Ep 8 What is Your Educational Philosophy – What you need to know if you want to be a teacher

Episode Description

Getting Started series: In this episode I unravel the significance of understanding your teaching beliefs. I know that starting out can feel like stepping into a maze, but fear not! I’m here to guide you through the wonderful world of educational philosophies in a clear and engaging way.

In this episode, I’ll talk about something super important: your teaching compass, or as some call it, your educational philosophy. We’ll chat about how understanding what you believe about how kids learn can make a huge difference in how you teach.

We’ll break down Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Steiner Waldorf and a few other educational theorists in simple terms, and show you how these ideas about teaching can help shape your own approach. Think of it as choosing your own adventure in teaching!

Whether you’re just starting your teaching career or diving into homeschooling for the first time, this episode is like a treasure chest filled with ideas to help you find your unique teaching style. By the end, you’ll feel inspired and confident to explore and express your own teaching philosophy, making your educational journey a whole lot more enjoyable!
