Notes de l'éditeur
- How many years have you been teaching? Name 2 ways your teaching has changed. Looking at Paul’s history, what in your opinion are the 2 changes that brought the most benefit?
- What Curriculum do you have? What are its advantages / disadvantages? What assumptions do the following curricula have? What do they tell you about what it means to “learn” the subject and become an expert in it? A salsa class, with no levels, that teaches different moves, but often repeats moves A community college class, where you work to create an artwork at the end of 13 weeks A swimming class with three levels, beginners, middle and advanced. You get to decide with the help of the teacher, what class you want to go in A day long CPR course, which ends with a test on the contents and you receive a certificate for A year long History subject in High school with monthly tests and a general test at the end of the year, testing the information learnt. What does the Sedgman curriculum tell you about what it means to learn English? What can be the advantages / disadvantages of this?
- List the following aspects of a certificate in importance for you: It should be beautiful It should be meaningful (It should be clear what it represents) It should be as public as possible It should be authoritative (the brands or signatories should be important) What are the positives / negatives of issuing certificates? What could the positives / negatives be of the Sedgman certificate?
- Who knows if you are doing a good job? Who knows if you are doing a bad job? How do they know this (mechanism)? In what ways are you supported or do you get feedback? What about your students? How are they accountable? To what extent do the Sedgman reports reflect the teaching/learning that is going on? What can the yearly report tell you about English in Sedgman?
