Within groups, have students discuss what they believe to be true about education. As they talk to their group members, have them highlight the three to five items that they think will most influence them as teachers. While students are grouped together, have students pick one person to be the recorder or scribe and one reporter or presenter for each group.

After students have discussed what they believe about education and teaching, have students discuss their personal beliefs about education and what this might mean in terms of how they will teach. During this discussion, the recorder should take notes while participating in the discussion.

Ask the following questions: ? How did you come to believe what you do about education? ? How will your beliefs about education influence the kind of teacher you will become?

Additionally, students need to understand that, while their values and principles may be static, their written philosophies may be dynamic documents that are likely to change as they gain additional educational experience.

What influence do you think your culture has on your system of beliefs and values? Your system of beliefs and your educational philosophy will influence your teaching. As you become more aware of your beliefs about education, you will be better able to make conscientious decisions about your teaching. Your values and principles may be static (unchanging), but your philosophy is probably more dynamic - evolving as you gain more experience in the classroom. A philosophy might be more simply defined as a system of beliefs.
