Heart of a teacher

Jun 3, 2012Download as PPTX, PDF1 like333 views

The poem describes the important role of a teacher in helping students discover their potential. A teacher sees each student as a mystery box with puzzle pieces that need to be sorted out and put together to form a picture. Rather than just teaching knowledge, the teacher's goal is to help students feel safe, valued, and believe in themselves so they can achieve more than they ever imagined. Through modeling good character and respect, as well as giving students freedom and responsibility, the teacher enables each child to become stronger and more confident as the puzzle pieces of who they are fit together.

The child arrives like a mystery box...
With puzzle pieces inside
Some of the pieces are broken or missing
And others just seem to hide

But the HEART of a teacher
can sort them out...
And help the child to see
the potential for greatness he has within...
A picture of what he can see

Her goal isn’t just to teach knowledge...
By filling the box with more parts
It’s putting the pieces together...
To create a work of art

The process is painfully slow at times...
Some need more help than others
Each child is a work in progress...
With assorted shapes and colors

First she creates a classroom...
Where the child can feel safe in school
Where he never feels
threatened or afraid to try...
And kindness is always the rule

She knows that a child
Can achieve much more
When he feels secure inside
When he’s valued and loved ...
and believes in himself ...
and he has a sense of pride

She models and teaches good character...
And respect for one another
How to focus on strengths...
not weaknesses
And how to encourage each other

She gives the child the freedom he
needs... To make choices on his own
So he learns to become more responsible
And is able to stand alone.

He’s taught
to be strong and think for himself...
And his soul and spirit healed
And the puzzle that’s taking shape
inside... Has a much more positive feel

The child discovers the joy that comes...
From learning something new...
And his vision grows as he begins
To see all the things he can do

A picture is formed as more pieces fit...
An image of the child within
with greater strength and confidence...
And a belief that he can win!

All because a hero was there...
In the HEART of a teacher who cared
Enabling the child to become much more...
Than he ever imagined...
or dared

A teacher with a HEART for her children...
Knows what teaching is all about
She may not have all the answers...
But on this...
she has no doubts

When asked
which subjects she loved to teach,
She answered this way and smiled...
“It’s not the subjects that matter...
It’s all about teaching the CHILD.”

The poem describes the role of a teacher in helping students discover their potential. It says that each student arrives as a mystery, with some pieces broken or missing. The heart of a teacher can help sort out the puzzle pieces and put them together to create a work of art. The teacher creates a safe classroom where students feel valued and loved so they can achieve more than they ever imagined. The goal is not just teaching knowledge but helping students see the greatness within themselves.

Modelo de Feyereisen, Fiorino y Nowakdalita22

Kathryn Feyerisen desarrolló un modelo de organización curricular que consta de 5 etapas: 1) considerar las necesidades de los estudiantes y la sociedad, 2) definir objetivos, 3) considerar contenido, organización, secuencia y evaluación, 4) relacionarlo con teorías de aprendizaje, y 5) organizar cada componente como un microsistema. Este modelo fue adoptado por el Departamento de Educación de Puerto Rico en 1979 y Feyerisen lo explicó en su libro de 1970 "Supervision and Curriculum Renewal: A System Approach".

Factors and forces influencing on curriculum developmentUmair Ashraf

Several factors influence curriculum development in meeting the needs of 21st century learners, including government rules, society, politics, economics, technology, and learner diversity. Valid curriculum development requires awareness of the target community's social, financial, and psychological makeup. Politics affect curriculum through funding, goals, materials, and exams. Economics influences focus on career preparation and national economic returns. Technology is now integral to learning and influences goals and experiences via computers and multimedia. Diversity opens opportunities but requires relevant curricula for varied learners.

In Acts 3:11-26 we see Peter delivering his second sermon. Many call it his "Colonnade Sermon" because of the location where he preached it in Solomon's Portico or Colonnade. In this sermon, Peter continues to indict the crowd that included many who cried out for Jesus' crucifixion. However, Peter then introduces a message of hope. He suggests that their sin, though grievous, is pardonable and that God can blot out their sin if they will flee to God for mercy. We will see that Jesus is our "City of Refuge", the place where we find mercy and protection.
