My teaching philosophy would be

Progressivism

{Progressivism- Organizes schools around the concerns, curiosity, and real-world experiences of students.} DEFINITION

DEFINITIONS Essentialism strives to teach students the accumulated knowledge of our civilization through core courses in the traditional academic disciplines.Perennialism is a cousin to essentialism. Both advocate teacher centered classrooms. Both tolerate little flexibility in the curriculum.

DEFINITIONS Social Reconstructionism encourages schools, teachers, and students to focus their studies and energies on alleviating pervasive social inequities and, as the name implies, reconstruct society into a new and more just social order.Existentialism places the highest priority on students directing their own learning. Asserts that the purpose of education is to help children find the meaning and direction of their lives, and it rejects the notion that adults should or could direct meaningful learning for children.
