Understandings
A personal teaching philosophy is a statement of beliefs and attitudes relative to purpose of
education and role of teaching.
According to Stephen Brookfield in his book The Skillful Teacher (1990) the development of a
teaching philosophy can be used for several purposes.
• Personal Purposes- A clean picture of why you are doing what you are doing that you can
call up at points of crisis. This is crucial to your personal sanity and morals.
• Pedagogical Purpose- Knowing clearly what kind of dent/niche you want to make in the
world that you must continually ask yourself. The fundamental evaluating questions of
all: “What effect am I having on students and their learning?’’
