How would you write this in your own words , "An articulated philosophy that addresses the needs of children, families, educators and the community" ?

I could write it in MY own words -- but they wouldn't be YOUR own words. I'm sure your teacher does not want my words.

I don't necessarily get what the sentence means.

For one thing, it's not a complete sentence.

Look up all words that you are not crystal clear about -- http://www.answers.com -- and then let us know what YOU THINK it means.

In my own words, "An articulated philosophy that addresses the needs of children, families, educators and the community" can be understood as a well-defined set of beliefs and principles that aims to cater to the requirements of children, families, teachers, and the wider community. This philosophy openly discusses and provides guidance on matters that concern the well-being and development of children, the support and involvement of families, effective teaching practices for educators, and the overall welfare and engagement of the community.
