Philosophy Statements, Graduation Requirements and Dave Burgess... Oh My!

Let's get caught up on all the goodness from the last few weeks of #AEE100!

• We spent two class sessions discussing the importance of and how to create a Teaching Philosophy
• Remember Ms. Herr's High Five from Dr. Larkin Hood's Philosophy Statement?
• We know that a teaching philosophy helps us to IMPROVE and PROVE
• They help us articulate what kind of teacher/facilitator/leader we are
• They should be based on our previous experiences and those we predict we will encounter
• They help us articulate what we want our students to know before they leave our classroom
• Make them memorable! You will show these to an employer.
