Introduction to my artifacts These artifacts were chosen from my file to present works that I am proud of and I admire, through my career as a teacher. During my teaching, I have experienced many situations that frequently encourages me to develop my methods, attitudes and skills in teaching. These artifacts are considered some of my masterpiece work. They reflect the on-job training and the improvements I think is beneficial to my class and school. They show how important to consider teaching a personal value that the teacher should enjoy whatever setbacks he may face in his class or school.

//ARTIFACT ONE// **My philosophy of Teaching**

 ** My philosophy of teaching ** 

 As a teacher, I believe that personal beliefs about teaching and dealing with students are valuable in my teaching. I find the philosophies of improving teaching and reconstructing education from my fundamental beliefs.  To go further, teaching is regarded as one of the great professions for all the humans. Teachers can build up great generations that will benefit their communities. Some communities give teachers great interests and do their best to satisfy teachers and to encourage them to give more experiences that are useful to their students. Other communities still consider the teacher's matter far away from their priorities. As a result, teachers and students in such communities are suffering and could not be innovative. From this point, I hope that teaching should be responsibility for individuals to give and encourage for the success of their students rather than waiting for the improvements in the circumstances of the communities.  My philosophy of teaching is that the student should be in the core of the educational process. My job as a teacher should be a guide and a facilitator in the classroom than a transferor or lecturer. Curriculum and activities need to be modified to explore students and respect student differences. Students should practice critical thinking and reflect about the community outside their classroom. The teacher should work on recognizing his students' abilities then stimulating them to learn and depend on themselves to develop their learning.   My philosophy of teaching may disagree with the teacher-centered methods because in creating generations, there is no need to a stereotype model for most of the students to follow. In a changeable world full of contradictions we need to create generations can easily cope with these changes and affect on them. The student will participate in improvements and developments with his own potential abilities. From his early years in schools, I connect my students with problems and developments toward their country or the world to implant the critical thinking in their minds and to express their views in different issues.  My philosophy has been shaped by experiences within my own life, education, career in working with people and my study in the United Kingdom as one of the greatest systems in education. I am really influenced by Tim Brighouse and David Woods in 'How to improve your school', and 'What makes a good school NOW?, also The jigsaw of a successful school. I enjoy Michael Fulan's, Alma Harris' and Patrick Whitaker's ideas about educational change and school reform. My interest is in the role of leadership and management in teaching.   Finally, my philosophy in teaching is generally concentrated on the student and the school reform in leadership and management to reinforce a successful and effective learning to the students. My objective for my students is to help them reach their potentials and satisfy with their abilities to pave their own way in life.

I got this certificate from the Unitied Kingdom 2010. During my study for this Diploma, I have gained many experiences that reinforced my teaching skills. I did many work and readings to present essays about "Leadership and Managment", "Creating good effective school", "doing a research proposal", and some other projects and presentations to improve students' learning. Furthermore, I greatly benefit from my stay in Britain through dealing with other native speakers of English and from their ways in life. I made use of my stay to visit schools and saw how they improved their educational process. Traveling abroad gives the person many benefits but traveling and studying in a developed country gives me more than I expected that will influence in my teaching, specially the recommendation letter which I included here. This letter made me explore myself more as a teacher, and made me know in what way I am going in my career.

 * ''Time for change" is a project I presented, with my group, in 2009. This project got the best grade and we were honored by Heliopolois Institution. In spite of the success and admiration for this project, I could not imply it within my school. This project aimed to encourage the students from their early ages to be familiar with the scientific and critical thinking. **
 * <span style="color: #1b6941; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">I was very happy to lead my team to great success through inspiring them to believe in change and its importance to make effective learning. I hope one day this project will be implied at schools. **

This photo was taken in Paris on a trip. This photo was in the Louvre museum. I suggest from my experience that museum trips are so important for the student to be in touch during their study. I saw grade-one-children doing museum visits regularly and drew next to the statues or mummies. Of course, student will enjoy more from learning history in museum trips rather than from books. My visits to great Museums in Paris and London encouraged me to help my students in Egypt to benefit from museum visits and to do projects inside galleries in order to make them feel that learning enjoyable.
