Every citizen should have equal opportunities in this society to engage in public education. This cultural value has been implicit in the very formation of our educational system. A social and technological revolution has ensued, having serious implications for the educational system. Among the social changes is continuing immigration making this the most diverse society ever existing on Earth. This diversity is mirrored in the microcosm of the educational system too.
Students come to college from various ethnic, financial, and academic backgrounds.
A challenge for the educational system is to meet unique individual needs, thus inviting more citizens to become our students. Technology also is changing the life of every citizen. Personal computers, the World Wide Web, and email are tools that can aid in achieving personal and profession success. Most technology is just a form of information system. A teaching philosophy is a summative reflection of one s beliefs concerning many facets in education.
