WRAP-UP ACTIVITY

Write a reflection paper on your Own Teaching Philosophy. The reflection should be 2
pages in length and written in the first person and in present tense. It should state your goal
of education and several ideas you have about how to reach that goal. You may include
examples and descriptions so your reader can “see” you in your classroom—these may be
specific teaching strategies you use, assignments you integrate, discussions you have with
students, or the physical environment you create. You can use this format:

a. First paragraph should include why you feel that education is important and what
you feel is the true goal of education.

b. Body paragraphs will show your reader the way that you teach and why you teach
this way.

c. Conclusion paragraph (can do a number of things) -- reiterate your passion for

teaching, state how you continue to improve as an educator, or discuss your positive
relationships with your students.
