My Core values and beliefs
-Supportive
-Caring
-Value learner's best interests
What type of teacher do I want to be
Value
Teachers should not label pupils on their attainment as this could put a limit on children’s learning.
I'm on square table which means I am not very clever...
I'm on hexagon table which means i'm really smart!
Belief
pupils should view mistake-making as a positive opportunity for new learning and growth.
Being number one on interntional league tables
We need to change the way pupils view their ability
Don't worry, it means you're learning!
Value
Talk is central in the classroom as it can have enhancing effects on pupils learning
If pupils are not guided through how to construct exploratory talk and not given opportunities to practice this form of talk...
Using exploratory talk, this course has enabled me to:
Challenge other people's thinking
Enhance or shift my thoughts
Obtain ideas I couldn't have had alone
