Social Science Teaching Philosophy for Early Childhood
Instructions
The goal of this assignment is to create an original statement that vividly describes
the methods and philosophies that you would include in teaching by discussing
specific strategies and methods that you would use to help a reader take a mental
'peek' into your ideal classroom, and to explain why you feel that strategies you will
employ are the best strategies for early childhood education using research based
evidence.
Today, many educational institutions require a philosophy of teaching from early
childhood education instructors. In addition to needing one when applying for a job,
articulating one's approach to education is an excellent idea for teachers. A
philosophy of teaching can help an educator clearly define what sort of teacher they

want to be and this will help them move forward more easily in their career path. In
essence, a philosophy of teaching is a one- or two-page document that expresses
an educator’s preferred teaching style, strengths and overall teaching orientation. It
is also important for individuals who wish to open their own daycare or preschool as
families use a program's educational philosophy when determining a program for
their children.
In this assignment, you will write your own educational philosophy, drawing from the
philosophies and information that you have learned about in this course and in
previous courses (e.g., the Montessori method, Reggio Emilia approach, Piaget's
theory of constructivism, Lev Vygotsky's Sociocultural theory) and incorporating your
understanding of developmentally-appropriate practice. The document should be
clearly written and should showcase the your knowledge about the NAEYC's
(National Association for the Education of Young Children) standards and
requirements such as developmentally appropriate practices and ethical
responsibilities to children and families. It should also present the underlying
philosophy that will guide the your future curriculum choices and classroom
management style.
will post some readings to guide making the educational philosophy :

Educational Philosophy Instructions
In this assignment you will write an educational philosophy that is at least 700 words.
This educational philosophy should be in APA style using 12 point, Times New
Roman Font, double-spaced, with 1" margins. This includes a title page, a running
head, and page numbers. If you need help with APA style, this website is a great
resource that provides a sample paper you can use a reference. Your philosophy
must cover the topics listed below, and include at least 4 different citations to any of
the assigned readings in our course, or related research articles and/or book
chapters (e.g., the textbook, NAEYC Developmentally Appropriate Practice, the
California Learning Foundations/Curriculum Frameworks). These are just examples
of sources that can be used. You can use other sources as long as they are credible
and research-based (a book chapter, research article, and article by the NAEYC, a
textbook). Blogs such as this (Links to an external site.) are not allowed. Please ask
Dr. Pronovost if you are unsure of a source.
REQUIREMENTS:
Address all of the following topics in an integrated fashion (i.e., do not simply write a
paragraph for each of these):
Discuss/define an early educator's role: Take some time to clearly explain your ideas
about a preschool teacher’s role in the classroom. Include your beliefs about child-
led activities vs. teacher-led activities, your philosophy on the teacher’s role in

playtime, and the presentation of brand new ideas vs. discoveries the child makes
on their own. Consider also including a statement describing your sincere hopes and
expectations for the children in your classroom.
Discuss the child’s role as a learner: What is your philosophy regarding how children
learn best? What types of activities and opportunities do you believe should be
included in the classroom setting in order to facilitate the highest levels of learning
for all students, regardless of preferred learning style? How might the child’s role as
the recipient of knowledge vary depending upon their preferred learning style? Be
sure to include both structured learning activities and open-ended ideas, discussing
what you believe is the ideal ratio of both types in the classroom.
Address special needs, different learning styles and diversity in the classroom:
Discuss how specifically you will handle different personalities, learning styles,
special needs and cultural diversity as you teach different children all in one
classroom. Include a statement about how children with special learning needs will
be welcomed in your classroom, and your specific strategies for meeting both those
needs and the needs of the other students. Embracing diversity is pivotal to creating
a warm and welcoming learning environment in today’s classroom. When composing
your philosophy of teaching document, you’ll want to be sure you clearly define how
you’ll meet a variety of needs.
Define your curricular orientation: Is there a particular educational approach that you
identify with (e.g., Reggio Emilia, Montessori). Why do you strive to practice that
approach? Map out your curricular orientation, including information about what has
led you to form your specific beliefs. However, when you address this step, be
careful to not criticize other approaches. Instead, consider connecting the
information you provide about your curricular orientation with your previous
statements about the role of the teacher in the early childhood education setting (in
step 1).
Describe classroom and conflict management: In this section, describe how you
approach any behavioral issues that may occur, and why you believe your chosen
approach will work. Be very specific; for instance, will you use time-outs or
withdrawal of playtime privileges?
Address family inclusion in the classroom: Finally, define how you plan to
incorporate parents and other primary caregivers into your classroom. Outline your
strategy for keeping parents involved and establishing and maintaining open lines of
communication with family members.
A reference page in APA style Cite specific philosophies/approaches (you can cite
your textbook), NAEYC standards, and other assigned readings. Include a reference
list on a separate page of the educational philosophy statement.

Incorporate at least 4 different credible, research-based sources. These should be
cited in the text as well as in the reference page.
Use present tense , and write the statement in the first person (e.g., "I believe…",
"Similar to X, I agree that…")
Avoid jargon. Use common, everyday language that is accessible to families, not
"technical terms". For instance, do not say "I believe in the Montessori method
because it emphasizes developmentally appropriate practice." Instead say, "Like
Maria Montessori, I believe that children learn through natural exploration of the
environment around them"
Use your own words! You will submit this to TurnitIn and will receive a 0 for
plagiarism. Please see Fresno State's policy on plagiarism (Links to an external
site.)and the Information on Plagiarism course resource.
