The following slide contextualises the presentation slides

The slides which follow are essentially just cue-cards for the presentation of my teaching philosophy which is based on “Four P’s”: Preparation, Participation, Passion, Personality

I decided to use the analogy of baking a cake/teaching a good lesson.

The notes below each slide are the words behind the picture.

But actually,…… you had to be there.

…. ON FOUR LEGS

PREPARATION PARTICIPATION PASSION PERSONALITY

Don’t teach just to pass exam papers. Properly embedded knowledge and skills

“for life” Link to real world as far as possible Continuous assessment - OPPORTUNITY PEOPLE need motivation, love and support Lead by example Environment: Orderly, happy, fun “Choose to enjoy every day, and have fun

with your students”

My teaching philosophy desires learning that lasts a lifetime. To achieve it, my teaching rests on four legs:

Preparation Participation Passion Personality
