Hi everybody,
I will try to attach the 1st draft of my philosophy of education. If it isn't attached to the end of this blog, that means I was unsuccessful in that attempt. I can't get on to blackboard from home, so I have to go to cnm to do some of my work. I did go in today and write a 1st or rough draft. I will try to post it on here. If not tonight I might re-write it on here tomorrow if time permits.
Do my beliefs on the role of education in society make sense in the context of my social vision?
This is my opening:
I have been socialized to believe that life is good, most people are good and children can learn anything if given enough and correct instruction. I realize that people start out at different levels and some have a lot more to start out with than others, but all can learn. Sometime the teacher has to makeup or compensate for inequities of some, but it can be done. I don't believe you're on one track whole life, I believe you can change and pursue another track if you like. Some of my values are that children are our future they should be important to us as our future. I believe you have to keep on trying if you want to succeed. You have to keep on trying to become the person you want to be. My background is a testament to that. As I dropped out of high school at a young age to have my children,then went back, then went back again, finally getting my bachelors degree at 50 years old.I keep taking classes to update and improve my knowledge. I think it's very important in an attempt not to get too set in your ways and get behind on current trends or principles. I think if something doesn't go right the first time, back up, adjust, and try again. It has been my experience that people sometimes give up too easily, and teachers, sometimes give up on their students too quickly. I do not plan to be one of those teachers.
I have more, like some of Erickson's theories, and Kohlberg, but don't want to re write it here and then write on it all day tomorrow. Tell me what you think of my opening paragraphs.
