Developing your teaching philosophy
Time: 5 - 10 Hours | Format: Online | Pace: Learner Led
Developing a teaching philosophy is about coming to know yourself as a teacher and involves a process of self-discovery (Palmer, 1998; Weimer, 2010). As Campos (2012) suggests, a teaching philosophy statement “clearly and logically communicates what your fundamental values and beliefs are about teaching and learning, why you hold these values and beliefs, and how you translate these values and beliefs into your everyday teaching and learning experiences” (p. 6).
This micro-credential is designed to provide you with the opportunity to explore your values and beliefs about teaching and learning, articulate an initial draft of your teaching philosophy statement, and engage with colleagues to elicit, give, and receive feedback on your teaching philosophy.
Learning Goals
Upon the completion of this micro-credential, participants will have the opportunity to:
Completion Criteria
1. Write a draft teaching philosophy statement.
