Being an Effective Educator in the 21st century 저자: Mind Map: Being an Effective Educator in the 21st century

1. My Professional Identity

1.1. John Dewey

1.1.1. responsibility

1.1.1.1. “responsible student teachers ask themselves why they are doing what they are doing in the classroom in a way that transcends questions of immediate utility and in light of educational purposes of which they are aware” (Grant and Zeichner, 1984, pp. 105)

1.1.2. openmindedness

1.1.2.1. "open mindedness, refers to an active desire to listen to more sides than one, to give full attention to alternate possibilities and to recognize the possibility of errors even in the beliefs that are dearest to us" (Grant and Zeichner, 1984, pp. 105)

1.1.3. wholeheartedness

1.1.3.1. “wholeheartedness: this refers to the fact that open mindedness and responsibility must be central components in the life of the reflective teacher and implies that prospective teachers who are reflective must take active control over their education as a teacher” (Grant and Zeichner, 1984, pp. 105)

1.1.4. Personal Reflection: Important to be self aware of these three attitudes, in order to be an reflective teacher for all students. I desire to approach students through this way, giving them more opportunities. Always being mindful and considerate in the classroom, not delivering any discrimination or assumptions.

1.2. Philosophies

1.2.1. Which philosophy would work the best for all students? Consider all the possibilities and situations

1.2.1.1. Perennialism

1.2.1.2. Essentialism

1.2.1.3. Existentialism

1.2.1.4. Social Reconstructionism

1.2.1.5. Progressivism

1.2.1.6. Personal Reflection: All of the philosophy of theories in prior to teaching are valued. However, I believe I head towards the between Progressivism and Essentialism. Both of the philosophies work the best in specific subjects. It is important for teachers as a professional to be the leader of the classroom and guide students in the best way possible. However, it is also critical for students to learn on their own and experience by themselves. Through group discussions and project based work, students go through the 3 E's and learn together without the teacher being a dictator.

1.3. Principles for Constructive

1.3.1. 1) You don't know what you don't know: Strive for Intellectual humility

1.3.2. 2) Everyone has an opinion. Opinions are not the same as informed knoweldge

1.3.3. 3) Let go of personal anecdotal evidence and look at broader societal pattenrs

1.3.4. 4) Notice your own defensive reactions, and attempt to use these reactions as entry points for gaining deeper self knoweldge

1.3.5. 5) Recognize how your social positionality (such as your own race , class, gender, sexuality, ability status) informs your reactions to your instructor and those whose work you study in the course

1.3.5.1. Sensoy DiAngelo, 2012, pp 166

1.4. Inquiry Based Learning

1.4.1. Students Learning, examples such as making their own commercials. Building something on their own

1.5. Active Based Learning

1.5.1. Actively Engaged learning, such as are the students moving? talking?

2. Ways in which I can serve as an agent of changes in classrooms

2.1. Cultural Responsiveness

2.1.1. "cultural is central to learning. It plays a role not only in communicating and receiving information, but also in shaping the thinking process of groups and individuals. A pedagogy that acknowledges, responds to, and celebrates fundamental cultures offers full, equitable access to education for students from all cultures" (Education Alliance, Brown University, 2006)

2.1.2. ICEBERG; understanding deep culture such as eye behaviour, approaches to problem solving, social interaction rate, arrangement of physical space and many more (Hanley, 1999, pp.2)

2.1.3. Personal Reflection: Being culturally aware and the diversity of students is extremely critical as a teacher. It is important to know the children's backgrounds in order to teach them. I take approach to understand my student's culture diversity and always respond in a sensitive manner. Because I came from a different culture than Canada, I will always be self conscious toward different cultures.

2.3. Building Relationships

2.3.1. What are some things as an educator can do to build relationships with your students?

2.3.1.1. Personal Reflection: Providing individual conversations and opportunities to all students in the classroom is a great way to understand students. Getting to know their parents is also one of the approaches to have a positive relationship. Focusing on student`s needs is the most important while teaching as well, such as checking if they had breakfast before coming to school.

2.4. "Fair is not always Equal"

3. Understanding the strucutre and insititution of Alberta's Education Government

3.1. The Government of Alberta

4. Current Issues in Education

4.1. Hidden curiculum

4.1.1.

4.2.3. Self Reflection: It is essential for educators to make sure that the classroom environment is safe and not harmful. Students should not worry or fear learning in the classroom. They should be able to freely express themselves. I feel very strongly about this issue and desire my classroom to be bullying free. I would like my students to feel excited about school and want them to be in a fun environment. I recognize that it is hard for students to open up to their teachers whenever there is a problem. Therefore, it is my job to build an relationships with every students.
