 * As a future teacher, you will be asked about your philosophy of teaching. A Philosophy of Teaching is a personal statement about your thoughts, views and values as they relate to teaching. Your Philosophy of Teaching will give others insight into why teaching is important to you. Think about the following questions as you formulate your philosophy of teaching. You don't need to directly answer each one in your essay, but you should be able to create a coherent sequence of ideas by thinking of these teacher related questions.
 * A great Philosophy of Teaching may assist in getting you hired, a poorly written and badly thought out Philosophy of Teaching could cause you not to be hired.
 * ** Why do you want to teach? **
 * ** What characteristics make a teacher effective? **
 * ** How do students learn? **
 * ** What is an ideal classroom? **
 * ** What should the relationship between a teacher and student be? **
 * ** What motivates students to learn? **
 * ** What should be the primary goal of a teacher? **
 * ** Who is the best teacher you have ever known? What made him or her so special? **
 * ** What is the most important role of a teacher? **
 * Read pages 49-55 in **//Teaching//** for some good insight into why a portfolio is important and why your philosophy of teaching is a big part of your portfolio.
 * You are required to write a one page double spaced essay on your Philosophy of Teaching. This is a major grade. See attachment.
