There have been several momentous changes in my teaching career:
- when it became appropriate for my students (or pupils, as they were called then) to call me John instead of 'sir' or Mr. Baglow
- when I stopped being the source of all input into the classroom and realised that the students could be relied on to input material
Am I now on the verge of another watershed? Am I about to start sharing with other practitioners in other colleges the teaching materials and strategies I have developed? That would be quite a step.
The teacher training courses which I am involved with are in direct competition with similar courses at other colleges in the area. That is the main stumbling block, I think. What do others think?
