Personal teaching vision
MY TEACHING IS…
The occasion to…
… be moral: to be positive, to be peculiar, to be sure, generous, brave -
… to give because one HAS, not because one has nothing.
…to give to those who HAVE, who will join, who will make, who will fertilize.
…to create, to hybridize, to cross-pollenize -
…not to sterilize, to draw back, to fear, to dry up or to rot.
(adaptation of William Carlos Williams)
Creating…
…an effective psychological environment which encourages and enables autonomy, belonging, competency, well being and healthy self-talk
is awakening…
…the teacher in you.
…a vision just below the surface.
…a surprise, a journey, courage and discipline.
…a change-maker mentality.
Promoting…
…peer support and co-operation.
…dialogue, questioning and the focus on ones own progress as opposed to outdoing others.
…individual, specific, measurable, achievable, realistic goals with continual honest evaluation and encouragement.
