It is okay to subscribe to more than one ideology.

It is natural for your teaching philosophy to change over time as you gain new experience.

Changes in ideology can be mapped 5 different ways - called life histories.

1. Life history as a trip

2. Life history as a set of influences

3. Life history as a composite of ideologies

4. Life history as a portrayal of internal change

5. Life history as a vector analysis of influences on an educator

Different situations demand solutions from different ideologies.

Ideologies can shift between subjects.

For example an educator teaching math could take a more scholar academic approach and then shift to a social reconstructionist perspective while teaching history.

We can change our ideologies to better serve our current students and their needs.

The most effective teachers are chameleons.
