Critical realism allows teachers to challenge students by asking them questions about taken-for-granted assumptions and topics (Benedicto, 2005). When a teacher uses the education philosophy of realism they are implementing that their teachings are certain and have a clear objective. I believe that for a child to learn to their best ability that they must be given a clear schedule and must also be told exactly what is expected of them. There should be no hidden factors between a teacher and his/her students and expectations should be specifically addressed. I hope to one day become a great teacher by using many of the educational philosophies and styles of teaching. Realism and progressivism will base my teaching strategies and help me better my students and myself. I aspire to make my classroom feel like a family and want to make everyone feel cared for. I will hold education at a high standard, while also holding my students accountable for their own success. I want to influenced student’s lives and inspire them to be the best they can

    Each person has his or her individual path to follow, no two paths are exactly the same; but, every now and then, paths interweave and people construct bonds with each other. In the case of Sonny and his brother, the narrator, in James Baldwin’s short story, “Sonny’s Blues”, their paths were parallel with one another until they grew up.

Although the narrator and his brother ended up with completely different lives, the narrator being a family man with a teaching job and Sonny, an ex-convict playing jazz at a club, are ironically more similar than they are portrayed.…

    Essentialism created by William Bagley is very popular in schools today. It is closely related to perennialism which focuses on the same idea of teaching students to think rigorously but learning through reading Great Books. Progressivism starts to shift into the student-centered philosophies in which these teachers believe that kids learn through real-world experience. They prefer field trips and group projects much like the social reconstructionist. Existentialism allows students to be almost completely in charge of what they are learning.…
