Being a Teacher During a Crisis - Trevor Muir

Being a Teacher During a Crisis - Trevor Muir | Daily Magazine | Scoop.it
From trevormuir.com - March 15, 2020 6:32 AM
As educators, we hold a captive audience with our students. Our fear becomes our students’ fear, and our calm becomes their calm. Of course this is a burden that we have to carry. When most of us signed up to be teachers or administrators, we didn’t think that we would have to lead our students through events like 9/11, natural disasters, school shootings, and pandemics. But we do, and the reality is that this a burden we have to carry. We hold captive audiences whether we like it or not.

Angélica Osorio Castillo's curator insight, March 15, 2020 2:07 PM
As educators, we need to understand that we are a role for the students and in moment of crisis, the things that we feel become the things that they are going to feel, so if we express fear the students will feel fear and if we express calm, the students will feel calm. That is why I think that is very important to know how to react on special situations since we don´t know what is going to happen tomorrow and today everything can be fine and in calm; however, everything can change in a second. As educators, we don´t only teach, we are also a safe place for some students and whether we like it or not, we hold captive audiences.

A personal philosophy of principled eclecticism for language teaching

Shona Whyte:

Scott Douglas, assistant professor at the University of British Columbia, teaches English as an Additional Language (EAL), particularly EAP (English for Academic Purposes).

 

He's taken the time to write up a personal philosophy of education, detailing how and why he teaches the way he does.  He covers constructivism, Freire and Krashen, as well as critical thinking.

 

An interesting read, and a useful exercise for individual professional development as well as for teacher training classes.

Maker education is currently a major trend in education. But just saying that one is doing Maker Education really doesn't define the teaching practices that an educator is using to facilitate it.
