    At the beginning of the semester, I had no idea what a ‘Philosophy of Education’

    was— let alone my beliefs and thoughts about the matter. All I knew was that I had the

    passion to learn as a student and as a future educator, but I didn’t know much else.

    However over the course of the semester, Dr. Lori and Dr. Erin helped my find my voice

    and discover my personal philosophy of education, and I can’t thank them enough for

    unlocking my potential I have as a future teacher.

    One of the first values I discovered early into the semester was the excitement of

    teaching. I already have the passion to teach children, but my ED112 and ED245

    classes fueled the fire even more. After visits to the Lab school, Shortridge High School,

    and the Indiana School for the Blind and Visually Impaired, I realized how truly excited I

    am to become an educator. I can’t wait to use some of the methods and tech

    tools I learned with my future students. My favorite thing I learned was the notion

    that all children don’t learn the same way. In high school, I was a swim instructor

    so I knew that all children learn through different lessons, but Dr. Lori and Dr.

    Erin were the people who taught me a variety of ways to cater to different

    learning types. I’m definitely going to use “brain breaks” when I’m a teacher, and use

    technology to help enhance the learning of students as well. Furthermore, I’m excited to

    give my students the passion for learning like I do, and I plan on encouraging my

    students to ask questions, find research, and explore the community where they live.

    During this course, I learned that I believe in the appreciation of diversity

    inside and outside of the classroom. I grew up in Noblesville, Indiana and it had
    little diversity in the school and community, and I feel as though I never received

    different cultural perspectives. When we were making our self identity projects, I

    discovered that about 89% of the students at Noblesville Schools are caucasian. After I

    researched more and more about the city I grew up in, I realized that I want to teach in

    an area that has a diverse community, such as the Lab School. Because schools reflect

    their community, I want to develop a classroom that embraces these differences and

    similarities that exist inside and outside of the school. Especially after learning about

    how the brain works, I believe that it’s healthy for students, whether young or old, to be

    exposed to worlds outside of their own. It will help them open their mind to other

    cultures around them, and hopefully increase their level of empathy and understanding,

    which lacked at Noblesville High School.

    I also believe in the notion of collaboration too. In both of my education courses,

    we were constantly encouraged to communicate with our peers and other educators

    too. This idea of collaborative work is a presence I would like to use in the classroom

    because it encourages the sharing of different perspectives and ideas. Rather than

    discussing simple questions, we focus on open ended questions that require deep

    thinking and intellectual thought. I feel as though open communication can help

    stimulate the enthusiasm of a classroom because it promotes interaction, unlike just

    listening. Rather than simply being a teacher, I want to be a guide to unlock every

    students’ potential through deep thought and integrated projects that connect to a

    variety of subjects instead of one. I believe that I can teach my students, but I’m so

    excited to learn from my students too, and I cannot wait for the years ahead

    of me as a Butler student and as a future educator.


    I want to give a special thanks to these three special professors and mentors who helped me unlock

    my passion for education and further my learning as a student and future educator. I hope I get to

    have them again in my future classes, because they are the bee’s knees!

    Thank you so much!
