Introduction to Philosophy
As indicated by my introduction, the vast and plentiful experiences I have had shape my into the virtuous young educator I am today.
I hold my values closely and use them to help me with difficult issues. Helping me solve novel and ethical problems that will always be present.
My virtuous nature has also resulted in strong leadership and training positions in all jobs I have had worked.
In an ever-changing world, challenges and difficulties will always arise. My ability to tackles these problems allows me to continue to and develop, one day into an accomplished teacher.
Meaningful Participation
Being engaged meaningfully is not just trying something, but wanting to. Giving students meaningful participation can help to provide purpose and motivation.
Growth
Not only are we always learning, but we are always growing. Humans are dynamic beings, shaped by their previous knowledge and experience.
Open-Mindedness
Being aware of our emotional and cognitive bias is the first step to objectivity. To see and observe things for what they are, is crucial to avoid judgement.
Curiosity
Learning and growth is best done with curiosity. Asking questions and finding answers, or more questions, is intuitive and has led me to many personal and professional discoveries.
Reflection
Truly thinking is not easy, however it leads to some genuine discoveries and improvements. Often using design thinking or specific models help me reflect on trivial or difficult events.
Equity
We live in a world which is unfair and unequal. Education has the potential to bridge or widen this gap, to which I aim to assist the former.
