O que você faz se sua filosofia de ensino não estiver alinhada com suas decisões estratégicas?

🧐🔍 When faced with a misalignment between my teaching philosophy and strategic decisions, it's essential to play detective and identify the root cause of the conflict. Just like Sherlock Holmes cracking a case, I delve deep into understanding where the discrepancy arises, whether it's in curriculum planning, assessment methods, or classroom management.

In my opinion , the pedagogy needs to be addressed. This will help bring in alignment. Collecting feedback at regular intervals will help in making required change.

Die Prämisse wirft für mich bereits einige Fragen auf: Es wird hier unterschieden zwischen einer "Lehr-Philosophie" und dem strategischen Handeln. Das hört sich so an, als wäre mein pädagogisches Handeln die Aktivität, welche auf Überzeugungen fußt, die unabhängig von diesem Handeln Bestand haben. Sollte ich mit meiner Vermutung richtig liegen, hätte dies eine kategoriale Unterscheidung zwischen Theorie und Praxis zur Folge. Es kann sein, dass sich bereits an dieser Stelle ganz grundlegende Fragen in Bezug auf die Begründungen unseres Handelns ergeben. Ist die Kausalität zwischen Theorie und Praxis tatsächlich so eindeutlich und verläuft sie im in dieser Richtung, wie die Frage (Was tun Sie, wenn Ihre Lehrphilosophie ... ?) dies nahelegt?

One key aspect to the teaching process is to ensure that your instruction methods can allow the success of the students. When designs are made regarding learning outcomes of final goals are being met, it can be common to adjust delivery methods and your teaching philosophy as a "living behavior", new ideas and methods, such as adding real-life scenarios, or the addition of new exercises may help meet the course goals, even if they do fall outside the scope of the philosophy, as we need to recognize the learning strengths of the students we teach.

La coherencia entre la filosofía de enseñanza y las decisiones estratégicas es esencial para una educación efectiva. Cuando existe discrepancia entre estos aspectos, se corre el riesgo de comprometer el aprendizaje de los estudiantes y la efectividad del docente. Abordar esta discrepancia requiere un enfoque reflexivo y proactivo.

I really try and see how we can meet in the middle. I have experienced working at a school where my philosophy of teaching conflicted with the school's practice. It was not a comfortable situation but I did manage to work it out to a point that I could stay in my position long enough to gain the experience which allowed me to get a better position at another school that had a closer philosophy to mine. I think that it helps to have a flexible attitude and be willing to compromise.

Besides student feedback, I find it useful to understand the root causes and then, initiate a conversation with a mentor who is trustable within the school community. Taking additional short courses has also boosted my confidence and knowledge. Most importantly, be ready to experiment with any useful new ideas that you have gained. If changes are required, we have to be open and adaptable.

- Re-evaluate as Needed: Periodically revisit the alignment between your teaching philosophy and strategic decisions as circumstances evolve. Be open to reassessing your approach and making adjustments as necessary to ensure that your teaching remains grounded in your core beliefs while also supporting broader organizational goals. - Reflect on Your Teaching Philosophy: Take the time to revisit and reflect on your teaching philosophy. What are your core beliefs about education, learning, and student engagement? Understanding your philosophy will help you identify where the misalignment lies. Clarification: engagein discussions with relevant stakeholdersto gain a better understanding of the strategic decisions and the reasoning behind them.

Self-reflection is one of the hallmarks of an effective educator. When there is a misalignment between your educational philosophy and your strategic decisions (responsible decision-making for teaching and learning) it it time for a self-assessment. Analyze where these two elements are diverging. Seek some input from trusted educators. Identify the why. Perhaps your philosophy really isn't accurate. Have you revisited in light of education research - changes and innovations? Perhaps your strategic decision-making process needs to be evaluated. Whatever the outcome, welcome the dissonance and look at the elements causing it. Only you can determine solutions if you have identified the problem.

