Overall, there are great ideas presented in this Educational Philosophy. Student needs to say more of
what she would do rather than what teachers should do. I feel there needs to be more explanation of
B.F. Skinners theory of operant conditioning. Explain how the students replace the bad action with a
correct one and use an example. Finally, there are a few areas that need to be reworded; for
example, the fourth paragraph begins Besides learning, teachers . Teachers are not learning.
Students are learning. Teachers are instructing the students in certain content areas. One other area
is in the third paragraph where least advanced students are mentioned. I believe that person first
language should be used and students who are not as advanced or students who are struggling or
even students with learning disabilities should be used instead. As a teacher, we want to see the
student, not the label or disability of the student.
