As an educator in the 21st century, my teaching philosophy is focused around the student. It is vital for students to integrate their community within the classroom, encourage and support differences between their peers and include the those who are a minority of the classroom. Students learning should be a hands on experience which allows them to address social injustices, questions their learning and challenge the norms. This form of education will ensure students to become active and democratic citizens of society.
As I question my own learnings and conduct research on my inquiry my philosophy is changing as I am still learning.
It is so important, as you have mentioned, to allow for an ebb and flow in your philosophy of education. You will likely, as an educator, add to the one your currently have or even create a new one with a different focus that has become more important to you as you continue your career..
