Wk3 - Big questions and the 4 teacher types...

This week’s lecture covered a lot of material that I had been previously exposed to. However, it raised interesting questions – primarily, what content do I think is absolutely imperative to teach to the next generation? My immediate thoughts were cultural sensitivity, social skills, respect, and developing environmental conscious. I stick by these but I catch myself often pondering this question in the last 24 hours.

Our tutorial covered an interesting new topic – the 4 teacher types. I saw myself aiming to fall in the region between Permissive Indulgent and Authorative. I was pleased when my tutor told the class that he too aimed for this region of the map. From my prac experience, I feel that most PE teaches fall into the extremes of Permissive Indulgent and Authoritarian. This is something I will consciously try to avoid.
