At this point in time, we have not been given any instructions on how to construct a document concerning this subject in my education classes.  As such, I only have the phrase "Philosophy of Education" with which to work.  I will do my best to find the beginnings of a philosophy in the terminology itself, specifically the Greek terms for philosophy of education.

"Educare"

This is the Greek term from which we derive the word "Educate."  It basically means "to bring forth."  From this we can assume that to educate is "to bring forth" a child into the world.  Education is the process of preparing a child for the world.

"Philos"+"Sophia"

These two words combine to create the word "Philosophy" in modern English.  "Philos" basically means "to love," and "Sophia" means "Wisdom."  Thus, the word philosophy means "to love wisdom."  Now, the phrase "to love" works different in Greek and English.  We use one term, and the Greeks use three.  The three Greek terms are "eros," "phileo," and "agape."  "Eros" is physical love, and useless to the current discussion.  "Agape" is a romance term, and occasionally a religious term.  It basically means "true love."  "Phileo," which is the term connected to our conversation means "to have an attraction to, to be drawn to."  Therefore, the full connotation of philosophy is "to be drawn to wisdom."

"Philos"+"Sophia"+"Educare"

If we combine these three terms, we find a simple phrase:  "to be drawn to wisdom to bring forth."  Therefore, we have two elements to a proper Philosophy of Education.  The word Philosophy is teacher-centered.  It refers to my professional and skills development, or, my draw towards wisdom:  "teaching ability."  Education is student-centered.  The purpose of my work is to prepare students for the world and to enlighten their minds.  Therefore, my philosophy as a teacher is that I should constantly work towards improving my abilities as a teacher so I can be properly prepared to help all of my students achieve the highest level of success they possibly can reach.
