EDFN 4131 – Psychological Foundations of Education

Instructions for Writing Assignment #1 (25 points)

(Educational Autobiography)

An educational autobiography offers the credential candidate an opportunity to reflect on 

their own experience as a student. For this writing assignment, you will be required to write a 

minimum 3 page (double spaced) autobiography about your experience from Kindergarten 

through high school, considering and including any and or all of the following:

? Academic content

? Administrator interactions

? Affinity groups (ethnicity/gender/sexual orientation/sports/social 

clubs/etc.,)

? Availability of community resources

? Community environment

? Cultural differences

? Family environment

? Family priorities

? Language(s)

? Learning/Special needs

? Peer relationships

? Socio-economic status (SES)

? Teacher/Coach interactions

? Unique awards and/or opportunities

? Other

This assignment should ONLY reflect your K-12 experience (traditional or non-

traditional), as your credential program prepares you to teach students in these grade levels. DO 

NOT include your college experience, or you will lose points. The goal is for you to reflect on 

this period of time in your life, considering the experiences that stayed with you and why you 

think that is.
