Philosophy
of
Education
Throughout
my
childhood
and
adolescent
years,
I
believed
that
the
purpose
of
education
was
centered
around
the
idea
that
education
is
required
to
have
a
career
and
enter
the
economic
circle.
While
this
is
partially
a
true
notion,
I
came
to
find
that
my
beliefs
were
not
entirely
correct,
and
that
education
goes
way
beyond
that.
As
educators,
we
represent
and
introduce
children
and
youth
to
various
customs
and
ways
of
being
and
doing
through
education,
including
religious,
professional,
political,
and
cultural
traditions
(Biesta,
2015).
In
doing
this,
we
are
shaping
young
minds
to
thrive
in
environments
that
are
not
limited
to
just
school
and
work.
As
a
teacher
I
believe
that
all
children
are
capable
of
academic
and
behavioral
success,
and
I
am
aware
that
students
do
not
enter
the
classroom
prepared
to
do
so.
It
is
my
job
to
use
my
teaching
methods
to
support
their
growth
in
self-control,
empathy,
cooperation,
responsibility,
and
assertiveness.
Some
aspects
of
my
cultural
identity
have
shaped
my
understanding
of
school
over
the
years.
One
aspect
I
believe
has
been
a
great
influence
on
my
understanding
of
school
is
my
geographic
location.
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
live
in
two
utterly
different
geographic
locations.
I
was
born
in
New
York,
but
at
the
age
of
12,
I
moved
to
Sicily,
Italy
with
my
family,
where
I
completed
my
secondary
education.
I
was
able
to
experience
how
different
the
school
system
is
in
both
locations
which
has
helped
me
visualize
the
different
aspects
of
education
and
schooling
in
different
countries.
I
was
able
to
experience
the
ways
of
learning
and
teaching
that
differentiate
countries
from
one
another
while
having
the
same
goal,
to
impart
knowledge.
Transitioning
from
a
traditional
American
school
to
an
Italian
school
was
a
bit
of
a
struggle
for
me.
Although
I
was
fluent
in
the
language,
I
was
not
familiar
with
the
teaching
methods
and
assessment
methods
that
were
customary
to
the
rest
of
the
class.
I
found
it
difficult
to
thrive
in
Philosophy
of
Education
the
environment
and
worked
very
hard
to
do
my
very
best
with
my
studies.
Eventually,
with
guidance
and
effort,
I
progressed
and
became
accustomed
to
these
diverse
methods.
This
experience
shaped
the
way
I
want
to
teach.
I
want
to
ensure
that
students
don’t
feel
estranged
when
working
in
a
new
environment.
My
goal
is
to
create
confidence
in
each
and
every
student,
encouraging
them
to
work
their
best
and
they
will
never
fail.
In
my
opinion,
achievement
gaps
and
opportunity
gaps
are
very
important
to
differentiate
as
part
of
my
pedagogy.
It
can
be
detrimental
to
place
more
focus
on
accomplishment
outcomes
than
the
factors
that
influence
them.
It
can
support
the
false
belief
that
learners
are
performing
below
expectations
because
of
personal
failings,
mistakenly
attributing
failures
to
a
student's
attitude
or
work
ethic
rather
than
the
years
of
hardship
brought
on
by
socioeconomic
(Ghandi,2021).
IT
is
important
to
me
that
students
are
not
evaluated
based
only
on
the
achievement
goals
they
reach.
Students
should
be
viewed
as
a
path,
looking
for
the
attributes
that
aid
in
reaching
their
academic
goals.
They
should
not
be
viewed
as
simply
not
reaching
a
goal
as
it
is
not
as
simple
as
that.
Many
students
work
hard
to
achieve
their
goals,
but
unfortunately
lack
the
resources
to
reach
them
in
a
timely
manner
or
at
all.
Therefore,
it
is
my
goal
to
ensure
that
there
is
a
difference
specified
between
“achievement
gaps”
and
“opportunity
gaps.
I
will
work
hard
to
aid
in
closing
those
gaps
by
providing
the
resources
needed
while
in
the
classroom
and
aiding
the
school/schools
I
will
work
in
to
take
steps
to
closing
those
gaps
at
a
schoolwide
level
as
well.
At
the
beginning
of
this
course,
we
focused
on
reflective
practice.
Humans
have
the
capacity
for
self-awareness
when
they
reflect
on
their
actions.
The
ability
to
see
oneself
or
one's
own
actions
as
the
other
and
as
something
that
may
be
intentionally
changed
is
what
it
is.
Thus,
reflection
is
a
product
of
our
moral
principles
and
attitudes,
expressed
in
our
thought
processes