📜🤔 Once I've uncovered the source of the disconnect, it's time to clarify my teaching philosophy. I articulate my beliefs, values, and goals as clearly as Chandler Bing delivering one of his sarcastic one-liners. By having a well-defined philosophy, I can navigate decisions with confidence and coherence, ensuring they align with my core principles.

Even though a teaching philosophy may work with most students, it may not work with everyone. It is important to keep in mind that we need to evolve because our students and our society are changing too. We need to be critical enough to ask, re-arrange and change lessons if we have the slightest doubt that they are not working, or that they are not being inclusive enough.

For each student, it changes: Basically, when I teach in batches,it happens that some teachings are understandable by some, but a few don't understand. In that case, I have to make them understand in different approaches and throw a question that, in which method they understood well, this helps to understand individual psychology. So my philosophy is simple to be familiar and friendlier with students but don't give them scope that they harass you in class.

Philosophies may change, evolve and renew everytime, since self knowledge and improvement are always welcome changes. With that in mind, talk about it, present it in a clear way and use it as a base to structure your teaching journey. But remember it may be the MEANS for your teaching, not the objective itself.

I don't completely agree with that, actually. I think it's important to reinforce your philosophy to yourself, but not always to others. We need to be real and see that it's not always possible to put your philosophy into action, especially when you're a teacher. Many times you have to move on, motivate yourself, and make the difference where you can, but, at the same time, you don't have to blame or punish yourself when you can't be completely faithful to your beliefs. After all, you have to think about the next step: are you going to deal with that, or do you prefer to change your ways?

As a teacher, clarifying my teaching philosophy is essential for grounding my practice in a set of beliefs, values, and goals that guide every aspect of my teaching journey. By reflecting on how my philosophy relates to my subject, students, and context, I can tailor my pedagogy, assessment, and feedback to meet the diverse needs of my learners. Articulating my teaching philosophy not only reaffirms my identity and purpose as an educator but also enables me to effectively communicate these principles to my colleagues, students, and stakeholders.

Begin by thoroughly examining your core beliefs, values, and objectives. Ask yourself how these pillars shape your approach to curriculum design, classroom management, and student engagement. If discrepancies arise, consider ways to adjust your strategies to better reflect your educational ideals. Engaging in open dialogue with colleagues can also provide valuable insights and alternative perspectives. Remember, your teaching philosophy should evolve as you grow professionally, integrating new understandings and experiences to enhance your effectiveness and authenticity as an educator. Remember you are a learner too.

Your teaching philosophy should not be out of sync with your strategic decision. Did you have the right philosophy in the first place? Which should appreciate that teaching is dynamic and not a one size fits all approach. Make sure you ask yourself is my philosophy realistic, does it meet the needs of the students?

Como psicóloga educativa, mi práctica docente está guiada por una serie de creencias, valores y objetivos fundamentales que informan mi enfoque hacia la enseñanza y el aprendizaje. Como por ejemplo: Creer en las capacidades del estudiante, desarrollo del aprendizaje significativo y considerar al estudiante de forma integral. Lo más importante es trabajar desde la empatía, respeto, curiosidad, ética y profesionalismo que nos lleve a fomentar el éxito académico del estudiante.

I’m my experience I learn to regroup my lesson plans to align with student’s learn abilities and teach from there. I ask a question and follow with ideas answers. I revisit the lesson and questions again and get clarification that every one is getting the lesson that is being taught.

🤹♂️💡 After clarifying my teaching philosophy, I turn my attention to evaluating strategic decisions. Like a master juggler balancing multiple balls in the air, I assess each decision against my educational values and goals. If a decision veers off course, I adjust my approach accordingly, just like the characters of "Lost" adapting to unexpected challenges on the mysterious island.

