Teaching Philosophy: Growth and Development

Assessment Description
Reflective practice is crucial in education and becomes the foundation for ongoing growth and development as a professional. By this phase in the student teaching experience, you have analyzed how your teaching performance and practice affect student learning. You now have the opportunity to reflect on how you plan to continue growing in your practice and how to utilize school/district, academic, and personal resources to help you continue to grow as a professional educator.
For this assignment, you will write 500 words describing your role as a teacher candidate who embodies the College of Education’s philosophy to learn, lead, and serve.
Include the following:
• How your teaching philosophy has developed and grown throughout student teaching.
• How technology can be used to create better learning opportunities for all students.
• How you will implement the Christian worldview values of compassion, promoting human flourishing, and behaving legally and ethically in your future classroom. (Feel free to add additional Christian worldview values you would like to integrate, as well.)
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
