Becoming a History Teacher

Photo by Monstera Production on Pexels.com Throughout my time in ITE (Initial Teacher Education) one aspect of the interview process has remained the same – that moment when the candidates smile from their eyes as they speak fondly of a teacher who made a difference in their life. These teachers inspired them to study a particular subject or bolstered their confidence and made the student sat before me feel seen and valued.

Why are we doing this? (Image: UNSW eLearning) Students in my department spend a lot of time comparing/contrasting the two biggest “-isms” (so-called realism and liberalism) and the debate about whether states pursue “absolute gains” or “relative gains”.

WASHINGTON — Lewis Ferebee, chancellor of District of Columbia Public Schools, stands at the top of a staircase at John Lewis Elementary when he’s approached by a couple of his constituents for handshakes. He has to reach down a bit — the third-grade boys only stand about waist-high to Ferebee. The school got a face-lift three years ago. The renovations transformed the noisy, open-concept hallways — relics of the Open Education Movement from the ’60s and ’70s — into individual classrooms.

Most of us try to avoid doing things we don’t particularly like. But for students, research has shown procrastination can have particularly serious consequences, such as increasing stress levels and lowering grades.
