End of Teaching Practice

Today is officially the end of Teaching Practice. It has truly been one of the most unique experiences I have ever had. There were ups and downs but in the end I managed. I discovered that teaching should be a passion and not merely just a day job. The greatest gift that teaching can provide a teacher with at the end of the day is when you as the teacher know that you have made a difference in the lives of the learners.

Teachers getting licensed

Today I came across an interesting article concerning the state planning to license teachers http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/western-cape/state-plans-to-license-teachers-2015513. I have mixed views concerning this particular article. In a sense, it is a good idea to ensure that the level of professionalism increases amongst teachers and assist in improving the quality of education in schools. In another sense, I also feel that teachers have many issues to deal with and this might add on to it in terms of obtaining the license. However, the issue is up for debate and I will certainly continue to follow the story as it progresses.

A day after teaching


First week of Teaching Practice


First week of Teaching Practice done and dusted. It is really a different feeling when the roles are reversed. I still feel like one of the learners however I am slowly adjusting to the reality of being an incoming teacher. Teaching has its ups and downs but I am determined to show my worth and help change learners perspective to education. The week has been tiring but I am always up for a challenge.
