“Philogging” (Philosophical blogging) is the first step in the constantly evolving process used to define and consider one’s own personal philosophy of education. How do you being to articulate your beliefs about your role in a classroom? In order to answer this question you must first be able to identify your beliefs as they pertain to your personal philosophies about education. I am certainly ready to develop my philosophy and have a better understanding of my collection of beliefs about education that have been influencing me up to this point in my life. Throughout the semester the challenge will be to begin to define and understand my role as an educator in the classroom. Having spent most of my life in the educational system, as a student, it has undoubtedly influenced my beliefs about education. This will be represented and reflected in my understanding of my role, and will hopefully help me to develop my own personal philosophy. However, in order for me to articulate my beliefs about my role in a classroom I must first understand my beliefs and those things that have influenced my opinions and thoughts about education and schooling. This is a process that will involve varying philosophies and will challenge any sort of misconceptions that have already influenced me both historically and socially. The learning process of articulating and expressing my personal philosophy of education will be both challenging and rewarding. I hope to have a better understanding and define my role as an educator, and develop my personal philosophy of education as the semester progresses.
