1) Experience, Conceptualize, Apply (ECA)............................................. Be it Music, English or Maths, one of the things I would advocate in my teaching is ECA. As a student, my daily routine in class only consisted of conceptualising key ideas in a topic, applying them in the form of worksheets/tests etc, and then moving on to a new topic and the process is repeated. The experience part is often compromised due to "lack of time". However, students need that experience to construct their knowledge and teachers would also need to informally assess and observe during the experience part to know if students are in the zone of proximal development (ZPD).................................................................................. 2) Never shortchange the students......................................................... From my first teaching experience as a contract teacher, I have met many teachers who were often not in school. Many of them do not have ready-made lessons that substitute teachers could deliver as well. This resulted in many "lost periods" which may be detrimental to student's future learning if the teacher tries to rush the syllabus as a result of the "lost periods". Whether the teacher is on sick leave, or have urgent important matters to attend to, I feel that students should not be shortchanged. I will strive to create ready-made lessons, those that students will have the motivation to complete and learn. This would mean that it is not just assigning work from workbooks etc. But things such as problem-based learning. Getting students to form groups and collaborate to find answers to certain questions. Ultimately, my aim is to improve the schooling experience of every student that I come across. In doing that, I hope to value-add their lives as well.
