The curriculum K-12
is designed to be an outcomes based curriculum it is known to hone different competencies
in the learner which he/she can use in the future. Living now in the 21st
century with our 21st century learners, with the most updated way of
learning were you can learn anytime, anywhere, because of the abundant sources
of knowledge. Given these many sources for references some of the students or
pupils think going to school is irrelevant, because what’s the point of going
to school if you can acquire all the knowledge within just one click on the
search bar? That’s why as teachers it is our responsibility to eradicate that
kind of mindset, because living in this world full of opportunities is a
competition. A competition between competent students or people who are good at
doing the job required. School ranks, IQ, and Graduate titles come second,
because what is the use of these titles and ranks if you are not as skillful as
the other person who has no ranks, and we the teachers will help
pupils/students be as skillful as everyone else in the world, thus staying in
school is very important.
As a future teacher I have
inclined my teaching in this phrase
“Teach everybody, everything”
A
child is a blank slate, given us teacher huge opportunity to inculcate various
of concepts as early as possible for life-long learning. We should not limit
our students/pupils based on their ranks or age the earlier he/she is exposed
with huge amount of knowledge the better. Gradually until the child finishes his/her
childhood level. The blank slate that you were referring will start to make
wonders and will soon change the world. As the teacher you are in charge of the
data or concepts you will transfer to them, also we must ensure that we
transfer minimal concepts per day/session to prevent too much information to
accumulate. Remember we are raising a future changer not a robot, let us not
also forget that children learn best on playing thus we must always integrate
play on our activities.
