Teaching And Learning And The Australian Practice Standards For Teachers

1763 Words8 Pages

My emergent philosophy of teaching and learning surrounds two notions. These are that provision of feedback in both directions (teacher and student dynamic) is integral to the learning process, and that teachers should conduct themselves to be a good example for students. To best elaborate on these notions, this discursive essay will be separated into two sections explaining each notion with regards to my newfound experience within education, the relevance to learning theories, the Griffith dimensions of learning and the Australian Practice Standards for Teachers (APST). From an overall summarizing statement perspective, my philosophy is engrained in the belief that both teachers and students bring many experiences and elements of knowledge …show more content…

It seems that the feedback loop allows students to reflect on both strengths and weaknesses, in order to place focus on setting realistic goals for improvement. The theory of multiple intelligences proposed by Howard Hardener, is engrained in the belief that human have several ways of processing information (Morgan, 2021). An ongoing dialogue between teachers and students provides an opportunity for both verbal and written modalities for communication exchange, supporting the beliefs of Hardener’s theory of multiple …show more content…

For myself, this notion is best articulated by John Maxwell’s (Youthdoit.org, n.d.) quote of “Leaders become great not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others.”. I believe that a teacher’s role in a student’s life holds a profound influence, not solely as an educator but also a role model, it is crucial for teachers to acknowledge this influence and accept the responsibility to shape and develop values, beliefs, and aspirations.
I believe that teachers through their own actions can largely impact the character development of their students. Whether it be the display of integrity, honesty, or respect during interactions, this modelled behaviour can serve as a powerful tool for student character development. These interactions are a great display and an example of Standard 7 of APST, “Engage professionally with colleagues, parents/carers and the community” (AITSL, 2011). Students, when observing a teacher’s behaviour have the option to analyse and internalise these qualities, allowing them to emulate these learned behaviours in their own lives. When teachers display and conduct professionalism in the classroom with regard to teaching content in a knowldegagble fashion this depicts the expectation of Standard 2, “Know the content and how to teach it”,

During adolescence, I sat in dilapidated classrooms without fully functional lighting and materials, and was taught by dispassionate teachers—I was even called stupid by an 8th grade teacher. This experience has not only prepared me, but also taught me that leadership and compassion is the way to get through to students, especially those who are having issues with comprehension and motivation. Even as an adult, I struggle to come to terms with the notion that I am squandered potential, and I am left, at an older age, to discover who I want to be and what mark I will leave on this Earth. Without having the support of teachers and administrators who cared about my success, I often think about how far I would have been propelled in life. What would I be able to accomplish?

The following self-reflective statement outlines my personal philosophy on teaching and learning within the context of demonstrating the Australian Professional Standards for Teachers. Throughout the Internship I have endeavoured to learn and develop my teaching practice to improve outcomes for students and the school community. My teaching philosophy encompasses the view that children are capable and diverse learners who arrive to the classroom with a range of prior knowledge and learning preferences. In order to value what my students bring to the classroom, extensive profiling assisted in understanding certain characteristics of each student that contributes to their learning.

In “The Lesson” and in “Commencement Speech, Kenyon College.”, the teacher 's attempt to open up the kids’ minds to the “rat race” that many people find themselves in and only want to help the children for their future. Although people question teaching methods and want to only have their own ideals put into their child’s mind, there are things that every person should be aware of and teachers are the people who can be sure that every child is aware of the world around them in order to live a better

In order to advance the development of my professional identity, I must reflect upon my observation of pedagogical practices. My understanding of the behaviourist, cognitive and humanist approaches to learning allow me to elect what strategies I intend to use throughout my teaching career and thus, enhance my teaching philosophy. Appealed by the sense of service, I am becoming a teacher in order to make a palpable difference in the lives of my students. How I conduct myself as a teacher will be directly influenced by these learning theories and therefore, I must appropriately select how I will adapt each theory to my classroom. From the three theories, I am most familiar with the humanist approach to learning.

Education and Learning Philosophy As a prospective educator, I align curricular ambitions for achievement with a consideration for the unique identities of those whom I will be teaching. I gravitate substantially toward the care pedagogy approach to education. By incorporating care pedagogy into the classroom, opportunities for relationship building amongst the educator and the students can be supported. I will concentrate on guiding my actions and decisions based on the expressed needs of my students, regardless if the indicated need stems from a positive or negative origin.

"There's us in this classroom, and then there's them." That's the attitude taught to my peers and I from our first AP class. My teacher was talking about the vast gap between students at the top -with the best grades and highest goals- and those at the bottom. Perhaps the most important part of my educational career was the teachers who instilled a sense of willingness to learn and passion in me; however, I wondered what factors caused such a gap to be made. Students were always praised for their achievements, consequently, we utilize praise, but forget the constructive criticism that allows us to grow.

“Be the teacher you want your kids to have” was a statement made during convocation several years ago. That one statement made by Dr. Ryder Warren has stuck with me and made a profound impact on my teaching style. As a new teacher, your perspective on students is somewhat naïve, you’ve heard about differentiation and you have been to professional development for it, but you really feel that all students want to do their best and learn as much as possible. As your years of experience grow, you begin to see the variety of learners and abilities within your classroom and begin to see how crucial differentiation is.

Likewise, the Multiple Intelligence (MI) theory is also a very useful model for developing any systematic approach for nurturing and training learners and respecting their individual needs and strengths within a classroom setting. According to Emmer and Evertson (2009) multiple intelligence aids teachers in easily creating more personalized and diversified instructional experiences. It offers the teachers to help students become empowered by extending and promoting cognitive bridging techniques based on the seven intelligences, by fostering in them a deep metacognitive understanding and advancing suggestions for a broad array of skills and techniques to deal with different types of learners. This theory is summarized by Howard Gardner in his book Frames of Mind (2006) namely: Linguistcs, Logical Mathematical, Spatial, Musical, Bodily Kinesthetic, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal. Using these techniques can help create ‘instructional bridges’ into difficult concepts.

This is best exemplified by Albert Einstein who once stated, “Any fool can know. The point is to understand”. Spanning from childhood to now, the lessons learned from my teachers have shaped me into the person I am today. Success can be attributed to both the effectiveness and failings of our role models. This model may be demonstrated through a variety of sources including the effective teacher, the poor supervisor, and the absent caretaker.

Feedback is a significant element in determination of education quality as well as in effective learning where it portrays the learning outcomes for students and the successes for the tutors. There are many aspects that concern educationists with regards to feedback but the relationship between perspectives of learning as well as teaching and feedback stands as the most important among them. Feedback should be conveyed in different modes in a learning environment but whatever mode chosen creates room for dialogue between the tutor and students. Therefore, it is only through feedback that the student engagement relationship with the feedback as well as the tutors’ perceptions of learning, teaching and assessment that such successes can be established.
