Philosophy of Education:
My personal philosophy as a teacher educator is seated in the seven standards
promoted by The Association of Teacher Educators:
Ø To model professional teaching practices that demonstrate knowledge,
skills, and attitudes reflecting the best available practices in teacher
education,
Ø To inquire into and contribute to one or more areas of scholarly activity
that are related to teaching, learning, and/or teacher education,
Ø To inquire systematically into, and reflect on, their own practice and
demonstrate commitment to lifelong professional development,
Ø To provide leadership in developing, implementing, and evaluating
programs for educating teachers that embrace diversity, and are rigorous,
relevant, and grounded in accepted theory, research, and best practice,
Ø To collaborate regularly and in significant ways with representatives of
schools, universities, state education agencies, professional associations,
and communities to improve teaching, learning, and teacher education,
Ø To serve as informed, constructively critical advocates for high-quality
education for all students, public understanding of educational issues, and
excellence and diversity in the teaching and teacher education
professions, and
Ø To contribute to improving the teacher education profession.