Las decisiones estratégicas a nivel institucional pueden tener un impacto directo en mi metodología como profesora al influir en los recursos disponibles, los estándares y evaluaciones, el enfoque pedagógico y la cultura institucional. Es importante tener siempre presentes estos factores que deben, por supuesto estar alineados siempre, si no, hay una especie de disociación entre lo que la institución persigue y lo que tu estés haciendo en aula.

Strategic decisions are obviously more rational and objective than our philosophies. Thanks to such objectivity, it's easier to measure and evaluate it. Use it in your favor, not as shackles, but as guidelines.

Okay, you have to evaluate your strategy, but you also have to think about yourself. In my experience, I can say that when you go against your beliefs and philosophy, it makes no sense at all. Everything is a political act, and as a teacher, regardless of your philosophy, it will not make sense to you if you are acting against yourself just to make other people, the community, school, students, etc., comfortable.

Como psicóloga educativa, las decisiones estratégicas que tomo están respaldadas por una serie de razones, objetivos y resultados que buscan promover el aprendizaje y el desarrollo integral de mis estudiantes. Como mi carrera lo exige, debo basarme en la investigación, que estén centradas en el estudiante y orientadas al bienestar emocional.

Our teaching philosophy should define our core beliefs about teaching, so if a strategy does not align, it's time to examine the strategy. It may end up being the appropriate strategy for our classroom at that moment in time. Classroom climate changes often, so understanding how a strategy aligns with my philosophy is important. Maybe my philosophy or the strategy needs tweaking. Also, who determined this strategy? Did administration implement the strategy? Was this a strategy I felt would work well in my classroom and implemented myself? Determining the reasoning or necessity of the strategy is also important. Often we're given directives about using certain strategies, and we just have to figure out how they will work in our classroom.

Nun, zunächst müssen wir festhalten: Es sind gegebenenfalls STRATEGISCHE Entscheidungen. STRATEGISCHE Entscheidungen sind stets Kinder eines pragmatisch-funktionalistischen Prinzips: Ich will, dass etwas auf jeden Fall funktioniert, darum entscheide ich es so - und ich nehme damit ideelle Einbußen in Kauf. Anders gesagt: STRATEGISCHE Entscheidungen SIND bereits ein Kompromiss.

The objective remains the same though the path may vary, the principle philosophy remains the same though strategy needs modification.

Clarifying my strategic decisions is paramount because I want an alignment with who I am as an educator. My strategic decision could mean focusing on career advancement but if I lose the passion for the reason I got into education and/or business then it is a mismatch and I will not be fulfilled.

Getting feedback, may it be from peers or superiors, might help you to see the situation under a light you wouldn't be able to see by yourself. Of course, filter it, reflect on it, try to understand and truly absorb it in order to improve, not only mechanically reproduce something.

The most vital feedback we receive is from our anonymous student surveys. You need to be open minded and willing to learn from this. No matter how you think you are doing, the crucial feedback is the reality that is being experienced by your students. One must be willing to look clearly and decide how to process the information and move forward with a new approach if needed. Then I tend to go to senior teachers and seek support and further insight. At that point of course you need to be willing to change.

This is pretty much the only thing I do, that is, use student feedback. I like to leverage anonymous feedbacks on what is working and what is not. In the end, teaching is pointless if the students aren't learning. Also, I use the exams as a source of feedback. If a huge number of students failed to answer a straightforward exam question, then it's a telltale sign that something gotta change. Philosophy can't be more important than student learning. Regarding perspectives, I think the students must first learn the basics and prove that they learned it. Only then, their perspectives merit consideration. Feelings aren't perspectives. The students must present a thoughtful, rational argument everytime.

I totally agree. Feedback is the most important tool as a teacher. It doesn't mean you have to make your chosen philosophy clear to others, but you need to make sure that your strategy and philosophy are working.

Considero que un feedback constructivo puede ayudarnos a mejorar áreas que puedan necesitar cambios. Y considero que muchas veces el mejor feedback es el que ofrece el estudiante, los compañeros y los coordinadores.

