When reviewing the collaborative aspects of my work the peppered moth activity worked well. By planning and dividing the work between my peers enabled us to produce a workshop that was successful. I have discovered that communication is the most important aspect when working in a group.
For example the workshop for DACA was unsuccessful as part of my team where not communicating with us after many attempts to contact them to plan our workshop my teammates decided that they wanted to cancel the workshop which left me and my teammate feeling sad and frustrated. Vince Lombardi states that “Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.”
Which is true in my opinion each person has to participate for the workshop to become successful. Working together as a team it was great to get a different perspective and approaches to the workshop ideas. Working in a team was a fun experience, which has, leads me to consider this approach in my future projects.
When reflection upon the key development it within my own personal skillset would have to be my confidence, for example the micro teaching brief was very scary, as I have always struggled with anxiety attacks. However I managed to overcome this aspect using methods such as breathing exorcizes and by placing your self if more stressful situations to overcome your anxiety. Bergsten suggest that best solutions which will help concur your anxiety is “focus on caring about teaching and making adequate preparations for each class, but they are also likely to involve taking things less seriously, easing up on oneself.” Also the Amy Cuddy video help me as it suggested that i face being brave and confident untill I make it. This technique has been working well.
Planning my workshop was the most helpful thing in my options I discovered this in my micro teaching workshop. By planning my workshop correctly I was able to comply with the ten-minute time limit and if my workshop was to quick its best to have a back up activity, as you can never be to prepared.

My placement in DACA has helped me to understand that there are many different approaches to teaching art. Artist have to consider and question everything about by using strategies such as will help you teaching methods.
. Use themes and big ideas driven by essential questions to frame your investigation
. Give students options: introduce multiple artists and media sources
. Push beyond a media-driven curriculum
. Think and talk more; make less
. Emphasize process over product
The art teachers in DACA all incorporated these strategies into their lessons and worked successfully. I now understand that teaching in a high school is not for me as most of the students do not wish to be in the lesson or want to learn. I would like to peruse teaching college students or adults as they are more mature and want to learn.
During the Six Form lesions I really enjoyed my time there as all the students where motivated when creating their work the environment was completely different form the school class as I felt the learning was forced however in the six form class the teaching approach was more nurturing both tutor and student where enjoying their time in the lesion.
When researching the different quality’s you should have to teach higher education states that you will need to be able to relate well to students of all ages and abilities. You’ll need good organisation and planning skills. You’ll also need patience and a sense of humour. Which is true as can always remeber my college tutors always-making jokes and not being to serious with the students.
The qualifications which I would have to attain if wanted to be a college tutor include: Level 1 2 4 and 5 and also You will be expected to already hold a minimum of a Level 3 qualification in the subject area you wish to teach. You will also need a teaching qualification that is relevant to the level of teaching responsibility that you have in your job. -
The Educator brief has helped me to visualize a clear plan for my future career. By researching the different requirements and roles you have to consider when teaching is more complex as I first perceived. Teaching requires a lot of effort and dedication this brief has given me the inspiration and support to try and achieve me teaching goal.
