Wednesday August 27
Illustrate your passion for teaching your content area and how you will be
a change agent in education.
"My
(Foley, 2001) educational philosophy is about education as freedom,where
individuals can deal critically and creatively with their reality so
they may 'see the world unveiled'" (Freire, 1993, 21).
"Each
and every educator must strive to be an effective change agent." (Fullan,
1993, p 13)
"Critical Pedagogy is a way of thinking about, negotiating, and transforming the relationship among classroom teaching, the production of knowledge, the institutional structures of the school, and the social and material relations of the wider community, society, and nation state" (Mc laren, 1998, p45).
"Critical pedagogy is a complex notion that asks much of the practitioners who embrace it. Teaching a critical pedagogy involves more than learning a few pedagogical techniques and the knowledge required by the curriculum, the standards, or the textbook. Critical teachers must understand not only a wide body of subject matter but also the political structure of the school" (Kincheloe, 2008, p2).
