1.Philosophyofeducationstatement

that into your philosophy statement. Note each point starts with a general thought and then a personal
statement.

What do you think is (are) the larger goals of education for society? What is (are) your overall goal(s) in
your classroom

Answer: The larger goals of education for society is teach students how to fully think and make decisions on
their own. Personally, I want to teach children how to love and respect one another as people. I believe in
teaching a kid how to effectively establish a positive relationship with another person as well as the content
I am teaching.

Answer: Loving, Respectful and Respected, Humble, Accountable, Loyal. I am respectful, strong willed,
and loving.

How do you believe children learn the best? What knowledge and experiences support your ideas about

Answer: I believe children learn the best when they believe the teacher cares more about the student than
the content. I see my CI do this every day, and I know for a fact that the students are learning.

4. Expert advice: Which classroom management/behavior expert or experts do you agree with and briefly
describe how you have and will incorporate their ideas in your classroom. You can choose style drawn from more
than 1 expert.

Answer: Personally, I am really into Kagan and his many structures. I especially love his grouping method, and
we use it in our classroom now. I believe placing a high performing kid with 2 average kids and a low kid allows
for leadership roles for the high performing student as well as place the low students in a positive situation to
learn from their peers.
