Quick Peek, First Thoughts
First 10 thoughts on personal teaching philosophy.
In particular, How do I want to teach? Where do I want to teach? Why do I want to teach? What do I want to teach?
1. Rich, authentic, real world, learning tasks
2. Skills embedded – learning journey documented
3. Student-driven /initiated (not withstanding some teacher manipulation if necessary)
4. Cooperative Learning Environment
5. Environment where students and teacher feels safe, heard, validated
6. Learning Intentions and Success Criteria shared with students (criteria often written together)
7. Students teaching students teaching teacher teaching students.
8. Independence encouraged, fostered
9. Life long learner (all of us, together)
10. Respect

I’d love to hear what this is all based on. You have some great thoughts here, but what’s the basis?
Is there research that backs up what you want to do and why?
If you implement all of this, will it work? How do you determine whether it’s effective or not?
These are challenging questions and you know how WONDERFUL I think you are, I’d just be curious to hear how you got to this point.
Your learning journey, documented, as it were
