What drives students to take up teaching? New study explores aspirations and challenges faced by prospective teachers in Japan

The Need for Competent and Empathetic Educators in Our Schools 📚👩🏫 As a fourth-year Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English student, I've had the opportunity to learn from many instructors, each with their own unique teaching styles. Unfortunately, not all experiences have been positive, and it's crucial to address the importance of having competent and empathetic teachers in our educational system. 🌟 Recently, my classmates and I encountered a challenging situation with one of our instructors. Despite approaching her with genuine and respectful feedback on how her teaching methods could be improved, she responded defensively and took it personally. Instead of reflecting on our concerns, she created a set of "commandments" that essentially demanded our complete submission, stifling any chance for constructive dialogue. 😕 We believed that our concerns were valid and necessary for our academic growth, so we took the matter to the school president. Sadly, no action was taken, and the situation remained unchanged. 😔 This experience has underscored the urgent need for educators who are not only knowledgeable but also open to feedback and willing to grow. Students deserve teachers who foster an environment of mutual respect and continuous improvement, rather than one dominated by ego and defensiveness. 🌱 Competent teachers are essential for nurturing the next generation of learners. It's time for educational institutions to prioritize hiring and retaining educators who are committed to personal and professional growth, and who understand the impact they have on their students' lives. 🌍 Let's advocate for a better future in education, where every student feels heard, valued, and inspired to learn. 📖✨ #Education #Teaching #StudentVoice #EmpathyInEducation #FutureTeachers

Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) involves including students' cultural backgrounds in their learning. It helps make education more relevant and effective for students from different cultural perspectives. Recognizing and valuing students' cultural experiences helps create a more inclusive and engaging classroom environment.

Teaching is one of the most rewarding career options available. A final year BA (Hons) Primary Education with QTS student, shared exactly what it is that she loves about being a teacher: 1. Every child is different - you can support them with their home life and relationships with peers as well as their academic work – you just have to find a way in with each individual. 2. You learn from teaching - primary teaching has allowed me to develop in all the subject areas I have to teach. 3. You really do make a positive difference to their lives. 4. The children can surprise you - the comments they come out with are often very amusing! 5. Every day is different and interesting in its own way. 6. Schools are communities - you work as a team and support one other. Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/48Md0Rb #PerksOfBeingATeacher #TeacherPerks #WorkingInEducation

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #snsdesignthinking IMPORTANT OF EADUCATION Education is the transmission of knowledge, skills, and character traits and comes in many forms. Formal education happens in a complex institutional framework, like public schools. Non-formal education is also structured but takes place outside the formal schooling system, while informal education is unstructured learning through daily experiences. Formal and non-formal education are divided into levels that include early childhood education, primary education, secondary education, and tertiary education. Other classifications focus on the teaching method, like teacher-centered and student-centered education, and on the subject, like science education, language education, and physical education. The term "education" can also refer to the mental states and qualities of educated people and the academic field studying educational phenomena.

Australia's unacknowledged Students: Light Sensitive Learners. The Grattan Institute rightly acknowledges the damaging effect of not being able to read well. However, Grattan's proposed remedy (more/better teaching) is not the solution for perhaps 5% of students who are light sensitive. While adjustments are possible and requisite under the Disability Discrimination Act, few teachers know about them. eg.,: appropriate coloured overlays, seating position in the classroom to access natural daylight, a personal lamp on their desk and/or coloured paper both in their day to day learning and as a special provision for assessment activities. Few teachers know about the adjustments recommended by the National Health and Medical Research Council: "Anti-glare filters for computer screens to relieve eyestrain, fatigue, headaches and stress. Place blinds on windows, flicker free lighting, full spectrum lighting, light filters for covering fluorescent lighting, lower wattage overhead lights, task lighting or other alternative lighting." Light Sensitive Learners are entitled to these adjustments. Does the Grattan Institute disagree?

As you look forward to resuming educational activities for the 2023/2024 academic year, let's consider some likely expressions deployed around education. 1) I am a student of Excellence Secondary School.❌ I am a student at Excellence Secondary School.✔ In English, you are a student "at", not "of", an educational institution. However, one can be a "student of" a subject or course (for tertiary institutions), while one is a "student in" a department or faculty (for tertiary institutions). She is a student of mathematics, English language and geography.✔ She is a student in the commercial department.✔ 2) What class are you?❌ What class are you in?✔ The former sentence is wrong because someone is "IN" a class; someone is not a class. 3) She is an SSS 2 pupil.✔ If you are of the opinion that "pupil" should be used for children at primary schools while "students" should be used for children at secondary schools, you are mistaken. A pupil is simply a child being taught at a school, so the sentence above is perfectly correct. 4) You are very correct, John.❌ This statement is wrong because "correct" is an absolute adjective, and such an adjective does not usually accept the modifier/intensifier "very". As such, we have: You are totally/perfectly/absolutely/completely correct, John. ✔ 5) She is blocking my view.✔ If you have ever taught your pupils or students that it is impermissible to "block" someone's "view", it is high time you stopped it. According to English collocation, the sentence above is absolutely correct. By way of alternative, you could say: She is obstructing my view.✔ She is obscuring my view.✔ 6) My daughter schools at ABC Nursery and Primary School.❌ So long as "my daughter" is not a teacher, the sentence above is incorrect. The rationale behind the foregoing is that "school", as a verb, means "teach". Thus, the sentence should be correctly recast in the passive form as this: My daughter is schooled (is taught) at ABC Nursery and Primary School.✔ Furthermore, we have these: My daughter is schooling at ABC Nursery and Primary School.❌ My daughter IS BEING SCHOOLED at ABC Nursery and Primary School.✔ My daughter schooled at ABC Nursery and Primary School.❌ My daughter WAS SCHOOLED at ABC Nursery and Primary School.✔ As a teacher, though, you could say: Mr Simon schools (teaches) SSS 3 pupils.✔ 7) My teacher gave me three homeworks from an educational software.❌ The general reader should note that "homework" and "software" are uncountable nouns, so we have this: My teacher gave me three pieces of homework from educational software.✔ 8) My son is at school.✔ My son is in school.✔ Indeed, both are perfectly correct. The former sentence is British English, whereas the latter sentence reflects American English. 9) Stop making a noise.✔ Stop making noise.✔ Both sentences are correct; the choice is yours to use noise as either a countable noun or an uncountable noun.

𝐕𝐏𝐊 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. As educators, there are few things more fulfilling than watching our students actively participate in their own learning. When students ask their own questions, solve problems together, cooperate with peers, and take turns in whole-class activities, it makes for a powerful learning environment. Take a moment to watch this experience in a Florida VPK class. The combination of oral language development, social skills practice, and background knowledge instruction accelerate early literacy gains. At a time when teachers struggle to meet ever-increasing academic requirements, incorporating classroom activities that are cross curricular, is more essential than ever. #orallanguage #ScienceOfReading #inquirybasedlearning #earlychildhoodeducation #professionaldevelopment #edutech #teachersoflinkedin #kindergarten #prek #firstgrade #vpk #earlyeducation #readingforall
