Teaching & projects

I am a teacher educator because I want to change the world. While I realise what I hope to accomplish is limited; I know education is where I can have the greatest impact. I want my students to understand who they are and the professional world they will inhabit, the school, is not immutable. These specify what the I like my students to do, value, or feel at the completion of an instructional segment.  As future teachers they can make a difference and their classrooms can be healthy, supportive environments in which their own students can grow and learn. I wholeheartedly endorse what the Russian educational psychologist L. S. Vygotsky said about learning; it is socially constructed. Thus, my students need opportunities to collaborate with each other, as well as with me, to learn and gain expertise about the act of teaching. To be effective teachers, my students must have the opportunity to take responsibility for becoming life-long learners. This means sharing with others what they learn about teaching and realising all the things they have not yet discovered. I want my students to become empowered by their own learning and development as teachers. I create situations where students can take charge for what they learn and how it applies in their classrooms. Finally, I want students to realise that they do not teach subjects but rather people. My goal is to teach the whole person, i.e., the cognitive, affective, and behavioural dimensions of the human being.
