Philosophy of Education: My philosophy of education is the Development Appropriate Practice (D.A.P.) within the curriculum it needs to be age and individually appropriate. It must be age appropriate because it needs to include cognitive, emotional, physical and social domain.This gives the children a chance to learn and explore within their age range. Children will not feel so intimidated in lower or higher level age range.The curriculum must be individually appropriate because teachers must know that children are unique and have different learning styles and personalities. The teacher must make the curriculum ample for each child to explore and discover the environment in his/her own constructive way of learning. In the curriculum, there are many components that should be addressed in a developmentally appropriate practice curriculum. Here are few of the major components: 1. The curriculum should include all four development of the whole child (social, emotional, physical and cognitive). 2.The curriculum should be based on teacher's observations and recordings. 3.The curriculum should have active explorations and also you need to allow active time for exploration. 4. The teacher should have a wide range of materials that increase complexity. 5. Learning materials and activities should be real and relevant. 6.The curriculum should be multicultural based and nonsexist.
