Before you can develop and prepare a teaching philosophy, you need to understand why it is important, what it means to prepare one and what it might look like. Teaching philosophy statements may be written or prepared as audio visual presentations or videos. Even though a philosophy is personal and unique to each teacher, it will contain particular components, depending on the theoretical approach you decide to take.
Emilia is exploring some resources in preparation for writing her teaching philosophy statement. She found Susan Yager's (2013) video Writing a Teaching Philosophy Statement a very useful starting point.
Emilia has also discovered Writing a Philosophy of Teaching Statement which describes the purpose and some tips on how to do it. The article also contains a list of examples (Humanities, Sciences and Social Sciences). To decide on the components to include in her teaching philosophy, Emilia reads: Guidance on Writing a Philosophy of Teaching Statement. |
