My Personal Theory Of Education

The field of education has many questions with many answers. As a future educator, it is my duty to answer those question. These questions can range anywhere from “Can I go to the bathroom?” to “what should teachers be teaching?” My personal theory of education is based on my experience in the field, my experiences as a student, what I have learned as a future educator, and other life experience, so my theory, like many other educational theories, is different and unique. My theory will answer questions involving what should be taught, who should teach, when should students learn, how students learn, how teachers should teach, and what should be included in the curriculum. To understand my point of view, I will provide some insight into my
These are classes on life skills. These classes can be the difference between having a successful smooth transition into adulthood or having tougher time with the transition. A class that changed my life was a class on personal finance. In my senior year of high school, I took this class to fill a credit and I learned so much on how to manage my money, as well as how to look to the future in spending and saving.
