My Philosophy of Education Hands The hands represent the many different people involved in one child’s particular education over the course of their life. The teaching responsibility is handed off between teachers, resource personnel, family, and friends during one student’s life. The Placement of The Hands The hands’ placement symbolize the gentle and caring touch of a person’s influence on any student. It is the responsibility of these “hands” to manipulate and do whatever is possible to ensure the best education for each student. Each “hand” realizes the importance of every “piece of the puzzle” and will not stop until every piece fits perfectly. Puzzle Pieces: The different puzzle pieces represent each unique and individual student. Each student has his or her own way of learning and contributes to the class environment in an important but unique way. This “Philosophy of Education” was created by using a creative way to share my thoughts and beliefs. Many students, like myself, are able and more motivated to complete assignments if they are given the chance to do it in a way that is familiar to them.
