6. Spelling
Comments: Only one error. In
paragraph 6, access often should
be assess often or assessing
often. Access does not really
make sense in that sentence.

7. Grammar
Comments:
Several errors regarding comma
placement or lack of commas where
needed. A few run-on sentences that
could be broken into two sentences.

Overall, you have great ideas in your philosophy. Be sure to show ownership of your philosophy. For
example, in paragraph 6 tell what YOU are going to do, NOT what teachers do. This is your philosophy
with your ideas. In paragraph 3, instead of the phrase know how, use knowledge of welding. In
paragraph 4, you need to make two sentences where it says This applies to learning styles. As a teacher,
I will. Remember in paragraph 6 that teachers do not learn. They teach. Students learn. Paragraph 7 is
a little confusing. I think a few sentences need to be reworded in order to make better sense. Instead of
the phrase gotten it down in paragraph 7, you could say An example would be observing the students
weld to assess if they have mastered the process and if not, reteach the proper techniques.
