Write an educational philosophy for a future bilingual teacher.
Develop an essay outlining a philosophy of education based on your current professional and personal experience (bilingual teacher 2nd grade Spanish). The Educational Philosophy must be between 600 – 1000 words, be written in APA style* with clear and concise writing, and without grammatical errors.
-Make the Educational Philosophy Statement brief and well written
-Use a narrative, first-person approach. This allows the philosophy to be both personal and reflective.
-Be sincere and unique. Avoid clichs, especially ones about how much passion you have for teaching.
-Make it specific rather than abstract. Ground the ideas in 1-2 concrete examples, whether experienced or anticipated. This will help the reader to better visualize you in the classroom.
-Be discipline specific. Do not ignore your research. Explain how you advance your field (bilingual education) through teaching.
-Avoid jargon and technical terms, as they can be off-putting to some readers. It should not feel like a resume or CV.
-Be humble. Mention students in an enthusiastic, not condescending way, and illustrate your willingness to learn from your students and colleagues.
