STANDARD 6 ENGAGE IN PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
Engage with colleagues and improve practice
6.3.3 initiate and engage in professional discussions with colleagues in a range of forums to evaluate practice directed at improving professional knowledge and practice, and the educational knowledge of students. This source was taken from inplace, documenting my overall practical experience at Aquinas College Menai during my 4 week placement in the 3rd year. It highlights my professional interaction with other teachers in the department as well as students in the classroom. Throughout the practical i was able to talk to colleagues and adjust my teaching style and approach to improve my overall teaching effectiveness. Professional practice, more specifically professional interaction with colleagues and students are crucial. Professional practice must always be maintained, not only in the classroom or staff rooms at school, but anywhere in public. Teachers should interact with students professionally, while trying to steer clear of befriending students, as that can cause the loss of respect in the classroom. As a result, teachers should display a tough but fair approach. |
