Book excerpt: I am delighted to write this book because teachers play a very vital and important role in our life. A good teacher helps us to become good human beings and citizens in our society and the country as a whole. Teachers know that students are the future of any nation so the future development of any nation is in the hands of teachers.There is a core belief behind every educator which is teachers are known to be simply amazing. Teachers inspire people because they impact knowledge and add value to their students' lives and overall, these individuals understand the sacrifice and dedication one must make in order to be successful in the lives they touch.The most common role a teacher plays in the classroom is to teach knowledge to children and let us always have it in the back of our minds that it is only "In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn." The most important role of a teacher is to deliver classroom instruction that helps students by ensuring that students experience academic success and through functioning as surrogate parents, mentors and counsellors, and even almost-politicians since there is almost no limit to the roles a teacher will play. Teachers teach in many ways including lectures, small group activities and hands-on learning activities. Therefore, to achieve all this, there must be some laid down principles that must be followed in order to fully impact the students positively and overall achieve growth and development in the education industry. A typical practice for instructors is to build up a showing logic which causes them to become intelligent specialists all through time on different educating and learning methodologies. A teaching philosophy statement is a narrative that includes your conception of teaching and learning, a description of how you teach and justification for why you teach in a particular way. In other words, your teaching philosophy is a self-reflective statement of your beliefs about teaching and learning. It is a one to two page narrative, which conveys your core ideas about being an effective teacher in the context of your discipline. The thrust of the paper is to critically analyse what is teaching philosophy and its importance to teachers and the educational sector as a whole. This book will help starting and experienced instructors to improve their teaching abilities by building methods, insight and a formative procedure concentrated on the upgrade for learning. According to Aristotle, "Those who know do, while those that understand teach." I also firmly believe that the most vital and important thing in the world is teaching because the best thing a person can achieve in life is to learn something because it is virtually the only thing which the mind can never overlook, never use up completely, never feel isolated or estranged and will never let you down. This is why Teaching Philosophy is very important to teachers because it enables them to understand the scope and limits of empirical research in education and the relationships between that research and conceptual issues in education thereby making them view and analyse from the perspective of their students. Finally, apart from understanding why students are behaving in a particular way, with Teaching Philosophy teachers would also be able to know how students perceive their actions. As a model in teaching in High school, Colleges or Universities, this book peels back the layers of those conceptual issues in teaching worlds and reveals many surprising findings that will impact you positively because this book has it all."If you have found this book useful, please consider leaving a short review on Amazon."
