What is a Philosophy of Teaching Statement, and Why is it Important??~

Philosophy of teaching statements are concise statements of what you believe about the teaching and learning of languages, and possibly also about education in general.

Most sources recommend that you keep your teaching philosophy statement between one and two pages in length, covering what you believe, why, and brief examples of how you implement it in the classroom.

While a statement of your philosophy of teaching is an important item to include in your teacher portfolio, it also serves a much more important role. It guides and informs you as you prepare other portfolio items, it helps you prepare for a job interview, and it helps you to ensure that you are consistent in the way you answer job interview questions.
