I would also tie in the school beliefs with my beliefs and hopefully show how they match. I wouldn't provide a hard copy. Your teaching philosophy is something you should know by heart because its what you truly believe in.

Learning takes place in many different circumstances and contexts. Although everyone is capable of learning, a student's desire to learn is a vital pre-condition to effectively mastering new concepts and skills. Humans have multiple learning styles: some learn best in lecture atmospheres, some are motivated by discussion, and others absorb best when they read and reflect on what they have read. The classroom setting can encourage or inhibit learning depending on the dominant learning style of each student. Accommodating different learning styles creates an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. Students take many of their learning habits from the instructor. If the instructor doesn't show interest in the subject and a passion for learning, students are less likely to put forth the effort to learn in that class. An instructor must convince students of his or her knowledge and expertise before they will show a willingness to learn.

These four main statements is helpful guide line in answering this question. There is no hard copy but you should practice answering these questions just in case it really is asked in a future interview.

I would not provide a copy of it because it should evolve and grow just as you evolve and grow as an educator. Additionally, I think it is important to recognize that sometimes your approach will differ as each set of students are different. I would also try to incorporate how my philosophy aligns with the school's. The administrators are seeking educators that will mesh with their establishment.

I would also plan to have a philosophy written up to hand to the interviewer along with your resume.
