I have been put to the challenge to develop my beliefs about teaching. Education is very important to me. I will make sure that I try to push my children to continue their education until they cant go any much. The sky is the limit. I ask myself important questions every day. What kind of instiller do I want to be? I want to have a positive settle and a strong teaching strategy. Everybody have their ideal teaching strategy and their goals of being a teacher. For this philosophical essay I have studied 4 philosophies. The 4 philosophies were perennialism, essentialism, progressivism, and social Reconstructionism.When I took the assessment I scored a 19 on essentialism, I assume that I believe in this belief strongly. The contiguous naughtyest was the Perennialism where I scored an 18 in. For Progressivism I scored a 14 and finally I scored a 15 in social Reconstructionism. Essentialism suggests that a critical core of information exists that all people should possess. Schools sh ould emphasize staple fiber skills and academic subjects, and disciples should master these subjects. A curriculum that emphasizes reading, writing, and a deep understanding of math is consistent with essentialism.Essentialism and perennialism share the kindred view that experience and understanding are preeminent.

Teacher illustrated reasoning with original accounts of famous experiments and it give students a human side to science. Perennialism and essentialism have similarities.
