EEE701 and EPR751 Assignment 2. Teachers engage in professional discussion. Teachers reflect on, evaluate and improve their professional knowledge and practice and engage in discussion of contemporary issues and research in education (VIT 2009). The professional discussion and discourse around education is something that has fascinated me since I have been exposed to this world. Since beginning this unit I have been reading blogs ( Twitter. Adam vs the Man. Etc), reading websites ( TED. June 21st, 2011.

Inspired Teacher: January 2010

http://inspiredteacher.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 31, 2010. A few weeks ago I cut up an avocado for a salad. Leal, my two-year-old, was helping to put the pieces in a bowl. When I threw the skin and seed into the compost bucket, he started to protest. So I took them out and put them back on the counter. With incredible attention and focus he studied the leathery skins and showed me with amusement how they were different on each side. Then he set those down and picked up the seed with a huge grin. “Ball! When I think about the trajectory ...

Tuesday, April 28, 2009. After the video, staff members jotted the comments posted below and engaged in a lively discussion. 8220;Many Indian students ‘escape’ the challenges of Indian schools to study in the U.S. schools. The academics here are less rigorous and come easier yet with more prestige. Why does the level of difficulty not directly correlate with the prestige and notoriety? 8220;Whose privilege is it to take risks? 8220;How much of this video is propaganda? 8220;While many, many school system...

Inspired Teacher: October 2010

http://inspiredteacher.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Monday, October 11, 2010. The Meaning and Measure of Teacher Quality. For example, an Inspired Teacher can get the same high test scores as an uninspired drill sergeant – what differs is what that teacher did with students to achieve those scores. At a U.S. House Education and Labor Committee hearing earlier this year scholars and senators alike wrestled with what it means to be a quality teacher, and that age old question: Are good teachers born or made? A commitment to ongoing professional growth, and.

Sunday, April 25, 2010. School was a challenge for my brother. Reports cards often included statements like:. 8220;behavior remains a problem for Andrew”. 8220;it is a challenge for him to sit still”. 8220;he is working on keeping his hands to himself and not talking so much”. 8220;he struggles to stay focused on the task at hand”. Perhaps it is more accurate to say my brother was a challenge for his schools. At home, keeping my brother out of trouble was not hard. Supply him with interesting books a...
