“By learning you will teach; by teaching you will learn”
Latin proverb
I have written several philosophies of teaching philosophy statements. They are different enough. I assume that this reflects that I always try to continue to refine what I mean by education.
• Respect for the learner and
• Continuous refinement of the teaching process
have remained essential features though my educational philosophy get matured with my experience. These two are linked and how I use these elements to define my educational approach is outlined below:
Respect for the learner
In the teacher-learner dyad, each of the following feature influences the success of the educational encounter.
• Engaging the learner is critical.
• A teacher must start by gauging the needs of the learner, tailoring the approach to the learner and insuring a safe learning environment.
• A central goal is to encourage experimentation and taking chances. Consistent with this attitude of respect and willingness to accept error and correct it quickly when it occurs.
• Honesty about expectations, successes and mistakes is the foundation for the respect that will insure optimal learning.
Continuous refinement of the teaching process
Each teaching session is an experiment, blending unique learning needs and teaching methods. Assessment and evaluation are integral for the learning process. Both insure quality, clarify key elements to be learned and help prevent the same errors from occurring over time. Continuous refinement of the teaching process is predicated on honesty-- accepting feedback and respecting that
people learn differently. Without looking back at what we have done we are not informed about what we might do.
These two basic approaches to teaching are embodied in the active and reflective style of teaching I
feel most comfortable with. I ask questions of my students; probe what they know, what they think and why they chose a specific course of action. I resist giving “the answer”, working toward “an answer”, building on what they know and helping them discover their own ability to solve problems. This approach empowers students to take the next step in the learning process, regardless of level of training.
“Tell me and I’ll forget. Show me, and I may not remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.”
