Personal Philosophy Statement and Vision Board CDE 200
Personal Philosophy Statement and Vision Board CDE 200 Due: December 14, 2023 Personal Philosophy Statement: A teaching philosophy is a “self-reflective statement of your beliefs about teaching and learning.” A philosophy statement helps you to be reflective and intentional in your approaches and to improve your teaching. It outlines what your concept of teaching and learning is, a description of how you teach (or plan to), and justification for why you (will) teach this way.
Typically you will begin by generating ideas about your attitudes, values, and beliefs on teaching and how young children learn.
You will consider-
• Why you want to work with young children.
• Educational and professional preparation
• Theories that have influenced you
• Relationships
• Learning environments
• Curriculum
• Guidance strategies
• Routines
• What makes a good early childhood teacher?
• Where do you draw inspiration from?
• Outcomes and areas for continued growth
Next, you will organize it so that you are illustrating your personal beliefs with specific examples from either classroom experience or personal interactions with children. Using the headings above to organize your content is suggested, however you don’t need to include each one. Overall, your philosophy should be a complete view of your ideas on working with young children.
Current view of the good and ethical life letter
The Good Life
Imagine you could go back in time and give your childhood self a letter in which you explain your current view of the good and ethical life. Write a 3-4 page letter to your childhood self explaining your view of the Good in which you:
Identify at least one philosopher who might agree with your view of the Good. Explain that philosophical ethical theory and discuss how it compares to your own views.
Discuss how another philosopher might disagree. For example, if you discuss deontology in support of your view, utilitarianism might be a good point of contrast. Virtue and care ethics are very similar, but it would be interesting to explore their differences as well.
Support your account of the theories with citations to the textbook and online lectures in correct APA format.
