Educational philosophy

• What do you see is the grander purpose of education in a society and community?
• What, specifically, is the role of the teacher in the classroom?
• How do you believe students learn best?
• In general, what are you goals for your students?
• What qualities do you believe an effective teacher should have?
• Do you believe that all students can learn?
• What do teachers owe their students?

Your educational philosophy can guide your discussions in job interviews, be placed in a teaching portfolio, and even be communicated to students and their parents.