Seeking feedback is very important and helpful. I have a colleague I easily turn to and ask for opinion through the planning stage to execution and he guides me and discusses with me as I clarify the reasons I am using a particular strategy and how it fits in my teaching philosophy. I find this helpful and helpful equally comes to seek my help time to time fostering a spirit of sharing.

I would seek clarification by initiating an open dialogue with my colleagues and leadership team to discuss my concerns, understand their viewpoint and access the possibility of being flexible in o accommodate different teaching approaches which is important for the success of my students and the institution as well.

Sourcing for feedback from parents, teachers, students regarding the situation on ground helps you to see from other perspectives, ideas and resources and you collaborate with other stakeholders, you would get right solution to achieve success.

Adapting to change becomes essential in a situation where the philosophy isn't aligning with strategies. It's okay to accept when something you thought about being correct isn't working out. Theory doesn't always go parallelly with practical applicability. Evolve and see how things come back afresh. Seeking feedback from your colleagues and also the ones you teach always helps! I feel when it comes to teaching there is 'no one size fits all'. It's a very personalized experience both for the teacher as well as the student.

Proven by personal experience as Instructor Officer Teacher Training at Fauji Foundation TTI Pakistan .Introduced the subjects..Teaching of Thinking Skills and Creativity. Attended Training sessions by Bradford Uni.Faculty. Result was the production and designing of low cost teaching aids which led to the Award of National Education Prize in 1998

Siempre he pensado que un profesor que se adapta le apasiona su trabajo. Estamos sufriendo muchos cambios en la educación y en nuestro estudiantes, no podemos dejar que nos arrastre la marea y entremos en un ciclo que des-ayude más que ayude.

Adapting and Innovating is something which I have always found very helpful in my due course of teaching, especially in situations where teaching philosophy and strategic decisions does not align. We always do not get the same kind of batches that all will agree with. Hence, Adapting and Innovating can prove to be the right kind of Solution

The fifth step is to adapt and innovate. How can you adjust your teaching philosophy and your strategic decisions to fit the situation? What are the opportunities, alternatives, and solutions that you can explore? How can you use your creativity, flexibility, and resilience to overcome the challenges? By adapting and innovating, you can find ways to bridge the gap between your teaching philosophy and your strategic decisions, and enhance your teaching effectiveness and satisfaction.

Considerar cómo puedo integrar principios de flexibilidad, resiliencia y adaptabilidad en mi enfoque educativo.Adaptar mi filosofía de enseñanza y mis decisiones estratégicas para abordar las necesidades individuales y colectivas de mis estudiantes en esta situación particular.Experimentar con técnicas de enseñanza activa, aprendizaje colaborativo en línea y evaluación formativa para mejorar la participación y el compromiso de los estudiantes. Ajustar mi filosofía de enseñanza y mis decisiones estratégicas para adaptarse a la situación actual implica reflexionar sobre las necesidades de los estudiantes, explorar nuevas metodologías y enfoques, colaborar con otros y adaptar la evaluación y el apoyo emocional.

First you have to recognize the gaps and differences clearly. You are most likely shifting from an old paradigm to a new paradigm. You will not be super confident during this time. Try to keep your emotions to the side so that they don’t drain your energy. You need to focus your growth mindset on what works in this new reality. This will allow you to make progress logically and adapt “smarter not harder.” Look at it like a wake up call and an opportunity to “feel” like your students. This will help you to be a better problem solver and contributor to best practice going forward.

I believe that we can't really plan out , because students can be unpredictable and they can have multiple issues so the only thing is to be emphatic and compassionate

Procurar sempre estar inovando no processo de aprendizagem dos nossos alunos, achando estratégias no que eles mais utilizam no dia a dia: a tecnologia. Por exemplo: se sentem alguma dificuldade em criações de gráficos, uma das melhores formas é trabalhar com a construção de infográficos através de aplicativos e manualmente para treinar ainda mais a criatividade e a forma de apresentação. Assim surgem novas ideias e novos projetos interdisciplinares.

