A teaching philosophy is a public statement that a teacher makes about his/her intended aims and goals, and above all, how s/he views pupils, the teaching and learning process and lastly his/her own role in an educational context.
The sad thing is that not all teachers keep such a public statement where it is visible for all to see. Worse still, some teachers might not even have a public statement that outlines their teaching philosophy!
We therefore need to ask the question: As a student teacher, can you reply to this blog post and make your own personal teaching philosophy public? Indeed, what are your views about a personal teaching philosophy?
