Teaching better. My pedagogical to-do list

Tosha Caston-Smith shared with you:   Teaching better. My pedagogical to-do list headguruteacher.com - I've been a teacher for 27 years and two terms and this much I know….. What do you mean that's been done?! 27 years though! Scary number. I'm on a path to being a life-long teacher, never having had any other kind of job. Obviously it's a bit different being a Headteacher but I've always been a teacher too – next year I'm taking on a GCSE Maths class. I can't wait. There are lots of reasons to love teaching but one that has sustained me is that constant challenge to teacher better. My entire experience of teaching has been that my lessons never seem to go to plan; it's never quite right. I'm always thinking that, if perhaps I'd done something else instead, it might have been a better lesson. I used to worry about that – but now I see it as normal and healthy. Of course, every so often, I deliver a belter – where it all just sings beautifully; a perfect symphony of learning. But that's rare. I wrote a basic Teaching To-Do list at the start of the year but, recently, as ever, I've been absorbing more ideas from all around me. Some affirm things I think I do already; others cut through my armour, making me think I really need to do things a bit differently. Available on the App Store.
