short video clip I made. It examines the possible problems and anxieties of future teachers, and thoughts of teachers who have lost their passion, enthusiasm and love of teaching. As we prepare to teach it is natural that we question, 'what kind of teacher do I want to be?' and 'How can I make that happen?'
The NSW Institute of Teachers framework for Teaching Standards is a map for teachers and future teachers, the document clearly state attributes and qualities that a graduate must have in order to teach to the standard.
Element 2.1.3 states a graduate must have 'knowledge of students varied approached to learning' and 2.1.4, 'knowledge of how students skills, interests and prior achievements affect learning'. These elements are a platform from which graduate teachers can learn to effectively plan lessons that are challenging and extend the student through their ZPD (zone of Proximal development) a theory constructivist Lev Vygotsky developed when a student processes the information to 'make new knowledge' with the assistance of 'a more advanced partner' (Duchesene,S,Bochner,S, Mcmaugh,A & Krausse,K. 2013).
In order to know what the student is capable of a new teacher must assess previous work, discuss with students and other teachers, what has been learned and how and build upon existing knowledge, to facilitate the creation of new knowledge.
All of the teachers in my video clip demonstrate the opposite values and attributes of what I would consider to be a great teacher
