PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY OF LEARNING STATEMENT 2
following statement related to the full inclusion of diverse learners in a regular classroom setting.
We strive to provide all levels of learners with an appropriate education in a challenging yet
encouraging environment, while fostering individual responsibility for learning, and empowering
The first phrase touches on the inclusion of diverse learners by mentioning all levels of
learners. I chose to use the phrase an appropriate education to indicate that education should
not be one size fits all, but should instead be tailored to the needs of each individual student. I
believe the challenging yet encouraging environment is important to demonstrate the notion
that, while we will challenge our students in order to help them grow, we will do so in an
environment that will keep students comfortable, happy, and willing to learn. Fostering
individual responsibility for learning is also necessary to show that student autonomy is
encouraged, which I believe directly relates to empowering students to reach their full potential.
