    Shannon Hageman's teaching philosophy is eclectic, encompassing elements of various philosophies and finding the right balance. The core goals are for students to leave with improved understanding of reading and writing and as better individuals prepared to contribute to their community.

    Teaching Philosophy of

    Shannon Hageman
    Eclecticism is an educational philosophy that encompasses a healthy balance
    of all other philosophies. However, just as in life, finding that proper balance can be
    a great challenge and something that changes with circumstance. Achieving this
    balance is a process to which my own teaching philosophy will adhere. The core of
    my philosophy- my purpose and goal for every student- is that they leave my
    classroom with not only a better understanding of reading and writing, but also as
    better individuals, prepared to contribute their own talents for the common good of
    our community.

    Part of this betterment requires individual reflection and

    meaning, an existential component of my teaching philosophy, as well as purposeful


    discussion and reflection on social experience, a social reconstructionism approach.
    I plan my lessons with an emphasis on collaboration, effective communication,
    critical thinking, self-directed learning, and personal reflection. This deeper learning
    will engage student's individual interests, while also implementing the diverse
    cultures represented in our room and in the world. By focusing on current events
    and the world around us, my students will come to recognize social justice issues
    and seek opportunities for change. They will see their influence on the future and
    become that voice advocating for the common good.
    While my I prefer hands on, active participation from my students, I do still
    cling to perennial values, such as the profound lesson of timeless literature classics
    and my slight hesitation regarding new technologies. I still believe that there are
    times when a lesson requires nothing more than a good old pen and paper. I think
    many students, particularly in the small town communities I hope to teach, will
    appreciate the traditional and conservative values within the curriculum.

    I'm not a fan of standardized testing and I feel my eclectic philosophy shows
    that. While my students become deeper learners, they'll nurture a better
    understanding of the content and standardized testing will reflect that knowledge
    without controlling the lesson plans. Learning is a process and I believe that growth
    is most often best assessed with portfolios that encourage a student with tangible
    and valid evidence of the progress made. Such assessments do not just come from
    me, but from the input of the individual as well as their peers. The skills learned in
    such assessment follows the student out of the classroom and into most careers
    and future education.
    Of all the eclectic attributes to my teaching philosophy, one continuous belief
    I have regarding education is that parents are the most important teachers their
    children will ever have. As a parent, I understand that communication between
    home and school is important to a childs success in education. I want the parents of
    my students, regardless of how that role is defined, to know that they are a part of
    our classroom as well- I welcome that open communication and hope to engage
    their participation at home as well. I plan to do this with online publication sites (like
    blogs and websites) and by offering my contact information to parents while
    reaching out with lessons that include student/parent collaboration.
    As my students grow and progress, so will I. My research in the content area
    is ongoing. I try to stay current with today's popular young adult literature while
    investigating new ways to teach older classics. While some collaboration happens in
    professional learning communities, I've also connected with educators across the
    world by means of social media. I enjoy being the teacher as much as I love being a
    student and this passion encourages constant development in my content area. My
    teaching philosophy will grow and progress as I do, as both a student and a teacher.
