So, I'm working on my syllabus, because I start teaching tomorrow morning, and I'm considering including portions of my teaching philosophy in my syllabus. I think it would be valuable for my students to think about philosophies of teaching and learning, so I'll start the conversation by offering them some tidbits to work with.
Only trouble is, I wrote my teaching philosophy a good five years ago, and haven't looked at it since then. Sometimes, when I look back and re-read stuff I've written earlier, I'm amazed. This time, I don't think amazement is the right way to describe my reaction. So much has happened between then and now. Fortunately, I've sketched out some notes for a new starting point. And even more fortunately, the stakes aren't super-high when it comes to the quality of the statement. Yet.
