Hints for Writing a Philosophy of Education
\nInformation from http:\/\/www.edulink.org\/portfolio\/philosophies.htm
\n-When appropriate, “drop names” in your philosophy. For example, “As Erikson, I believe that children go through a series of mini-crisis as they mature and it will be part of my task is to assist young people in making these transitions.”
\n-For example, rather than writing “I strongly believe in inclusion.” write “I believe that inclusion is a key ingredient in the makeup of the classroom and I will support inclusion through practices such as using alternative assessments and preparing lessons which appeal to different learning styles.”
\n– Make sure to use an eye-catching title.
\n-Don\u2019t discuss problems in education or your opinion of these problems. Be positive!
\n-Write in the first person narrative. For example, \u201cI will\u2026\u201d or \u201cI believe..\u201d
\n-Use information from texts or other qualified sources to include in your statement. Be sure to use correct APA citation.
\n\uf0d8\tOnly include the author\u2019s first name initial. For example, the author is Liz Hollingsworth. In the citation, only write L.
\n\uf0d8\tOnly capitalize the FIRST WORD in the title.
\n\uf0d8\tItalicize the journal title or book title.
\nThis is the correct format for an APA citation on your reference page:
\nHollingsworth, L (2007).Five ways to prepare for standardized tests without sacrificing best
\npractice. The Reading Teacher. 61, 339-342.
\nThis is the correct format for your in-text APA citations:
\nWhen preparing students for standardized testing in reading, the teacher must define what reading is according to the test and introduce the students to the content represented on the assessment (Hollingsworth, 2007).
