My philosophy of teaching relates to community engagement in the classroom. As outlined in the attached image, creating community among teacher and students is important to success. Along with teaching content and delivering active learning activities, I would facilitate regular icebreakers so students can learn more about each other, and develop an online community with my learning management system. This would include community boards so students can discuss things personally, and ask for help from their peers regarding coursework.

Early in the course, I would, collectively with students, create community guidelines for communications purposes. This ensures every student has a voice and contributes to how they’d like the class to run throughout a semester.
