Theme 1CPD, reflective practice and
personal planning
• Look at theme 1 handbook
Extract from a reflective journal–teachers as moral models
Models of moral ed - v interesting -Will have to go back to Kohlberg
Prompts understanding of psychology eg cotswold community stuff
Can we appear moral etc but underneath be damaged?
Says you have to accept and challenge -
zone of proximal development really.
How do we know -we have to read faces /body language pick up signals about whether students are with us or not, enjoying it or struggling thinking or daydreaming - empathy with drive to extend real caring.
6/3/96
Skimmed through some interesting articles in Brit Journal of Ed psychology today
- on motivational aspects. Children need not only self-esteem but mastery of skills to achieve success - totally agree - (me)also teachers view of attainment must be 'open'
or no one can progress. To develop as people they must feel good about themselves and therefore they must gain success within the system which means differentiated work,
-specific needs met etc. has to be whole school approach. Which teachers best for this - need combination of open view of attainment, value all, rigorous pushing for
mastery of appropriate skills/knowledge which helps to build self-esteem-prepared to obtain, create resources on different levels at which children can work reasonably independently but with appropriate intervention of teacher.
Class teaching important because level of teacher intervention is very great during question/revision/probing etc. Exploring and extending knowledge . In teacher exposition at one level can be quite inappropriate.
Should I be looking at psychological tests or apptitude/psychometric tests.Skipped around yesterday when I read last section of models of moral
development.

Current issues for you in teaching and learning
• What has gone well, what are you pleased with?
• What problems have you faced?• How can you resolve them ?
• These are all issues you can discuss and relate to literature about teaching and learning in your diary
Example of a plan
• See separate sheet
Synoptic Statement – the story of what you understand you have
learned – analytical and critical – backed by evidence – practical and theoretical –linking learning from all
modules, observations, and teaching and learning
developments and how it will inform your future practice and
development
• Synthesise your own learning and the relationships of theory and practice and your reflections on them on the course in a reflective statement which explains where you began, your progress, your reflections on that progress and how your learning will impact on and feed back in to your future teaching and your own learning and development.
Extract from a statementIf someone had asked me 10 years ago whether I would consider
going into teaching I would have said no. Or at least I would not have considered it seriously. I slipped into it by accident, while researching for a PhD. About 6 years ago, one of my PhD supervisors happened to be very busy and wanted to attend a conference in Italy, so he asked me if I would cover a few tutorial sessions for him. All material was prepared. I would get paid on an hourly basis, and the rate was good. No, I could not go to Italy on his behalf. So I said yes! And the rest is history…
In the context of this highly reflective piece of work it is fitting to look at my own career as a learner in higher education. Brookefield (1995) observed that one’s manner of teaching is, to a great extent, a direct response to how one was taught.
We try to avoid producing the humiliations that were visited on us as learners, and try to replicate the things our own teachers did that affirmed or inspired us as learners.
Who does not want to be inspired? Who does not want to inspire others?
Now the challenge!!!(everyone make the sound of horses hooves
on the table)
Write a collaborative paperfor the Incubator Journal –or any
other journal
• “Delights and dangers in the teaching of law – perceptions of newcomers to the field”
• A fine start to a writing career
• We could submit it for a HEA conference
• Or the ALT incubator journal
• And you can all write more detailed, personal individual or group ones as well if you want….
