Philosophy can mean a lot of things. Be honest and speak from the heart
and the words will ring true. You might talk about concern for kids, love
for what you teach or how much passion (my favorite) you have for what
you do. I'm not into a lot of teaching buzz words, but that's what most
applicants put in their statements. My latest effort at putting my
philosophy into words is here:

If any of that helps, us it. But as I said, be honest and speak from
the heart.
Good luck, Woody in KC

dumb stuff ? I wrote the text using netscape composer.
