer Davis
Field Experience Summary.

As a part of my field experience, I had the opportunity to work with early childhood students during my practicum and edTPA learning segment. I focused on one learner who has strong receptive comprehension and visual memory, but a limited expressive vocabulary, fine motor delays, and attention difficulties. I implemented structured literacy lessons following Early Childhood standards and the IEP goals of my target learner throughout the learning segment.

The Edmark Reading Program sequence of Modeling, Guided Practice, Independent Identification, and Independent Use provided an effective framework to teach high frequency sight words (horse, a, car, yellow, see) to my learner. Multisensory, highly visual instruction was delivered using large and small word cards, picture cues, tracing, and methods for the learner to respond (speech/sign/gestures). Lessons were broken down into small increments to support attention, and immediate praise and sensory breaks were provided as needed.

Overall, I noticed significant improvement in my learner’s academic and behavioral performance throughout the learning segment. Sight-word accuracy increased from 70% to 90–100% with support. The learner was more engaged, had stronger word-to-picture matching, and demonstrated emerging independence in identifying familiar sight words. Implementing feedback through behavior-specific praise, corrective modeling, and simplified directions was an effective approach for improving confidence and accuracy. I was also intentional in generalizing sight words to other activities like story time, environmental print, and daily routines.

In my field experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of differentiated instruction, visual and verbal supports, and the need for structure, routine, and clear expectations when working with young learners. I became more comfortable with adapting lessons based on data, responding to attention and sensory needs, and aligning instruction with IEP goals. Overall, this practicum experience increased my confidence as an educator and reinforced my commitment to creating inclusive, supportive, and engaging learning environments for all children.

Assessment: “Process of monitoring, measuring, evaluating, documenting, reflecting on, and adjusting teaching and relearning to ensure that learners reach high levels of Achievement 

Contemporary Tools: Electronic/digital record-keeping tools such as an online gradebook and progress monitoring systems, spreadsheet software, etc. 

Cooperating Teachers: (Also known as “mentor teachers”) Teachers in schools who mentor and supervise student teachers in their classrooms for the duration of a student teaching and/or field experience. 

Critical Thinking: Refers to the “kind of thinking involved in problem solving” and includes an ability to “examine assumptions, discern hidden values, evaluate evidence, and assesses conclusions.” 

Culturally Relevant: Incorporating the tenets of culturally relevant/responsive teaching (i.e., “teachers create a bridge between students’ home and school lives, while still meeting the expectations of the district and state curricular requirements. Culturally relevant teaching utilizes the backgrounds, knowledge, and experiences of the students to inform the teacher’s lessons and methodology.”). 

Data-informed decisions: “Focuses on using student assessment data and relevant background information to inform decisions related to planning and implementing instructional strategies at the district, school, classroom, and individual student levels.” 

Developmental Theory (General): Theories that describe the stages of development of children/adolescents (e.g., Erikson’s Theory of Psychosocial Development, Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development, Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory, Behavioral Theories, and Sociocultural Theories). 

Developmental Theory (Content-Specific): Content-specific teaching that organizes activities and learning tasks to help learners move from one level to the next. 

Diagnostic Assessment: (Also known as “pre-assessment”) “Involves the gathering and careful evaluation of detailed data using students’ knowledge and skills in a given learning area.” 

Differentiation of Instruction: “To respond to variance among learners” (e.g., learners with exceptional needs and second language learners) by modifying “content, and/or process, and/or products, and/or the learning environment” according to learners’ “readiness, interest, or learning profile.” 

https://www.livetext.com/doc/11846176?print=1 1/9

6/11/24, 2:37 PM CPAST MID-TERM 11-22 

Digital Tools: Technologies that enable learners to engage with the teacher and/or content on an individual level. Examples: SMART Boards, learner response systems (i.e., clickers), and computers, tablets, etc. 

Evidence: Artifacts that document and demonstrate how [the student teacher] planned and implemented instruction 

Feedback: “Information communicated to the learner that is intended to modify the learner’s thinking or behavior for the purpose of improving learning.” 

Formative Assessment: “Assessment used continuously throughout learning and teaching, allowing teachers to adjust instruction to 1 

improve learner achievement.” 

Fosters: To promote the growth or development of, encourage. 

Funds of Knowledge: “Historically accumulated and culturally developed bodies of knowledge and skills essential for household or individual functioning and well-being.” 

Goals: See definition for “Measurable Goals.” 

Learner: Any P12 student in the student teacher’s classroom. 

Learning Environment: Any setting where learning occurs. The term may refer to the physical environment (e.g., the classroom), as well as the classroom management procedures and activities that enable teaching and learning to take place. 

“Look Fors” Document: A document accompanying this form containing a non-exhaustive list to describe examples of the qualities and behaviors a student teacher is expected to demonstrate for a given level of performance. 

Measurable Goals: “Provides information for describing, assessing, and evaluating student achievement.” Mentor Teachers: See definition for “Cooperating Teachers.” 

Objectives/Targets: P12 student (learner) learning outcomes to be achieved by the end of the lesson or learning segment. 

Problem Solving: A mental process that involves discovering, analyzing, and solving problems. The ultimate goal of problem-solving is to overcome obstacles and find a solution that best resolves the issue. 

Program Coordinator: Faculty or staff member from a college or university who coordinates/manages the administrative components of a teacher educator licensure program. 

Research: "The use of rigorous, systematic, and objective methodologies to obtain reliable and valid knowledge."
