Well, Martha and I are about to take the plunge and teach some other Teachers how to be classroom profilers. The North is going South - we are travelling from Cairns to Brisbane to deliver this teaching! It's exciting to think that there will be more of us. I have definitely enjoyed the contact with Teachers from Ed Qld, but there have been only a handful of TAFE Teachers that have been interested in classroom profiling up until now. Somehow, teaching in the TAFE system is very different from high schools and primary schools, especially when we are delivering classes flexibly and with blended delivery strategies. Martha and I are interested in making the discussion about TROPIC-el (Teachers Reflecting on Practice in Classrooms and in E-learning) wider than behaviour management. Behaviour management strategies are improtant, and we like teaching the microskills to help Teachers with this, but..we also want to have more professional discussions about what good teaching actually is. How do our learners learn? How do they learn in the e-learning environment? What is best practice?
Will be travelling for all of next week. I may not get back to this Blog for a week or so.
