This week it was brought to my attention that I needed to begin to think about 'IMAGE', I need to think about how I would like my future students, parents and even colleagues to view me. We were asked to bring in an artifact that we believed represented our ideas about teaching, the first thing that sprung to mind was the ocean. Now this was not because I would like to spend my days lounging around the beach, but because whenever I am at the beach a sense of calm washes over me and in the future I wish to be a calming figure that my students like to be around.
Not only do you have to think about the image of yourself as a teacher you need to think about how the image of your classroom is going to look and the type of environment that surrounds it. I feel as though these two ideas of image are very important to think about as every teacher is different and you can decide how you would like to be interpreted, in my mind I believe that is one of the many reasons why I decided I wanted to be a teacher this is due to being able to have freedom and to a degree being able to portray your knowledge in a way that you believe is most suitable.
