There are many educational philosophies that determine which teaching instruction and school curriculum you use. These include: perennialism, idealism, realism, experimentalism, existentialism, essentialism, progressivism, and behaviorism (Deutsch, 2004). Effective teaching may be classified as transmission, apprenticeship, developmental, nurturing, and social reform (Pratt, & Collins, 2001). Please add your personal philosophy of education.
