Personal Philosophy Of Existentialism

The philosophy of existentialism is solely related to encouraging student’s self-awareness, promoting high ambitions and pursuing life long goals. “Educations most important goal is to awaken human consciousness and create personal self-awareness that helps make each person authentic, genuine, and unique (Kaplan 183). I believe in supporting your student’s through motivation, and by showing genuine interest in their life both in and out of school. “Existentialism focuses on the existence of the individual and the individual responsibility,” (Kaplan 183). This is the foundation for high morals, integrity and honesty through the student’s life; the building blocks for the students future. My vision as a future elementary school educator depicts
