Philosophy of Education

I took the quiz last night and found that my top 2 (tied for first place) philosophies of education are progressivism  and social reconstructionism. I'm not really surprised about this although a lot of what I think about or hope for in education I can't quite seem to make actually happen in my classroom (as much as I would hope for). I love trying to help students become better people in our community. That's one reason why I like teaching the 8 Keys of Excellence. I want to do more projects in my classroom but I'm finding a challenge in how to make it all work. I have a lot of reasons in my head that it might not work but I'm thinking if I saw more of this in action some of those reasons might go away. I'm hoping that through this class and the sharing of teacher information I will find more ways to bring project based learning into my classroom. Thinking about each student as an individual is something I try to do in the classroom as much as possible. We have an overall system set up in the classroom but modifications are made constantly so that individuals can be successful.
