curriculum and teaching methods. It also presents

developing each child’s potential. Additionally, the

for children.

PHILOSOPHY OF
EDUCATION
Philosophy is vital only when the

towards answers.

8. MY PHILOSOPHY AS A
GRADE SCHOOL TEACHER
“I believe that there are unchanging
values in changing times and these
must be passed on to every child be
my modeling, value inculcation and
value integration in my lessons.”

9. MY PHILOSOPHY AS A GRADE
SCHOOL TEACHER
I believe that my task as a teacher is to facilitate the
development of every child to the optimum and to the
maximum by:
Reaching out to all children without bias and
prejudice towards the “ least” of the children
Making every child feel good and confident about
him/herself through his/her experience of success
in the classroom.

10. Helping every child master the basic skills of
reading, communicating in oral and written form,
arithmetic and computer skills.
Teaching my subject matter with mastery so that
every child will use his/her basic skills to continue
acquiring knowledge, skills and values for him/her to
go beyond basic literacy and basic numeracy.

11. Inculcating or integrating the unchanging values of
respect, honesty, love and care for others regardless of
race, ethnicity, nationality, appearance and economic
status in my lessons.
Consistently practicing these values to serve as model
for every child.

12. Strengthening practicing these values to serve as
model for every child through. “hands-on-minds-on”
experiences inside and outside the classroom.
Providing every child activities meant to develop
the body, the mind and the spirit.

13. MY PHILOSOPHY AS A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER
(by: Minho Shin)
I teach for the majority of the class, rather than
teach for handful top students. It is more
effective and productive way of teaching.
I teach with interactions between teacher and
students and also between students
themselves. Interaction is the only tangible way
of making the class intimate, open, creative and
challenging.

14. It is important that you make explicit your philosophy of education. Your
philosophy of education is your “ window” to the world and “compass” in
life. Your philosophy is your own thought and formulation, never
formulated for you by another that is why you were advised to begin
stating it with phrase “I believe”. It is best to state it in the concrete not in
the abstract like a theory because this is your blue print to daily life.
