As a teacher, my primary responsibility is to ensure that learners are enrolled onto the correct course, in terms of meeting their needs, abilities and aspirations.

Reflective practice is important to the development of lecturers as professionals as it enables us to learn from our experiences of teaching and make easier student learning. Developing reflective practise means developing ways of reviewing our own teaching so that it becomes a routine and a process by which we might continuously develop.

Assignment - Module ES537 Classroom Mediation Skills 2010-2011 Introduction My chosen topic for this assignment is “Behaviour for Learning – promoting a positive classroom climate for learning”. I have chosen this as my subject firstly because I truly believe that a properly established classroom environment facilitates and encourages participative learning through understanding and motivation. The classroom can be modelled into a centre of learning and development by the introduction of critical elements that promote Teacher and Pupil interaction and develop respect and understanding of individual objectives. The following are examples of characteristics I believe to be necessary for the development of such a climate where behaviour for learning is the focus of all. 1) Establish rules for the Group that create an atmosphere for learning and address issues before they develop.
I am attracted to the opportunity of maintaining my ability to work professionally as a Secondary Science Teacher in the local community and to continue my own knowledge in the field of Master of Arts in Education with a Principal certification. I believe that my continued educational and professional background in science and secondary education will be highly appropriate for the long term goal of becoming a grade school principal. It will also help in the grooming of our youth into highly productive members of their societies who are able to utilize their own skills in today’s fast paced living. I seek to become an accomplished and supportive leader by playing a significant community role by positively
The humanism conceptual framework is evident in the principles of the New Zealand Curriculum Framework (NZCF), whereby the teacher has the flexibility to develop classroom programme in accordance of the learning needs and styles of the students, and the acknowledgement that individual students will develop their essential skills to different degrees and at individual rates (MOE, 1993, pgs. 7, 17). Doyle (1990) sees this teaching approach as one which the teacher is knowledgeable about the ways that people learn and grow and involves working on developing a personal teaching style by examining individual attitudes and
As a student, in the beginning of my professional career, writing reflection seems a sensible idea to record learning experience. The early stages of any career would play important role in learning as one settles into the ways of profession. The complex part is recognizing such experience and implementing on practice. In this reflection, I will be discussing about the role play we have had last week in our classroom. Gibbs (1998) reflective cycle will be utilized as it illustrates a clear structure for the process of reflection which includes six main stages; description of the event, feelings, evaluation, description (analysis to make sense of the experience) conclusion and action plan (Jasper, 2003) respectively.
