Thank you for agreeing to consider my CV and please feel free to share it with other leaders at Griffith University. Let me begin by providing a narrative of where my career is at present in relation to my Research profile, Teaching philosophy, and Leadership experience to show the depth and breadth of my experience.

In the book Pearson Custom Education, five educational philosophies are discussed and what each one represents what a teaching and learning is distinctive to each other and some of them is easily observable in nowadays moment when in contrast, some of them are rarely to be seen. The first among the five philosophies is essentialism. It is a teacher centered philosophy which “puts little stock in what students want in terms of what and how they learn” (Powell, 2015, p.71). There are requirements for
child’s learning ability and influence the learning strategies that employ? Our society these days are divided into two different ways of thinking on the education.

course I am in gave me so much useful information as to how to respond to students, maintain control of the classroom, and prepare myself for the beginning of the year. I still don’t feel completely confident in this area because I am missing the practice piece. However, I feel that I have the knowledge I need to prepare me for situations in the classroom. I also feel more prepared to work with diverse populations after my field experience in an ELL classroom this semester. I am closer to reaching
Self-Assessment Creating and implementing this unit on division for this diverse fifth grade class was able to help me grow as an educator. While there were many strengths from this unit, there was also some areas of growth that could have been made in order to make the unit even more successful. One major strength from this unit was the differentiation of instruction and assessments. An area of growth for this unit would be to create a stronger behavior management system in order to make the time
for critically reflecting upon their practice. No person every stops learning, so no matter how long someone has been teaching, time must be given to reflect upon their
principle qualities of a good teacher. Interestingly, as part of the SKE course I was given the opportunity to spend some time in a college, observing and assisting in lessons to students that needed to retake their GSCE exams. The main method of teaching in these classes was purely instrumental, with the goal to equip the students with the knowledge to pass their GSCE exams but without any deeper understanding of the methods. No emphasis was put on

After each day, I take time to think about how the lessons for the day went and what I could do to improve as a teacher.
