teaching philosophy

From my Twitter feed, this article, which concludes this way:

Ensure you know exactly what is wanted of you. Because then there will be no surprises come appraisal time. And if your personal philosophy and the school's do not match up, it would then be worthwhile considering if the school you're in is actually the one for you. Not everyone will drop into a school they immediately fall in love with in terms of ethos, so don't be afraid to try a new environment if your ideals or lofty impressions of the profession haven't matched up immediately with the often cold and calculating reality of the education sector in the league table culture we currently live in.

Go read the article from the beginning.
