On a scale of 1-4, 1 strongly disagreeing and 4 strongly agreeing, rate the following:

1. The purpose of educational philosophy is to help me and other prospective teachers understand how past experts have thought about teaching. 2
2. Children should learn morals in the home. Teaching morals in school is not part of my job. 2
3. As a teacher, my primary goal should be to help students master essential content rather than to help them develop emotionally and socially. 2
4. Our nation's schools should focus on teaching students to think and solve problems in the real world. 3
5. I should encourage my students to think about their personal role in making the world a better place. 3
