Reflection

I have decided to add my Frame of Reference as evidence towards the TRB

Standard 1. This is because my Frame of Reference illustrates my core values as
both an educator and a human being with a unique life and teaching experiences
operating within different cultural expectations.

Due to different upbringings influenced by the intertwining of cultural, societal and

other key factors every individual on this planet has a unique life experience.
Students bring these different experiences to the classroom. It is therefore my role
as an educator is to help guide students to achieve their full potential while also
being deferential and compassionate in regard to the different life experiences that
students bring to the classroom. This is achieved through the non-negotiable sense
of moral duty that compels me to strive to provide the best educational experience
possible for my students.

I sincerely believe that my Frame of Reference is compelling evidence that I have

consistently cared about my students and that I bring a great deal of relevant
experience to my classroom. It provides my personal history, my beliefs and
perspectives toward education and life. It also clearly shows that I have and always
will care about my students. This is fundamentally showed in two central ways.
Firstly, there has always been a consistent level of professional decorum and
genuine care regarding the development of my students. Secondly by my
acceptance of the contingent factors that play such a key influence in both the
learning and teaching process.
