My Personal Philosophy of Education :: Philosophy of Education

Personal Philosophy of command I would not be considered your typical college student in attempt of an education degree. I am a 31 year sure-enough(a) male, married, with two children, and working(a) on my second passage. My previous life consisted of working in the coal mines till I was injured. My injury, however, is considered a blessing in disguise. My injury has leaded me to the world of education. I have seen first fall in the difference an educator brush aside make in the life of a child the child was my own son. My eldest son, diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome, was un able-bodied to communicate. He had the opportunity to be enrolled in the early intervention program in Raleigh County. The first individual with the challenge of assisting my child was not able to fulfill her roles and think outside of the box to reach him. My wife and I promptly searched for the appropriate educator for him. My family was blessed when we found Ms. Mitzi. In the result of weeks our son was able to tell his mommy he loved her. This impact my life significantly and I wish to be able to bechance on what was given to my child and my family.I chose education as my career path because I hope to be able to make a small difference in a childs life. clipping and time again I have seen children being educated poorly and/or not having appropriate role models in their life. I discover that an educator must not only be able to suffer to the student the classroom material, but also be a counselor, coach, mentor, and a parent. Failing to fulfill these roles gives a child the chance to slip done the educational system without having the opportunity to influence them to some degree. I can not narrow down my educational philosophy to one area. I have studied the teacher-centered philosophies and I would consider myself somewhat eclectic, having a pastiche of progressivism and essentialism. Essentialism is Essent ialism refers to the traditional or Back to the Basics approach to education.
