PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION
as a Grade School Teacher

I believe that every child

 has a natural interest in learning and is capable of learning
 is an embodied spirit
 can be influenced but not totally by his/her environment
 is unique, so comparing a child to other children has no
basis
 does not have an empty mind, rather is full of ideas and it
is my task to draw out these ideas.

THE TEACHING PROFESSION 12

 Teacher Macrina
I believe that my task as a teacher is to facilitate the
development of every child to the optimum and to the
maximum by:

 reaching out to all children without bias and prejudice

towards the “least” of the children

 making every child feel good and confident about

himself/herself through his/her experiences of success in
the classroom

THE TEACHING PROFESSION 13

It is important that you make explicit
your philosophy of education. Your
philosophy is your own thought and
formulation, never formulated for you
by the other.
THANK YOU!
