Philosophy Of Teaching
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Teaching as a social construct has suffered in the transformation from conventionality to politically correct. The extent to which instructors must be reminded of its philosophy and holistic composition is both grand and far-reaching; that teachers today are academically restricted to follow limiting administrative mandates speaks to how the fundamental concept and application of teaching has been downsized to incorporate only what is deemed socially and politically appropriate. There are those instructors and administrators, however, who fully understand the critical nature of hands-on, expansive education and do everything they can to incorporate an abundance of methods to reach each individual in their classrooms.

[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Each stage of physical and emotional growth is critical to raising a healthy and sound child. Some might debate which echelon represents the most challenging to both parents and children, however, the general consensus indicates that of all the formative stages of childhood, the three-year-old toddler stage can present the most demanding; it is at this point that children learn to walk and begin to discover things they have not previously had the opportunity to experience. As such, the Montessori prepared environment is established to address these needs and taps into the hidden aspects of childhood in such a manner that quite significantly separates its approach from the standard offerings at contemporary public schools.
