If,

as a teacher,

• I present the same lessons in the same manner that I have used in the past;
• I seek no feedback from my students;
• I do not analyse and evaluate their work in a manner that changes my own emphasis, repertoire, and timing;
• I do not visit or observe other adults as they teach;
• I do not share the share the work of my students with colleagues for feedback, suggestions and critiques;
• I do not visit other schools or attend particular workshops or seminars or read professional literature on aspects of my teaching;
• I do not welcome visitors with experience and expertise to observe and provide feedback to me on my classroom practice;
• I have no yearly individualised professional development plan focused on classroom changes to improve student learning;and finally,
• I have no systemic evaluation of my teaching tied to individual, grade/department and school wide goals,

Then

I have absolutely no way to

become better as a teacher.
