I conducted the first interview with Jesse Faber. The key points that I took away from our conversation are: it is natural for your teaching philosophy to change over time, all students should be successful, as an educator, it is important to provide multiple pathways of success to students, inclusion is vital, and a hard work ethic is important instill in students.
The second interview I conducted was with Miranda Kane. Some key points that I took away from our conversation are: Students should be involved in all three aspects of the three-circle model, students should be able to express themselves creatively, it is important to stay current with teaching practices and culture.
My last interview was with Meagan Slates. Some key takeaways I had were: it is the teacher's role to better students and encourage them to reach their goals, the three-circle model supports students with valuable knowledge, and FFA engagement is vital.
I really enjoyed my conversations with everyone. I gained some essential advice and an insider view on core values and teaching philosophies. I think that each interview had one important focus in common which was that each philosophy was focused on students. As I reflect on my own teaching philosophy, I will keep these points in mind to remind my self of the great that has been shared with me.
