The changing expectations of our pupils

I teach, therefore you learn...

or do you?

Page 2: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We no longer live the way we used to

Page 3: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

•We teach the way we used to

•We teach the way we were taught

Page 4: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Our philosophy may be outdated

Page 5: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We may be stuck in our old ways

Page 6: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

The old may feel safe and reliable

Page 7: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Perhaps the new offers a better alternative

Page 8: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Consider this:

Page 9: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Charles Dickens wrote like this

Page 10: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

But our pupils read Charles dickens like this

Page 11: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Yet we expect our pupils to produce work like this

Page 12: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

But not like this

Page 13: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

It may be time to reconsider the way we teach

Page 14: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

But why?

Page 15: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Our pupils are not that different from us

Page 16: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

But they experience the world differently

Page 17: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Think about it...

Page 18: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Our generation watched TV:

•Limited information

•Structured schedules

Page 19: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Their generation use computers:

•Limitless information

•24/7 access

Page 20: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Our pupils share the same interests we had:

•Friendship

•Socialising

Page 21: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

But they use different tools

Page 22: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

The means of communication have changed

Page 23: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

This is how they communicate:

Page 24: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

Communication may hold the key

Page 25: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We need to start listening

Page 26: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We need to teach using the right tools

Page 27: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We need to teach life skills

Page 28: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We need to stop resisting change

Page 29: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We risk being left behind

Page 30: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

If we are to meet our students expectations

Page 31: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

If we are to engage our pupils

Page 32: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

If we are to remain relevant

Page 33: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

If we want them to learn from us

Page 34: I teach, therefore you learn... or do you?

We may need to learn from them
