Educational Philosophy

Educational Philosophy Blog

I think that Educational philosophy for teachers and students is a relationship and with all relationship there will be some problems and some rewards in teaching. Each of us who are learning to become teachers or already teachers has to remember that each student is different and what may work for one might not work for another.
You can ask any teachers that yes there are challenges when teaching. However, the rewards out way anything that could be challenge. A good example of this http://thereflectiveteacher.wordpress.com/2006/06/07/statement-of-educational-philosophy/ in the right column Inspirational Teaching. The blog is called Romeo, Juliet, and the reason why.
Educators are role models, even though we made not think it is up us to maintain an atmosphere where children who come into our class feel comfortable and confident.
In this week, we learned about different types of educational Philosophy at first I would admit I was overwhelmed with all the information that was out there to learn from doing our researched. The one thing that stuck in my mind was the four types of Educational Philosophy.
• PROGRESSIVISM
• "PERENNIALISM
• "ESSENTIALISM
• RECONSTRUCTIONISM
The one that I found to be the best use for me in a classroom would be the Progressivism that is to be is where teachers encourage students by using hands on approach.
I know right now that I will continue to grow as teacher and we as teaches will always continue learn and as we learn our students will grow with us. My educational philosophy will changed as I continue by journey in teaching.
