MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
Curriculum development is anchored on a very solid foundation. Although considered to be a
new discipline, its significance in the in the light global developments has now been acknowledged. It
is considered as a cooperative endeavour for change but school and society must work together for it.
I learned that there are foundations in every planned curriculum. These foundations have greatly
helped the curriculum to become effective to all learners and teachers. And there are people behind
these foundations who were great contributors of the curriculum development.
I realized that before implementing a curriculum we really need to plan it properly by learning
the foundations of curriculum. We should build a curriculum that will cater the needs and interest of
the learners. Learners should be the centre in the teaching-learning process.
4. Complete each sentence (1 to 2 sentences only)
I believe that education is an individual, unique and meaningful
experience of every student. It is important It leads to a better
life, a better career. It helps build better character and makes
people complete.
