My Character Education Philosophy Part I: Professional Philosophy of Character Education Our educational philosophy is governed by the image we have of a human person. I believe that human beings are fundamentally spiritual, with souls that need nurturing. Beauty, truth and goodness, give the spirit a realm in which to move, to be itself, and have validity; they are the virtues that protect the soul from pain and suffering. Moral education – the study of what is good - is therefore, the…

School is a weird place. I say that because if anyone has attended a public school in Mexico, it is a mess. So, the transition to an American school was vastly different that changed my whole perspectives on the purpose of teaching. I soon came to realize that a teacher is immersed in knowledge and passion in their subject matter, they are also aware that they are not only teaching, but touching and affecting their students’ lives, and opening whole new views and appreciations to what is taught.…

Final Project - Philosophy of Christian Education The Christian worldview of Christian education is the total involvement of Christian education to bring about the change in the moral standard of norms in society. The participation of individuals working alongside the government to help shape a better more productive society. This involvement means participating in the mainstream of government function. This could mean as employee, voter participation, volunteering for campaigning for…

Fitness education is the promotion of general activities such as walking the dog, playing sports and going on a bike ride, as well as promoting exercise that will facilitate a healthy lifestyle. (Virgilio, 2012) By promoting exercise, and activities that your students can participate in, you are striving to reach the goal as a physical educator is to make physical activity a part of their daily routine. By doing this students are being shown what it like feels to be physically active, and how…

Education has always been my top priority, but what I don 't comprehend is - why is it? Most people view attending school and studying is mandatory, but I disagree. I usually spend all of my spare time, and even if it 's for one assignment, indulge myself for possibly six-eight hours a day and study in my room. I had a choice from the very beginning - to do the work or to fail, but that question already seems rhetorical as it is. I choose to work hard, not because I had to, but because I believe…

music education. A good performance evokes emotions. Music exists to evoke emotions. That is why a piece will be written in a minor key to create a dark, sad tone to make the listener feel down. A major key would create a happy jovial mood; all emotions created from music. This is only possible to know with a music education. Music can create connections if people understand music in-depth. Music is a powerful tool in the world. The foundation…

My Character Education Philosophy Lauren A. Vader Concordia University Abstract In the first part of this paper, I discuss how one’s image of human persons determines their educational philosophy. As I view human persons as essentially spiritual, my character education philosophy tends toward focusing on the nurturing of the soul through the transcendent ideas of truth, beauty and goodness, with a special emphasis on empathy and perspective taking. Of the three aspects of…

Our values are service, honesty, respect, stewardship and performance. I believe that I incorporate our five values through nursing on a daily basis…

NaaBorle Sackeyfio My Philosophy Teachers are here to facilitate learning by creating a safe and healthy, nonjudgmental, enriching classroom that encourages positive cognitive, physical and social-emotional development. The basis of my philosophy is derived from Piaget’s constructivism, Waldorf education, emotional responsive approach and best practices in child care. Children learn best in environments that are designed for exploration, creativity, openness and self-expression. The balance…

I have taken quite a few of mind-opening classes. I had a general idea of what I was getting myself into when I signed up for this course. I had a rough idea of what Philosophy was and I expected this class to expand upon what I already knew and give me a glimpse of just how much more there was outside my grasp. For the most part, I was correct. But, just how it always goes, everything happened in a way drastically different than how I imagined. This was one of the most free-flowing, open,…
