Teaching Philosophy

Respecting the people, places, and things around them is of great importance in a theatre

classroom. The positive effects of taking risks is an important theme in my classroom as it can open

doors to new experiences and opportunities. Along with that, students should learn that vulnerability is

valuable. Theatre naturally develops confidence and hones students’ skills through developing a strong

work ethic. Collaboration which is essential in theatre, helps uplift others with the understanding that

everyone has strengths and weaknesses as well as acceptance of those who are different from

themselves. Course projects and assignments will allow students to develop their creativity and

personality and be able to communicate and express themselves appropriately. High expectations and

rigor are paramount, however students are given the resources for success. Noticeable growth on a

personal level is the desired effect on my students.

Without vulnerability and regulated risks on the part of the teacher, students will not be willing

to risk and to learn. This willingness will inspire students and accept those students that may be outliers.

The teacher should show confidence in their teaching, demonstrate a strong work ethic, be patient, and

be a good role model. The teacher should be organized and know where everything is inside of their

classroom. They should also focus on the student as an individual and not just as a student when

preparing and actively teaching. They should prepare the student for the world beyond school, whether

that be a career, job, or college. The teacher as well should be able to demonstrate creativity and their

own personality in the classroom, while nurturing and encouraging others’ creativity and personalities in

the space. The teacher should be approachable and an ally for their students and coworkers as well.

The theatre classroom should incorporate all of the above from the student and teacher. It

should be a place for risks, vulnerability, creativity, positivity, confidence, personality, acceptance, and

growth. Since it is a classroom it should also be a place that is organized and can be worked within in a

functional manner. It should be a positive space and accessible to all. Not only should it show the

presence of the teacher, but the presence of the students, and student-driven learning.
