Contexts of Education: Effective & Reflective Teaching
In EDU 300, I explored the historical, sociological, philosophical, Indigenous, political, and ethical understandings of what it means to be a teacher in contemporary society. This includes the role of the various bodies governing the teaching profession in K-12 schools, as well as the political structures and policies that influence schooling in Canada. In addition, I explored teaching, schooling, and student diversity from multiple perspectives in order to better understand the current social and political issues in Canadian education, and their implications for practice today.
Below, please find a link to my cumulative reflection on my course learning. Please note: this assignment necessitated brevity, as it is intended as a personal, mental reminded of what constitutes effective and reflective teaching.
