When Reflecting On The Challenges That I Face As A Teacher,

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

I am standing there, one hand around the shoulders of a friend. My other hand, clutching a diploma and a bouquet of pink and white roses. The sun is beaming down on my brunette hair making it appear light and creating a glow off the top of my head. I can see the happiness not only spread across my face in an ear to ear grin but by the way my eyes are squinting so very little. The warm light balancing out the photo reminds me of the summer time that was creeping up on us ever so slowly. Then, I was

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”

Career and Leadership Goals The ultimate career position I am pursuing is to become a Building Principal. When I first started teaching, being a principal was not something that I desired to be. I loved watching the “light bulb” go off for students that finally got it. I also loved changing the lives of those that was entrusted in my care while at school. I have always believed being a principal was a huge responsibility. Its takes a special person to take time out of their life to do the work

by considering the surface of own feelings, thoughts, and emotions. Structural reflecting is helpful in solving problems. Reflecting can be useful in different contexts such as a football coach reflecting after a match, a teacher reflecting on a lesson. It is important to identify the aim of reflecting. The aim is helpful to evaluate the condition to understand the ongoing situation and its future changes. Reflecting can be used as a part of the learning process which helps to measure the progress

ways. Reflection-in-action is reflecting on the work being done while the individual is doing the action and the decisions being made while the action is being done. Reflection-on-action is the reflection after the action has been done to analyze if the action was successful or unsuccessful (Reflection, 2010). Furthermore, and while in practice 111, we will apply reflective practice as we work with clients to reflect on their problems, goals, and motivations. Reflecting will allow the social worker

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
