Raising Issues and Questions

As a start to raising issues and questions in my educational practice I took a few moments to think about my own professional context.

Concerns about what goes on…

  • No mentoring/training for new or inexperienced teachers
  • Students seem, at times, unmotivated
  • Lack of professional development
  • little communication between upper management and teachers

Things I am unhappy with…

  • Management decisions lack planning and analysis
  • Heavy work loads for teachers
  • lack of teacher support
  • lack of student discipline

Practices I am unsure of…

  • Beginning lessons with a short statement of goals.
  • Whether technology is more beneficial in student understanding.
  • creating self disciplined students

Things which challenge me…

  • Differentiation of different levels of ability within one class
  • Teaching English content to ESL students
  • Enabling students to take responsibility for their growth in learning
  • Providing systematic feedback and corrections
