ABSTRACT: The teaching learning journey is a dynamic, continuous and challenging
process. It is beyond the boundaries to what we learn in schools in our initial
years of life. We learn from our environment, positive
and negative past experiences, and from the people with whom we interact. It is
the teacher who brings an enormous impact on shaping the personality of
the learners. Every classroom presents a unique community of learners that vary
not only in abilities, but also in learning styles. It is the teacher who
provides students with the necessary tools to develop their knowledge and
skills and facilitates them to think critically. In addition, when the positive
learning atmosphere is coupled with innovative teaching and learning
strategies, creates environment conducive for critical and lifelong learning. This
paper will highlight on my teaching philosophy under diverse spheres of
student, teachers, teaching and learning cycle and the learning environment,
and how combined phenomena can foster lifelong learning among learners.
