Week 6 - What do you understand "ethics in education are?"

Ethics in education to me pertains to the morals, values, philosophies and conduct in an educational environment.  Our personal character, attributes and integrity that is required when you are in entrusted with caring for and nurturing young humans with inquisitive minds.
These little humans are the future of our society, the warriors we need to help sustain  our environment, to spread humanity and kindness so I find clear and tangible links between what I believe is my perception of ethics and the principles of the takepu:
  • Ahurutanga - creating quality spaces,
  • Kaitiakitanga - strengthening relationships,
  • Koha - it is a gift for us to be entrusted with the education of our future generation and we have a lot to offer as teachers to assist with their growth,
  • Mauriora - the constant acknowledgement and pursuit of wellbeing

Week 7 - Find a whakatauki and kiwaha to explain your teaching philosophy

Ka mate kainga tahi, ka ora kainga rua I have chosen this particular Whakatauki as I have always believed that when one door closes another will open.  With every death there is a rebirth, a new beginning. Every failure is an opportunity in disguise. While we sometimes associate death with grief and loss, death is also a reminder that it is an end of a particular moment or period in time but with every sunset there’s a sunrise, new horizons.  No matter what stage you are in life there are always opportunities for fresh starts and new beginnings. Opportunities to put an end to things that don’t work. We may stray off our life paths but there are always opportunities to reset and start again.  And that’s what this means to me. OPPORTUNITIES “when one door closes another opens”.

Week 9 - Some areas for further development that you identify for yourself while you are out on practicum 1A

Using my experience during the planning and delivery of micro lessons over a three week period with Melville Primary School the areas I have identified that require further development relate to planning and activities.  We were well prepared for our first session but realised the tasks we had created were not pushing the boundaries for the tamariki who were a lot more advanced than we had anticipated. The second week we had more challenging questions however we under-estimated the time frames and as a result missed a rotation.  The third week although fully prepared the problem I experienced was lack of reviewing our group combined assessment. It is always important to ensure that you understand what you are administering before you administer it and in this case, as I was rushed for time and too reliant on my colleagues I did not bother to read through the entire assessment booklet.  This posed to be a problem when my group came up to the Maori component of the as...
