Here are some key media pieces that show what is important to me as a teacher.
Languages are very important to me. I think a lot of culture is embedded in language so it is important that we learn even just pieces of other languages.
In one of our classes we created our own storybooks. This demonstrates how I will need to be creative as a teacher.
In one of our classes we had a “Teacher Toolbox Sharing Day.” To me this demonstrates how collaborative teaching is and how we can all share the great resources we find and create.
Empathy is the ability to understand others’ points of views and feelings. As a teacher I will need to have empathy for my students, and I hope I can inspire skills of thinking of others in my students.
Global connectivity is a concept that is close to my heart. Every day Canada accepts immigrants and this means that as teachers we will have to be conscious of the diversity in our classrooms and how to create an inclusive environment.
