Importance of Creating a Philosophy Statement

                    Having placed my Philosophy of Education down in writing will afford me the opportunity to reflect upon it and analyze future assignments and thoughts through that lens.  I think that it is important to know what you believe and what motivations guide your actions and thoughts.  As an educator, it is important to have this personal philosophy written down as it makes it more concrete.  It is sometimes easier to bend the rules, if no one else knows what they are.
