I am not sure if reflections are going to be an overall for the week but I will add to it if I feel something else arises which seems relevant. As for reflecting on the discussions today I would say some was applicable to me and my particular ‘values’ or ‘beliefs’ as I see them today and some were not. I am quite confident my views will change and grow as I do throughout life and the different paths I will take, such as a career change into education, but the foundations of them will remain the same. My philosophy on life is based on what I saw from parents, peers and society growing up and I cannot say if they are right or wrong or offensive or not as these are my beliefs and mine only. Other people, cultures, religions, etc. all have their set of rules or guidelines to follow or live up to and that is extremely admirable but that is what they believe and that is their particular choice to follow them and I will always respect that. As for how this ties into my future role as a teacher, I think it is important to keep in mind that there are many different views on any subject and it is not my role to say how anyone would or should stand on a topic but cleanly, without bias deliver the topic and all relevant information to allow for an unbiased opinion. Maybe this is one of the beauties of being an educator as no matter what the student may or may not be pre-disposed to think, he or she will always, simply get the facts from the teacher to draw upon their own personal beliefs and come to a conclusion that applies to them. School visits start today and I think the experience will be enlightening and exciting to have a chance to gain some more practical skills and ideas on teaching and dealing with the classroom. I have done several school visits previously at and had a great experience with them.
