What a buzz!\u00a0 I was elected as a facilitator to assist others on how to write teaching philosophy.\u00a0 My first reaction was “What a heck!\u00a0 Armed with a PhD and yet we need someone to assist us to write our own teaching philosophy?<\/em>” Sound negative, right?<\/p>\n

Well, personally, I feel like a fake or impostor or fraud when I am entrusted and assigned as a facilitator.\u00a0 “Oh come on!\u00a0 Who am I to assist my highly esteemed colleagues with vast knowledge and experience to write their teaching philosophy.”<\/em><\/p>\n

When I write my teaching philosophy, I write it from my heart and soul<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>(of course I use my brain to think about the wording).\u00a0 How can I assist others to write their own teaching philosophy?\u00a0 We are different in so many ways.\u00a0 Some are even better teachers\/instructors\/supervisors than me.\u00a0 My passion for teaching is different from them too.\u00a0 In short, they could be a better educator and more passionate about teaching than me.<\/p>\n

How on earth am I going to assist them?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span> Don’t you think that I am a fake.\u00a0 What a baloney!<\/p>\n

But here are some of the things that I use as a guideline to write my teaching philosophy.\u00a0 The guideline is taken from the headings on TESDCP.\u00a0\u00a0 In short, just write from your heart based on each category.\u00a0 There are four categories:1) Goals of Student Learning<\/strong>, 2) Personal Philosophy<\/strong>, 3) Belief and Practices of Assessment<\/strong> and Evaluation<\/strong> and 4) Self-reflection of Teaching Development over time and how this relates to future goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I ask myself certain questions before I write each part.<\/p>\n

1) Goals of student learning<\/strong> (Before you write this part, think about this question “What do you want your students to be and become?”,\u00a0 “What kind of value that you want to inculcate and impart to them?”)<\/p>\n

2) Personal Philosophy.<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0 When I am writing this part, I emphasize on two points: Vision<\/strong> and Teaching Approach.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

a. Vision<\/strong><\/span> as an educator (Before you write this part, think about this question “How do you see yourself as an educator?”\u00a0 What is your perception about your roles as an educator?”)<\/span><\/p>\n

b. <\/strong>Teaching approach<\/strong><\/span> (Before you write this part, think about this question “What do you normally do in class?\u00a0 “What do you hope that your students will learn from the activities that you do in class or the assignment\/task that you give to students?”)<\/p>\n

3) Belief and Practices of Assessment and<\/strong> Evaluation<\/strong> (Before you write this part, think about this question “How do you assess your students?, How do you give feedback to students for improvement?”)<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0Self-reflection of Teaching Development over time and how this relates to future goals<\/strong> (Before you write this part, think about this question “How do you assess your teaching?” – it is not about relying on your students’ feedback or EPPP per se but on personal level, how do you assess yourself as an instructor\/supervisor?”, “What are the things that have changed over certain period of time?”)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
