Eddie Woo's Teacher Journey
@misterwootube Thanks for joining us! Highly appreciate it!
We delve into the journey of educator Eddie Wu from Wootube, known for his math tutorials on UA-cam. Eddie's passion for teaching stemmed from a desire to help others learn, leading him on a path of continuous improvement. He emphasises the value of learning from failures and stresses the significance of observation and reflection in teaching practices. The discussion between Dan and Eddie explores the challenges teachers face with classroom observations and the importance of feedback and growth.
The conversation evolves to touch on the evolution of teaching practices, the role of self-reflection in professional growth, and the need for a supportive learning environment. They share insights into the inner fears and concerns of teachers, emphasising the importance of creating a culture of psychological safety for educators. The significance of continuous learning and improvement in teaching is highlighted, along with the transformative impact of self-assessment through recording classroom lessons.
Furthermore, the dialogue underscores the idea of teachers as lifelong learners, advocating for ongoing professional development, collaboration, and embracing new teaching strategies. They emphasise the value of seeking feedback, engaging with research, and learning from diverse sources to adapt to the evolving needs of students. The conversation concludes by emphasising the complexities, challenges, and rewards of teaching, highlighting the continuous quest for growth, learning, and collaboration in the pursuit of excellence in education.
We explore various ways to enhance ourselves as educators, offering advice for new teachers and experienced educators alike. The importance of seeking input from peers, experimenting with different techniques, and embracing feedback is stressed as crucial for professional growth. Addressing the issue of teacher workload, we discuss the dynamic nature of achieving work-life balance through reflection, self-assessment, and prioritising relationships amidst professional demands.
Through shared experiences, reflections, and collaborative efforts, educators can navigate the multifaceted challenges of teaching and foster a culture of continual learning within the education community. The conversation with Eddie provides valuable insights into striving towards excellence, enriching teaching practices, and positively impacting the lives of students through continuous growth and development.

    The thinking routines are consistent with design thinking : See (discover), think (define), wonder (develop). Using this thinking routine with the question "what makes you say that" can really help students gather evidence to make good decisions for themselves instead of relying on teachers to provide the correct answer. Thank you for the insightful podcast!

    I love this conversation. I am still a student, working to get my degree in education (so you can take my thoughts with a grain of salt). However, I think that it is important to use both explicit instruction and student-inquiry. They both have their place. For example, you should teach the concept of multiplication if it is first being introduced, and then plan a project where multiplication an option for solving the problem (I.e. a project to select and purchase a class pet and it’s supplies). We need to be explicitly taught much of the content so that we have the background information needed to come to our own conclusions using different strategies. How else would we have the academic terms for the act of multiplying?

    I wasn't able to watch all the sessions. I paid the fee for the conference but was hoping to watch it later. When I went to check it there is now a payment asked for. Almost 100$. I am disappointed I didn't see that there was going to be such a large fee to watch missed sessions. Thank you for your consideration to give me a few days to watch the missed sessions. Have a great day.

      Hey Kari. Recordings were available as part of your $2 fee for 7 days after the conference. Access to the recordings for longer requires further expense on my part hence the larger fee to access recordings for 12 months. Sorry for any miscommunication that may have occurred along the way.

    Setting up the classroom - my question relates to the secondary situation, where I do not 'own' a room, and share it with others. How do I promote this concept of literacy - collaborating with the students to give them this feeling of ownership. Given also that it is not 'their' room either, it's shared with numerous other classes.

    • @TeachersPD
      @TeachersPD 3 роки тому

      Hi Barbara. Try and have the students collaborate on how the classroom will run rather than what it looks like. Will they line up outside, stand behind desks and wait to be greeted or walk in when they get there and find their own seat? You could also collaborate on how they will learn, the context they apply the content to etc. You are basically building in student voice about the class and learning right from the beginning and giving them the opportunity to contribute. This will also allow you to see them communicate, work as a team possibly and help you to get to know your students at the start. I hope that helps Dan
