Unit 1: Definition of Education Rewrite
Using your original text from Unit 1, reshape your definition into an educational 500-750 word educational philosophy. What do you believe education should be / should accomplish? What does education mean to you? You can consider your Unit 1 essay as a pre-writing activity for your draft (rather than try to take text directly from the essay to shape it into a philosophy). You can view my teaching philosophy, but recognize mine is from the position of teacher (and this text is much longer than I expect yours to be).
 | Use first person (saying "I" is totally appropriate) |
| Make yourself central to the philosophy |
| External quotes are not necessary (although they can be a good starting point) |
| Feel free to change the focus from the original document - change and evolution are good in the writing process |
| Submit with your original Unit 1 essay (if you failed to turn in a Unit 1, include an absence memo with the Philosophy; highest grade possible to replace a "0" is a C) |
| When you submit for a revised
grade, include a short additional response reflecting on the following
(like the self-reflections we write when we turn units in): |
- How is your philosophy different from your original definition?
- Which text do you like better? Why?
- Which text was "easier" to create? Why?
