Teacher’s role in project Approach

“The teacher’s role in education is always complex, regardless of the subject matter or the age of the students. In general the main focus is to help learner understand what they already know more and deeply and accurately while strengthening their dispositions to continue learning throughout life”

-Lillian G.Katz

 

“The teacher is also essential to building a classroom culture of mutual assistance among the children. She may suggest to a child who is having some difficulties creating a cardboard construction representation that a particular classmate might be able to help because he or she has done a similar thing recently”

-Lillian G.Katz

Evidence- Based Practice

“A decision-making process that integrates the best available research evidence with family and professional wisdom and values”

-Buysse, Virginia;   Wesley, Patricia W.

“When I think of the word passion and the meaning to the word passion, what comes to my mind are what are my values, what are my believes, what are the ideas that lead me to action, what do I do so naturally that perhaps seems natural to me but may be challenging to others? What’s in my heart?

Growing up as a child was very memorable because I had nothing to worry about but lots of family members to visit and play around with. I was fortunate enough to gain some knowledge from my grand mother,as a child I use to visit her during my school holidays in my village, learnt how to plant cassava and also how to harvest it also.Processing cassava in the Nigerian local way is another Knowledge I gained From her,learning how to prepare my local delicacies was part of some of the things I learnt from her as a child. One of the most important things I learnt from her also knowing my other relatives from her.
Another memorable time as a child was travelling with my uncle on a vesper from my grand mothers place to visit my cousins in town,this trip was usually made during weekends.My mum will forever remain my number one teacher in life, she is always in the business of teaching me the pros and cons of our society.She never gets tired of putting me through the right track all the time.My dad has always been my greatest fan and  he encourages me. no matter the position I find myself. My dad was our first Sunday school teacher,he was always telling us stories from the bible,he was also good at telling us history about our country,the civil war in Nigeria and also politics.
I call my dad my greatest fan and he encourages a lot because he does not believe that failure is an option because there is always room for improvement.
My grand dad also made a great impact in my life to, he taught me some of the traditions in my town.

Hansel and Gretel is one of my favorite children's book.What i love about this book is the illustration of poverty in the book, and how poverty can bring division and helplessness in a family.If i have to relate it to recent happenings and the most occurred ones I will relate it to how instability in a family will affect a child,s learning ability in school.Back in my country poverty is so clear that you see a lot of children within the school age hawking by the road side during school hours or the lucky ones hawking after school hours.













This is an image of my child's drawing,and she will be 3 in September. I choose this image because it describes to the child how a beach looks like, the things you can find around the beach the difference in the color of the water and the sea shore.
