DUE Monday, Sept. 26
The philosophy document is a required key assessment for this course. It is worth 25
points and must be uploaded to your e-portfolio by 12/5 (last day of class).
It will be graded according to the following criteria:
Paragraph of introduction: You may start with a quote or a personal 4 points
motto that helps you identify as an educator, or you may just write an
encompassing introductory paragraph encapsulating the thoughts and
ideas that will follow.
Paragraph of philosophic orientation(s) to which you ascribe: This is 6 points
one (or more) of the five major philosophies discussed in class. You should
give a brief description of it and how it would be put into practice in your
classroom.
Paragraph about a teaching philosophy (or two) that you will utilize in 6 points
your classroom: These were the people and theories briefly researched by
you and compiled for your use. (Tomlinson, Bloom, Gardner, Marzano…).
You should give a brief description of the theory(ies) and/or theorist(s)

and how you will you use them in your specific content area/grade levels.
Paragraph about classroom/behavior management: This topic was 6 points
discussed in class and through your readings (May & Edmond text plus
additional readings). You should provide a basis for your ideas and
examples. A name of a behaviorist is optional—not all of what we
read/discussed was attributed to a particular person.
Paragraph of conclusion: this should be a paragraph to restate the points 3 points
of your philosophy and provide appropriate closure.
Keep your paper concise. This will be an important part of your e-portfolio that you will
want people to read. Do not make it too long, wordy, or repetitive. Shorter is better, but be
sure to use complete thoughts and address all areas discussed above.
A ½ point will be deducted for each typo, spelling, or grammatical error.
