Writing a Modern Teaching Philosophy, From Paradigms to Paragraphs: Use topics in philosophy to help you explain your teaching life.
Course Description
We will work through philosophy with an eye on writing our teaching philosophy statements. You will view the history of philosophical thought pertaining to education, from perennialism through connectivism. By the time we finish, you will be ready to write a comprehensive teaching philosophy, and you will be able to support your ideas with evidence from the past as well as specific examples of what your teaching philosophy looks like when it is operationalized in a real classroom. At the end of the course, you will be able to get video feedback from me, if you choose to do so!
