Philosophy of education

My Philosophy of Education I believe that education is a lifelong process. All children deserve high-quality education. It is during the early years that the foundation for academic success is laid. Learning involves every sense of the child, all domains in which children learn and function, and all surrounding aspects. Because of this it is my goal to provide a learning environment that will stimulate and enrich each one of my students and lay the foundation for academic success. I will focus…

McKenna Strolberg EDCIFS 201 Philosophy of ED I believe that most of my beliefs and ideas for education come from my chosen subject of study. My passion for history shapes how I see the education system and how I think my classroom should be. In my time on this planet and my time studying history I have seen that there is vast inequalities in life. The treatment of many groups and people in the USA, like Native Americans, African Americans, Japanese Americans, Chinese, and so many that I could…

A Personal Philosophy of Education Education is the foundation of society. It will take place in the home, in the school, and in the community. People educate based on what they believe, and what they believe is formed through their experiences. Having taught for a quarter of a century, my education is still ongoing; teaching is a craft to be honed throughout the course of a lifetime. As the country and the world wrestle with new ideas, the means and methods of education will change, but the…

What is the purpose of education? Is it to retain knowledge or to prepare for an occupation? Is it to discover who you are or to improve society? Since I plan to become an educator, I have struggled through these questions in order to form my personal philosophy of education. After examining the philosophies of Existentialism, Essentialism, Constructivism, Perennialism, and Progressivism, I chose to adopt Progressivism as my primary position for my personal viewpoint. As a music teacher, my goal…

I have always aspired to be a special education teacher. Being able to help students with exceptionalities follow their life-long dream is what I want to do. With being a special education teacher, there are a lot of requirements and responsibilities that we have to follow so that our students are receiving the best education. There are a lot of standards and principles that special educators are committed to and I have picked three that are important to me and that I want to follow. First is…

My philosophy of progressivism in education has been shaped by my experiences within education. Through all of my education, I have maintained a positive outlook due to these experiences. These experiences were beneficial and positive as a student, and demonstrate progressivistic views of education, so due to this my philosophy of education has been shaped to be progressivism. The first example is in 4th grade, we covered the topic of owl pellets in a science lesson. After our teacher provided…

Philosophy of Education To me, teaching is love in action. Saint Therese of Lisieux wrote: “Kindness is my only guiding star. In its light I sail a straight route. I have my motto written on my sail: To live in love” (10). I believe that teachers need to exemplify deep, selfless love to push through the difficulties that accompany such a demanding profession. Teaching can be exhausting, frustrating, and complicated. However, by focusing on love, teachers can master any challenge. Being a…

Nelson Mandela (2003) has been famously quoted, saying “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” As a teacher, the goal is to help students change the world, or at least change their world. That goal can seem overwhelming, especially considering the number of students most teachers work with throughout their career. As I start my journey to become a Special Education and English as a Second Language teacher, I am striving to discover who I am as a teacher and…

My ideal philosophy for education My philosophy regarding Education is that it creates possibilities, opportunities and freedom. In my view, education is the epitome of life. At its heart, getting educated means getting to be empowered to embrace future exercises in life: meeting new people, making connections, taking joy in specific sorts of experience, planning activities and having the capacity to finish them effectively. The ancient refinement between 'opportunity from' and 'opportunity to'…

Philosophy of Education Defining a teaching philosophy six weeks into my formal teacher training is a tricky thing. I feel as if every time I turn around, I see something new and shiny to play with and explore. I am sure, ten years from now, I will look back on this and laugh lovingly at my naïve views and ten years after that, laugh again, maybe for different reasons. Hopefully, in the following decade, I’ll retire. However, in order to start, I need to know where I am going in the first…
