Curriculum Vitae: Alan Scott
Vision
In over 10 years teaching within the New
South Wales Department of education I have
practised many different pedagogy is
including; Quality Teaching, Backward
Mapping, Blooms Digital Taxonomy and
Project Based Learning. This matched with
the 10 years’ experience in adult learning in
the corporate sector has led me to the
conclusion that teaching people, how to learn
is more important than teaching them what
to learn.
This has been my goal for the last two or
three years. The future of learning will be
teaching students to use the different digital
resources and tools to match their particular
learning style to make their teaching
experience a self-directed one.
The role of the teacher has changed to one of
learning facilitator rather than a source of
knowledge. Matching the correct style and
method of teaching to the students preferred
style and then guiding them along a path of
self-directed continuous learning. This will
enable students to develop resilience and
personal skills that will allow them to
overcome all future learning obstacles.
