My Identity And Experience: My Role As A Teacher

A human being is a combination of the legitimate biological characteristic such as race, skin colour, personality, and cognitive ability of the individual and the state of being. The state of being can be illustrated by the individual’s state of awareness, and an individual’s state of awareness is characterized by his or her identity. Every person has an identity and a culture. At certain points of time, some individual search for their identity in order to understand their existence in life. Identity is built into an individual through the social trials of life that associate family and friends, ethnic background, and cultural consciousness. In order to truly reflect myself in this writing, I would like to first start with where I come from.

Teachers’ principles shape their behaviour, interactions with students, and curricular decisions. I aim to become a teacher who can create an effective teaching by developing habits of mind. In order to do so, I would have to continuously reflect, observe, assess, and evaluate. Assessments for learning, as learning, and of learning are crucial when developing a deep learning. At the beginning of a year, I would see the baseline of where each student is at and observe his or her progress. Then, I would make students self-regulate by making goals and assessing with peers since teachers won’t always be with them throughout their lifetime. Finally, I would question myself if I did my job well enough and if they learnt the materials. Different learning styles of each student are needed to perform the diverse educational system. As well as applying these ideas to classroom practice, I would need to think about how multiculturalism enables different beliefs and value systems to co-exist, creating tolerance, diverse society. Every culture and their languages should be respected in order to help students to keep a part of who they are. In Canada and other parts of the Western World, schools are no longer simply academic environments; they are also social sites where identities and power relations are negotiated and renegotiated with language issues featuring very promptly in the process.
