I will achieve this through the following pedagogical approach:
Example Teaching Strategies Reasons for implementing this
strategy Negotiated- learning
I will act as an advocate for negotiated learning and liaise with the school principal, fellow educators, and parents. I will need to gain a solid understanding of the Australian Curriculum in order to plan for negotiated- learning. To engage in professional practice, I must comply with policies and procedures enforced by schools. Engaging in open communication with school principals, work colleagues and parents not only complies with the Code of Ethics by demonstrating integrity through professional relationships, but it also complies with The Code of School Behaviour policy document, and the National Professional Standards for Teachers (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, 2011; Queensland College of Teachers, n.d.; & Queensland Government, 2007) I will engage in ongoing reflective practice to assess the effectiveness of my teaching strategies in order for me to further develop my pedagogical practice. Reflecting on student performance also informs future planning in negotiated-learning. Documentation is a significant aspect in advocating for negotiated learning. Reflective practice is crucial in promoting student success and is a significant aspect in the teaching and learning cycle. Reflective practice complies with the National Professional Standards for Teachers (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, 2011) I will apply the Ethical Response Cycle when addressing the dilemma to ensure that I consider the legal and ethical aspects during the decision-making process. Newman and Pollnitzs Ethical Response Cycle was developed to help guide educators in making ethical decisions when confronting complex dilemmas (Newman & Pollnitz, 2002).
