My Guiding Principles

During the beginning of my second year within the BTchLn we had an assignment where we had to create our guiding principles as a beginning classroom teacher.  We had to based our guiding principles in relevant readings and research and compare our findings to what we have seen on placement in order to come up with our own guiding principles.  The guiding principles are set within the social and emotional, cognitive, and physical environments in a school setting.  To show all of this I created a Prezi.

Below are screen captures of my guiding principles.  Feel free to have a look at the full presentation here.

Physical: Access to resources

Physical: Time management

Cognitive: Deliberate acts of teaching

Cognitive: Interactive learning experiences

Social and emotional: Building positive relationships

Social and emotional: Scaffolding
This guiding principle is strongly linked into the cognitive aspects of teaching and learning.

Though I created these guiding principles almost two years ago I still hold fast to them.  However, I have expanded and reflected on these principles to develop my guiding principles today.
