Founders' Friday- Black American Founders
Founding Father's Friday continues with the founders you've never heard talked about before: America's black founding fathers. That's right, they weren't all rich white guys who wanted slavery. These men played a HUGE role in the founding of our country and the fight for independence. Why are these amazing patriots being erased from our history books? It's time to set the record straight. (NOTE: There is a special after the show question and answer segment as the Video Of The Day below this program.)

Teachers Portfolio
Fellow Warriors, a Teachers' Portfolio seems to be a must in today's job hunting arena. Googling this subject can bring up many variations on the theme, making it confusing to get started. My best advice is that if you know where you want to teach, and you already know someone there, then ask them what the portfolio should contain. That way, if there are any differences between the regions of this country, you'll be closer to the mark. A valuable resource of mine got a "table of contents" from a teacher in my area, which I share with you in the below list. I modified that, which you can as well, to include letters of reference; in that section, I also included the Letter of Reference I received from Troops To Teachers.
- Resume
- Philosophy of Education
- Examples of Parent Communication
- Examples of Discipline Procedure
- Awards
- Examples of Lesson Plans with Student Product
- Technology Info
- My Perception of Teaching
- My Perception of Learning
- My Teaching Goals
- Executing the Philosophy
- My Perception of Technology
- My Growth as a Teacher
When I googled "Philosophy of Education", this is one of the things I found:
Your personal philosophy of education statement should include the following:
Your perception of teaching: Here you describe what teaching means to you, your teaching processes, and how you can facilitate those processes as an educator. Issues such as motivating students, facilitating the learning process, how to challenge students academically, and how to support their learning abilities should be addressed.
Your perception of learning: Here you try and describe what learning means to you and what exactly happens in a learning situation. You can either use metaphors to draw comparisons with known philosophies, or you can directly relate what you think happens during a learning session based on your personal experiences as an educator.
Your teaching goals: In this section you describe your goals for your students and also list the various talents or skills that you expect your students to acquire through your teaching. In addition to the goals that you have set for your students, you should also provide the rationale behind these goals and how you will keep changing the goals to meet the growing learning needs of your students.
Executing your philosophy of education statement: The most important component of your education philosophy statement is your elaboration of the different activities that you will implement to enable your students to achieve their goals. You have to illustrate how your perceptions of teaching and learning will be translated into real time class assignments.
Your growth as a teacher: In order to continue growing professionally, teachers need to set goals for themselves and also outline their ways to achieve these goals. The personal goals that you have set for yourself as an educator should thus be mentioned in your philosophy of education statement.
Formatting The Philosophy of Education Statement
Here are some tips on formatting your teaching philosophy statement:
Ensure that it is not more than 2 pages long, unless a detailed description has been asked for.
Write in the present tense and in an active voice as it is easiest to read and relate to.
Do not use too much technical jargon but try and use language that will be understood by broader audiences.
Include specific examples of your personal philosophy of teaching so that the reader can actually 'see' how you interact with your students even though they have not visited a real class that you teach.
Give your philosophy of education statement a lot of thought and ensure that you write about your personal beliefs and real experiences. If you simply churn out a standardized education philosophy statement, that will come across to the reader and will not be as impressive.
