Teaching Philosophy

Hello! I'm Ashley Deck and I am currently a sophomore at Ohio University.  I am majoring in Early Childhood Education, hopefully getting a job in a preschool classroom after graduation.  This blog and all of the posts are for my EDCT 2030 class that I am currently taking.

My beliefs as an educator that uses technology for improving student learning...

1. The role of a teacher is to promote and challenge your students socially, emotionally, and intellectually inside and outside of the classroom.  
2. That students are capable to achieve more than they think that they can as long as they put their mind to it.
3. That community members and parents should be actively involved in the students lives.  Parent involvement plays a huge part in a successful education.  Parents can also help children by allowing them access to educational apps or websites at home. 
4. That knowledge is more accessible now than it every has been before.  Everyone can get a question answered at the click of a button and  this can be vital to helping students.
