My personal philosophy begins with my independent personality. Ever since I started school I have been an independent person. As a teacher I want to show students how I will support them, but I also I want them to learn how important independence is. I want to develop students that are able to carry on their successes for the rest of their lives. After learning about all of the different types of philosophy I do not relate to any particular one, but I definitely like to pull aspects from many of them. As for my teaching philosophy, I put together this little saying, “My class will be like learning to ride a bike. I will help them in the beginning, but then once they understand, I will set them up to be able to go on their own ride.” Metaphysics

Primary and secondary schooling is a time when a person grows so much and finds out who they really are. At this time, students start to learn what their philosophies are. I want my class to be a place where students learn many things, but do not feel pressured to think a certain way. At this point, I want parts of my class to be a mix of Progressivism and Essentialism.

Students should be guided to learn the appropriate topics, but also feel comfortable to express themselves. As a Physical Education teacher, I would expose them to a variety of different team sports and teach them why and how the sports impact health.

I definitely think mine will change before I become a teacher and even after I have been one for years. Right now, my beliefs follow parts of Neo-Scholasticism, Pragmatism, Realism, Existentialism, Progressivism, and Essentialism. One day I want to create a classroom full of respect and knowledge, so that my students can learn and find out what they think is reality and truth. I use my philosophy to guide my daily life and influence how I interact with others. A teacher should set students up for success by teaching them to problem solve with knowledge and find their own way to be independent learners. Like I said, “My class will be like learning to ride a bike. I will help them in the beginning, but then once they understand I will set them up to be able to go on their own
