 Personal Teaching Statement

Expanded Task Description

As you begin your teaching degree you will hold views about what a teacher is, what they do, and what makes an effective (and ineffective) teacher. These beliefs might be based on your prior experiences from your schooling, images of teachers represented through the media, popular culture, or what others may have told you about teaching.

These representations of teachers will shape your motivation for being a teacher and influence the development of your philosophy and personal teaching statement. This assignment asks you to engage with and reflect on this impact.

Create a drawing that presents a visual depiction of different representations of teachers. Write your personal teaching statement in response to these representations.
