It would not be worthwhile revisiting the stories you have been reading and consider the extent to which they reflect ‘accomplished’ practice as it is described in the STELLA statement. How these stories answer the ‘focus questions’ which are posed in this domain?

What sense do you make of the questions posed in relation to ‘Responsibility’ and ‘Negotiation’? Think of these questions as though they have been directed to you personally:

 

  • Should you be required to demonstrate accountability? To whom are you accountable? How do you think you could show your accountability for planning for the learning and language development of all the students in your class?
  • How might you ensure that your English classroom is characterised by continuing dialogue with students about goals, processes, content and outcomes?
  • What kind of stance would you need to adopt as a teacher in order for such dialogue occurs? What strategies could you employ to encourage ‘continuing dialogue’ with students about their language and learning?

beginning your planning

 

What things do you need to consider when planning your lessons? Imagine that you have been asked to draw up a guide for lesson planning that all English teachers should follow. What things would you include in your guide? What do English teachers need to know about their students before they begin planning their lessons? How might they find this out? What knowledge do they need in order to plan successfully? How might they critically evaluate their lessons?

 

Design a guide for lesson planning for English teachers that addresses these questions.

Bell hooks describes education as ‘a practice of freedom’ (hooks 1994). I want to move away from prescriptive models of writing in order to help students develop their identity, experiment with multiple ‘Englishes’, to expand literacy and cultural understandings, and to foster a love of reading that isn’t always ‘punished’ with a requirement to write an essay.

Monash pre-service teacher (2005)
