I had to state my "educational philosophy" on an online application recently. Really--it was a required field. When I applied as an undergraduate to BYU I had to do an essay on education and the first thing that came out was this poem. I chickened out of actually submitting it as my essay back then, but I've basically remembered it to this day and I used it for my statement of educational philosophy for this app yesterday:
The more I learn
The more I know
The more I see
The more I grow
The more I grow
The taller I stand
The farther I reach
My doing hand
The more I do
The happier I am
The more I help
The more I can
And when I can
Do so many things
There's a word for me
"Freedom" rings.
The teaching job, by the way, is as an adjunct professor of Multimedia Production in the Music Technology department at Kansas City Kansas Community College (KCKCC). I'm excited about the class. It's basically about creating content for the web, namely websites, graphics, and video.
