Professional Philosophy Statement

The Professional Philosophy Statement is the final reflective task in the creation of your Professional Portfolio. Your goal is to summarize your professional beliefs and values about early childhood education after you have completed the professional development experience of designing your Portfolio by collecting resources and writing Reflective Statements of Competence. 

​The Professional Philosophy Statement should be no more than two pages in length. Identify your personal values and beliefs around teaching and learning: How do you believe young children learn? Based on this, explain what you believe your role is as their teacher/caregiver. 

Beyond teaching and learning, reflect and write about what you believe are the other important aspects of your role in the lives of children and families.
