Personal Philosophy of Education Guidelines
See the syllabus for page length and other details.
This paper is a statement of your personal philosophy of education, which should focus on the purpose of education. As an academic paper, it is to be supported by the
body of knowledge in the field, which is to include references to the literature from educational philosophy, psychology, curriculum, and learning theory. Treat this
as a position statement, a persuasive paper. Make declarative statements of “ought” and “should.”
Follow the length requirement outlined in the syllabus, use APA format, and include a minimum of six references. Submit the paper on both Blackboard and
www.LiveText.com. A grade will not be assigned unless the paper is submitted in both locations.
HEADINGS: There is a rubric that will be used in grading (see below). To ensure that your paper meets the requirements of the rubric, the following elements must be
included. Note the required headings that are to be placed in the same order in your paper as they appear in the outline below.
