**Personal Philosophy of Education

Focus of the Final Paper – Capstone Essay

Using your five chapter summaries (i.e., your journals which synthesized the key points of each chapter) as a point of departure, generate a seven paragraph essay encompassing your personal philosophy of education. This should represent a culmination of your learning in this course and a synthesis of your current knowledge as an educator. Your final paper must include:

1. An introduction in which you reflect on your learning and the major focus points of the course
2. Five body paragraphs comprising each of your chapter summaries
3. A conclusion that encompasses the essence of your foundational beliefs as an educator and how they will inform your teaching and learning in the future
