Sandringham School is holding a "Lazy Teacher Week" from January 10th to 14th to focus on developing student independence and innovation. During this week, teachers will give students more responsibility for their own learning by providing project-based work and opportunities for students to lead discussions. The goal is for students to become more independent learners by collaborating with others, asking their own questions, and finding answers on their own. Teachers will take a step back and facilitate learning by asking questions rather than providing direct instruction. The school aims to shift the balance of responsibility from teachers to students through developing student skills and capacity for lifelong learning.
Education for All goals talk about all children but who are the all? Teaching and education should not be seen only as a technical exercise within a classroom but every teacher
should make efforts to reach out to all children in the school.
What if school actually prepared you for life?Scott Schimmel
You can succeed in school but never find the meaning, purpose, or connection you deeply desire. What if there was a way for students to find clarity about their identity, their purpose, and relationships?
A great nation is build though a teacher in the four walls of a class room. A teacher’s profession is a noble one, it is said Yes, it is a noble one. I feel it is the basis of all other professions. It is the teacher who creates doctors, scientists, engineers, artist, dramatist, singer, builder and all other professionals.
Presentation on opening up a new school in pecha kucha style delivered at EduIgnite at Hobsonville Point School, June 2013.
Theme: Asking yourself the big questions...why do what you do, how will you achieve your vision through to what practice may look like.. sharing some of the journey from vision to operation.
Key Points:
Structuring curriculum to allow for development of dispositions/qualities and skills in your learners
Structuring a day to allow for students to self manage and engage in relevant, purposeful and personalised learning

CHAPTER 7
Developing a Philosophy of Teaching and Learning
Teacher Interview: Heather Cyra
Heather Cyra has been a teacher at Guild Gray Elementary School for four years. Approximately 600 students attend kindergarten through fifth grade at Guild Gray. The school is located between an older, well-established neighborhood and low-rent apartment complexes. Student enrollment fluctuates at the school, and teachers may be asked to change grade levels when populations at specific grade levels decrease or increase. Ms. Cyra began teaching first grade but after one year she was moved to fifth grade. For as long as she remembers, she wanted to be a teacher. She knew that there would be challenges and rewards in teaching, but teachers make a difference in the world. She wanted to be creative and use the natural skills she possesses for helping people learn.
What do you see when you see excellence in teaching?
I see someone who is organized and has created an enjoyable, engaging environment—teachers who keep the students engaged in learning and also help everyone learn. I see excellence in teaching when I see teachers who have “fun” with their students; teachers who listen to their students and keep the students from being bored. Excellence in teaching is also surprising the students with unexpected activities, rewards, or information.
How do you know when your students are learning?
There are many ways to know that students are learning. You can often tell just by the looks on their faces that show whether they are confused or enlightened. You can tell by verbal cues from how the students respond to the questions you ask or how they contribute to class discussions. You can tell from a written assessment or merely a show of hands. If they are not responding the way I expect them to then I realize I have to reteach a concept or go back over something that may not have been explained in a way that they can understand. If you are tuned in to your students it is quite easy to tell when students have checked out by the way they look at you or don’t and by the responses they give you.
What brings you joy in teaching?
When I see how far the students I started out with grow in a year. By keeping track of their stages of development, I can see how much they have learned and how their attitudes and behavior have developed. When my students tell me at the end of the year that they don’t want to leave, I know that I have created a warm, nurturing environment. I feel like I am doing something right. It’s not entirely about what the tests say. As long as they’re learning, showing growth, and enjoying themselves in school and have enjoyed their fifth-grade experience I am happy and feel like I have done my job.
How did you develop a personal philosophy of teaching?
I constructed my philosophy one course at a time through integration of the most prominent and influential pieces of knowledge from each professor and textbook. During the course in special education my ...

7. More opportunities to `talk’ and `create’ Is this then a cycle for developing independence and innovation Is it just applicable to students?
17. Someone who learns from and `with’ others is then more likely to learn by themselves.
18. The key to getting people to change their behaviour (become more independent) is whether they know and respect others that do the same thing. They will then take more personal responsibility to change as they are `within’ a group dynamic.Is it just applicable to students?
19. Learning will demonstrate more of.... Students reporting back on what they have learned Students becoming their own teachers Students looking and finding the answers Students willing to take risks/have a go Students being inquisitive, asking questions – leading the class dialogue Students pursuing their own interests and passions/ many will have their own projects on the side! Students choosing their own study methods/materials Students carrying out investigative/ extended learning
20. Teachers will be saying more of.... How did you do that? How else could you have done that? Who did that a different way? Which are the tricky bits? What’s tricky about them? What could you do when you are stuck on that? What would have made that easier for you? What else do you know that might help? How could you help someone else do that? How could you make that harder for yourself? How could I have taught that better? Who wants to lead this!
21. Students will say more of .... “I feel more involved in the lesson’ “The teacher made it feel as if it was our project, not theirs” ”We knew how to improve and edit our presentation as we were making it” “I like being challenged to come up with my own questions” “It was good making up our own mark scheme as it made us think more about what success should look like”
23. Impact of all this.......... “Students will develop greater skills and capacity to learn and this will in turn make them more independent.”
24. ‘The test of successful education is not the amount of knowledge that pupils take away from school, but their appetite to know and their capacity to learn.’ Sir Richard Livingstone, Oxford, 1941 ‘Pedagogy should at its best be about what teachers do that not only helps students to learn but actively strengthens their capacity to learn - in and beyond school.’ David Hargreaves, SSAT, 2004
