Your philosophy will also come from your experiences in the classroom, either as a student, as a leader or as an observer and what you’ve learned from other classes.  

Put these all together and write a 1-2 page paper (1.5 spacing; 11 font; 1 inch margins) on your philosophy of teaching.

Think about the following questions:

What is the purpose of education? 

What is the teacher’s role in the classroom?

What is the student’s role in the classroom and in his/her education?

What should a classroom environment look like?

How do you view students and their varied approaches to learning?

How do your views on diversity (ethnicity, academically, ability, social class, gender, or language) impact your philosophy of teaching?
