Philosophy of Teaching

Your teaching style is directly related to your philosophy of what it means to know and learn. The rationale for making particular teaching choices becomes more apparent when you reflect on what you believe about teaching and learning. Much of what you believe comes from your own experiences as a student, the images of teaching you hold, and your experiences as a teacher.

Consider your experiences as a student and any experience of teaching that you may have had. Construct a 500-750 word philosophy of teaching that incorporates the learning paradigms and learning theories you identify with the most. Remember that this is a philosophy of teaching that is applicable in higher education, one that a search committee would likely be reading when you apply to be a faculty member at their institution.

Support your findings with 3-4 scholarly resources.
