My Philosophy of Education: Disciple of Dewey, Follower of Fred Rogers

Like most teachers, as an undergraduate student, I was tasked with developing a list of ten (10) statements that summarize my educational philosophy. The following statements best 

STATEMENT #1

Education is rooted in the sharing and building of human experience.

"Education isn't just about transmitting information or facts from one person to another, but it involves a broader and more meaningful exchange of human experiences. It's about people connecting with each other, sharing their stories, insights, successes, failures, and everything that makes up their unique human experiences. When individuals share and engage with each other's experiences, they contribute to a collective pool of knowledge and wisdom. This shared knowledge is then used to build a deeper and richer understanding of the world, enabling individuals to grow and develop in various aspects of their lives."

STATEMENT #2

The "object and reward of learning is the continued capacity for growth."
