The
five elements that are embedded into my teaching are knowing that all tauira
come with different abilities, valuing ourselves as teachers, having reciprocal
respect, good digital citizenship and tolerance and understanding.
TAUIRA
COME WITH DIFFERENT ABILITIES.
The
beginning of a school year, tauira come into the classroom with different
abilities and different stages of educations, and that’s okay. It is our job as
their educators in school to help develop that abilities.
VALUING
OURSELVES AS TEACHERS
As
teachers, it is so important that we value ourselves as teachers in knowing
that we know wat we are teaching is right and for us that is enough. We are
always able to develop ourselves professionally and personally.so we are can
improve our way of teaching. Going to RTLB meetings and Autism courses was
valuable knowledge for me in knowing how to work with troubled children in the classroom.
RECIPROCAL
RESPECT
Teaching
respect is a whanau responsibility but developing that respect and encouraging
it in classroom is a teacher’s job. I believe in showing respect toward tauira
will be reciprocal. I saw this is in my placement. When the teacher has the
students respect, that student is trusted to do certain jobs around the
classroom.
GOOD
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
With
today’s children, they are using technology more than ever. Either using a
tablet or computer at home and school. It is both the teachers and the whanau
responsibility to make sure that tauira are using their devices with respect
for everyone online.
TOLERERNCE
AND UNDERSTANDING
With
classrooms being more and more diverse culturally, it is key to have tolerance
and understanding in a classroom. It is amazing to see the different cultures
that are celebrated. I saw this during my placement. One day the entire school
celebrated a Culture Day. The students came to school dressed in traditional
costumes and had the ability to share what their dress means and when it
usually worn. Having that understanding allowed respect and tolerance towards
each other and their different cultures.
