EDTE 3404 was so engaging, informative and meaningful to this principal of a small institution. Discussions were eye opening & assignments were relevant. Learning about Appraisal Strategies & Clinical Supervision model was most interesting. Thx @AndreaVeira5

@SH24751 @AndreaVeira5 I can't help but wondering, are we doing it 'right'? Is there a standard that all Caribbean teachers follow or are appraisals subjective?

[Dornell Carty @DornellCarty]

We need to have a more effective appraisal system in the Caribbean teaching system. One that is transparent, fair and based on clear standards to continuously meet the level of teacher professionalism and excellence desired. @AshaAndrew1276 @AndreaVeira5

Teaching and managing students' behaviours can seem like a herculean task. Clinical Supervision makes a teacher feel there is someone to lighten the load and help them navigate effectively. Your personal professional superheroes and maybe a lifelong friend! @AndreaVeira5

The path to becoming a teacher in Canada is similar to that of the Caribbean, however, Canada has greater certification requirements and regulatory frameworks than we do..... @AndreaVeira5 @tadianj

This week I'm reading about the Reflective Model in Teacher Education. Dewey (1933) stated that teacher educators must train student teachers to think reflectively about their learning experience. Ohh yes! @AndreaVeira5

I just love being a facilitator, it is definitely my teaching style because it has lots of benefits such as encouraging active participation. Learners are given skills that stays with them throughout life eg. Communication skills. Wat's your teaching style? @AndreaVeira5

[Dornell Carty @DornellCarty]

@educationweek Students find means to accomplish whatever they want. After all, aren't we asking them to be critical thinkers/problem solvers? To them, this is just another means of being creative in getting their way. Good effort though! Lol @andreaveira

@Momo141633 @AndreaVeira5 @Buckleyvill @leticiahenry Great question Monique, critical thinking has been thrown around a lot. However, teachers still have not grasped the concept themselves neither are they skilled in harnessing it from their students. We are still not versed ourselves with this skill to further promote it.

[Dornell Carty @DornellCarty]

The teacher education program needs to provide its teachers with sufficient practice of the content lest it remains as nothing but mere information with no mastery of the skill. Follow ups are also paramount. @AndreaVeira5 @TadianJWong @Momo141633 @SH24751

[Dornell Carty @DornellCarty]

The perspective of people not seeing teaching as a profession will not only change if our pay increases but also when Caribbean teachers in particular raise the bar of teacher qualification. Do you agree? @AndreaVeira5 @ArithaJoseph @Buckleyvill @keno1268 @SH24751
