This assignment will critically analyse and reflect on the poster, highlighting on the five relevant roles of my professional development as a teacher. It will further provide me with a framework in which the context of the poster (Appendix1) can set relevance, on how these roles can be experienced within the classroom environment of teaching and learning by linking different theories and strategies into practice. The theme of this poster reflects on the Plato’s theory of “Allegory of the cave”
this paper, I decided to focus my attention on one population that I am potentially interested in working with, which are high school students. The first person I interviewed was a ninth-grade counselor at Alain Leroy Locke College Prepartory Academy. The second person I interviewed was a College Adviser, placed through USC, at Diego Rivera Learning Complex. While the first interview was conducted on site at Locke, the second interview was conducted on campus at USC. For both interviews, I came equipped

Teachers play an important role in society. They are responsible for educating children, the leaders of tomorrow. A teacher is recognised as one of the most influential people involved within the development of a child, responsible for the imparting of both social and academic knowledge. As an aspiring teacher it is important to reflect and critique on the professional identity of a teacher. We must understand the standards that are expected of teachers by revising policies such as the Melbourne
When entering the middle school profession, it is important to remember who we are there to serve, the students who are there to learn. When looking at this I cannot help but think of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, and more importantly how as an educator, I can serve those needs more effectively. With students growing up more rapidly than ever before, teachers must strive to understand their swinging emotions, test their moral boundaries, and challenge them in their learning. It is safe to say that
from being the person they dream of becoming. Whether it is selfishness, laziness, or a physical disability, we must face them to overcome them. Moving to a new country and being surrounded by shadows, there are many obstacles to face, many walls to be jumped. On the other hand, if you never try to jump that wall, you will never get over. The wall will always be there until you face it and once you get over that wall, another load will be lifted off your shoulders. Despite the fact that there will
is my determination and patience. If something does not go to plan, I am disappointed for a moment, but I am quick to come up with a new plan to try. I think this will be especially useful in the classroom, especially since each day might not be a great day. I am confident that I will be able to take on the challenge and work to provide the best instruction possible for my students (even if it means foregoing my original plans!) I also think my patient attitude will be helpful in conjunction with
different ways a teacher can run his or her classroom, but if you don’t find the right approach for you it will never be successful. There are nine different way to manage a classroom Authoritarian, Authoritative, Intimidation, Permissive, Cookbook, Instructional, Behavioral Modification, Socioemotional Climate, and Group Process. When deciding what management, styles is best for you one must abjectly look at all the facts about each teaching style and say this is the kind of teacher I want to be and
Kincheloe states that. “The analysis of teacher thinking is the study of cultural context, of power relations- in other words politics” (1). Kincheloe’s goal in this reading is to characterize teacher thinking by examining social and historical forces that have shaped teaching, and to understand who benefits and who is punished when it is defined in specific ways. Kincheloe also discussed in the reading that the separation of mind and matter has profound and unfortunate consequences. This view led
There is an over simplified generalisation often bandied about in Westernised countries that belittles the job of teachers. The phrase goes along the lines of “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.” While the argument against this statement could fill pages the reality is that teaching is by far one of the most demanding but fulfilling jobs in the world. Teaching may be a job that requires a university degree and some on the job training; however effective teaching is a continual process of
