Like most of my classmates, I have no idea how exactly I would like to moderate or what kind of moderator I want ti be. However, seeing the various teaching philosophies assured me that everyone has their own style when it comes to these types of things. Each teaching philosophy was clear and explained the duties and goals of each teacher clearly. I would like to do the exact same thing in my moderator’s philosophy. I especially liked Professor Willitz philosophy. He explained that there is no secret formula to teaching but rather one’s success in the field depended on the effort you put into the job and your interaction with students. I think that in order to be a good moderator it will ultimately depend on my people skills. Also, I have to be sure to outline not only my strengths and weaknesses but also what I liked most about moderating. I think that the things that make a strong philosophy is one that answers all of the framing questions clearly and also has the personal element imbedded in it.
I’ve been thinking of some things that I can put into my moderator’s philosophy:
- Why I am moderating
- What makes me want to do it
- My strengths and weaknesses
- How this experience will help me in the future
- What I have learned from being a moderator