A reflexao é fundamental para perceber mudancas, aprender e melhorar as decisões estratégicas. Inclusive aprender novas tecnologias é manter-se atualizado para superar e dar passos mais asssertivos com projetos e pessoas.

“To thine own self, be true.” A line of Shakespeare’s quoted and used, maybe too much. But, when it comes to teaching and our careers it rings quite clear. I taught communication skills; Business and Professional Communication, as well as Interpersonal Communication courses. A part of my teaching philosophy involves student engagement. When “Distance Learning” (as it was first called) emerged in the late eighties, I thought, “Nope, not me.” Well, I enjoyed thirty more years of flying under that online course offerings radar. Never did I teach online, a course that I believed, and still believe, needs to be taught in the classroom. I liken it to getting a haircut, or going to the dentist—some things you just have to be present for.

One skill of any teacher is flexibility ability to adapt and innovate set you apart as a creative teacher..Having a stereotype mind is not a personal way to grow

Reflection serves as a cornerstone for growth, enabling us to discern shifts and refine our strategic planning. It's the compass guiding us towards improvement and innovation. Embracing new technologies isn't just about staying current; it's about embracing the future with open arms. It empowers us to navigate the evolving landscape of education confidently. By embracing change and continuously updating our skills, we equip ourselves to overcome obstacles and take bold, assertive steps toward progress.

Refletir sobre tudo que cerca o papel que desempenhamos em um empresa é essencial. O que eu penso sobre como devo agir e como estou agindo? O sentimento, a ansiedade que nos preenche, mesmo antes de tomar uma decisão de como agir já nos diz muito. Se a forma de agir não é livre, você está, realmente, sendo feliz? Até que ponto está no cargo, empresa ou, até mesmo, na carreira que te faz sorrir por dentro. Vale à pena não ser feliz para deixar outras pessoas satisfeitas quando se trata de uma decisão de trabalho. Realmente, precisamos refletir sobre a forma que estamos agindo.

Rediscovery is key. Need to readjust your set principle to improve your teaching philosophy and make good decisions. When the said conflict is identify your philosophy may be edited or compromise in other to meet the demand of the identified case.

As a teacher when you reflect and learn, you must look at four things. • students’ view • colleagues perspective • your personal experiences • new ideas or theories you may have A little tool that I do is film myself teaching a lesson with the students second reflect on it and learn from it. 🍎📖✨

Meine Lehrphilosophie und meine Entscheidungen geraten bislang nicht in Konflikt miteinander, denn ich treffe ja die Entscheidungen für meine Handlungen AUFGRUND meiner Lehrphilosophie. Sollte hier je eine solche Diskrepanz entstehen, wie mit der Fragestellung angedeutet, müsste ich mich selbst ganz grundsätzlich in Frage stellen.

Salir del patrón e innovar Enseñar una lengua muchas veces no es fácil, ya que de parte de algunas personas encontrarás resistencia y rechazo hacia ese aprendizaje, lo importante es buscar la forma de poder captar la atención y lograr de a poco introducir el aprendizaje deseado, probando distintas estrategias y logrando la aprobación y aceptación paulatinamente.

I appreciate the excellent suggestions. In the end, however, teach with a primary focus on maximizing your own unknown developmental potential, and let your students witness that as they absorb class information. That primary focus serves is yourself AND your students. (When you take a serious first aid class, working through scenarios, a good instructor will often cry out, "Who's number one?!" The students are to cry out in response, "I'm number one.") So as an immediate secondary goal, focus on the developmental potential of your students, working with each as whole individuals; this will feed you as well. Your mission is far greater than preparing to enter the "work force." Ponder all the suggestions, but do not compromise on the above.

For the given situation, I'd re-consider the strategy that I've made and re consider the fact that the philosophy isn't something that can't be changed as per the time. Both the strategy and the philosophy has to be reviewed at a certain time and place.
