Term 3 and Term 4, 2015
As educators, we strive for the best! We want our knowledge and skills to bring about personal satisfaction in knowing that what we deliver, on a daily basis, is as good as we can make it. Our job is to ensure that every classroom in which we step, is 'inclusive'. To that end, we must remember the following 'Professional Standards for Teachers":
1.5 Differentiate teaching to meet the specific learning needs of students across the full range of abilities
1.6 Strategies to support full participation of students with disability
4.1 Support student participation
When we accept the weighty responsibility of playing a part in the overall education plan for children and young people, we accept the challenge associated with it.
Make Term 4 an opportunity for you to deliver your 'personal best' in the educational environment. Set your realistic, teaching goals and learning intentions with enthusiasm and determination, and enjoy the 'ripple effect'.
