Explain how theory(ies), worldview(s) and/or pedagogical approach(es) influence each one of the key components.

Part 1: Mind map
Mind maps help us organize our thoughts and gather all required information prior to writing it out in a succinct manner. Reflect on your views, beliefs and values about teaching and learning, class discussions, readings from this and other courses and placement experiences. Keeping in mind the key ideas outlined below, use a tool such as Pictochart, Power Point, Prezi, Bubbl or another digital tool to create a mind map of your philosophy.
Key ideas are to be explored separately or together:
•Your image of the child
•The image and role of the educator
•Your view of families and communities
•Your view of the environment

Within your mind map, include references to literature and personal experiences that impact(ed) your values and beliefs. Explain how theory(ies), worldview(s) and/or pedagogical approach(es) influence each one of the key components.
Your mind map should be as detailed as possible and demonstrate interconnections between all key ideas.

Part 2: Written Philosophy of Teaching and Learning
Once the mind map is complete, write an essay styled philosophy of teaching and learning. Incorporate all the key ideas and examples from your mind map in a clear, well written and succinct manner.
