Good practice guide 8 : developing your team's educational philosophy

Your personal educational philosophy as an academic is the individual system of beliefs and values that guides your teaching practice. Even if you are not aware that you have an educational philosophy this underlying system is what you use to guide your decision making in your design of teaching and learning activities, your attitudes towards students and how they learn, and your engagement withteaching technologies. It also helps you define and enact your role as an educator within your profession, your organization and your broader societal contexts.
