• A formal statement of your philosophy on education and pedagogy (the method and practice of teaching).

​

• Your beliefs about things like:
  • How students learn
  • Classroom management/Discipline
  • Why education matters
  • Student populations
  • Classroom/school community
  • Engaging students
  • What it means to be an educator

Activity

• This was a recent teaching philosophy I wrote for an admin job.

• You are going to read and make note of some of the items that come up.

​

• How do some of these items align with what you know about MA's mission?

​

• We will share out and talk about what we see and what else we might include in this kind of document.
