What are my core values and how will they guide me in my teaching practice? How are these values part of my identity. How does my race, ethnicity, background, life experences, and identity, influence my philosophy of education?
At my core I believe that people should be treated fairly and we should all live and let live. In my teaching practices this may be a hinderence because you are expected, in some cases,to almost teach kids about life and infer what they should embrace in the American culture, and what to ignore. At home they may not have much guidance and that is something that I'm not comfortable with, but I will be expecting. In my teaching practice, I will try to not impose anything about my beliefs and social expectancies on them, but it seems unlikely, that will happen, because, I'll be working so closely with them. On the other hand I don't think I have a right to impose my beliefs on them. Live and let live. Time will tell.
My race, ethnicity, and background as well as life experiences will absolutely influence my philosophy of education. I am at the age where I have definate expectations of how people should act in school and how my classroom culture will look. I haven't had enough experience yet to decide what kind of philosophy I have in the classroom. That remains to be seen as well. I hope to have a clear vision of exactly what philosophy I do have about teaching by the time this class is over.
