ideal for increasing pupil engagement. The pedagogic principle of personalising learning involves teachers making direct links to learning within the classroom and to the outside of the classroom (Berliner, 2011). I, therefore, consider personalised teaching an effective pedagogy. In regards to the UN Convention on the rights of the child Article 29 (UNICEF, n.d) education should have the intention to ‘develop every child’s personality, talents and abilities’, bearing this in mind, I wanted to…

with guidance is an excellent teaching tool. As an ALT, I want to encourage this type of behaviour as it builds a foundation of self-awareness, independence, and creativity, into the students. To achieve this, I would like to act as a guide to the students, organising, and guiding group work so they feel secure in developing their skills with support. Beyond this, I would also help the teacher by sharing information on students’ progress, further communicating the teaching aims and objectives,…

She goes through everything from how the teacher should look to disorders that may affect students. Out of the twelve chapters, chapters six and eight stuck out the most to me. Due to the reality of discipline being a necessity in the classroom, and how the light can impact the students’ ability to learn effectively. Chapter six, Discipline Is Not a Dirty…

good experience. I felt like what in the world did I get myself into. By the end of the day, I felt like I will never be a good teacher. I had no control over the children and felt like I could have done better. Reading this quote and the rest of “Teaching from Within”, made me feel better at becoming a teacher. I learned that we are going to have our good and bad days. I know that through it all I am going to have to suffer like the other day to end up having great days because it is something…

I have had the pleasure of teaching Jacob in class for two years; in Pre-Calculus as a sophomore and currently as a junior in AP Calculus AB. Jacob's greatest strength in class is his inquiring attitude. He has a unique ability to analyze and reflect on the problem-solving process.

When I give his assessments back, Jacob critically examines his mistakes…
