Eighth Entry

Our classmates from university will, at some point, become our colleagues. I believe that from the very begin we must propend to learn about having healthy relationships with colleagues. This is important because on one hand, knowledge is built in community and we should never be enclosed to "absolut thruths". We all may vary as teachers in the approaches and methods we use when teaching nevertheless we will always share knowledge area and reflections upon it will be much broader if we allow ourselves to let constructive comments into our praxis too. I cannot imagine a profession without colleagues as far as their perspectives can also help us solve challenges or struggling situations. After understanding that we must be able to enhance communication with pairs (another language teachers) also we must be dynamic when working at any institution where we will find teachers from other areas. A constant and systematic interdisciplinary work is also part of an ideal education. When we can figure out through curriculum how can different subjets can interact and trade approaches and dydactics, learning becomes a much more enhanced process. More interesting and also, motivating.

Fourth Entry

As English day comes forth, recycling is a concept professor and the school are instilling to students from the very beginning. That is why they are planning every single detailing aspect of this day based on recycling, re using and reducing. This is great as it shows students the many stuff that can be done with used things that look useless. They have done great craftwork with recycling materials from necklaces to astronaut costumes which shows them a different and fun way to recycle.

Second Entry

As my very first week of observing classes at school, I start individualizing some particular situations I have never faced before as the class management with students that have ADD. In the very first sight without grasping it, the situation profiles as very challenging and demanding as it is true that one student can deorganize a whole classroom. Anyway, what I have seen this far, I like the posibility of being able to learn from my pairs and major teachers how to deal with this kind of students that should not be ever considered as sick or marginal. They just need to be helped on finding an school perspective they can use as a rational reason for being compromised with their own learning process. This is why I pay special attention to those students' behaviours that are unveleing new for my pre-service formation. At this initial point I cannot describe specific learnings or take any kind of conclusions nevertheless expectatives are high enough to keep on paying attention to the ...

First entry; A broad description of the School.

The school I am practicing in is Called "Guadalupano de la Salle". It is located in Buenos Aires, a neighborhood on the east of Medellín compound by a wide diversity of socieconomical contexts that co-exist. The name of the school suggest the foundational stone for the pedagogy there practiced, which is merely christian but also focused on the human being and its development. Leadership, equity and innovation are the banner values for this educative establishment as it affirms to be a school prepared to tackle the inclusion problems given inside educative reality in Colombia. It is mixed and kind of personalized as there are only one group per grade where middle and upper groups would not achieve to have more than 15-18 students. Guadalupano de la Salle is based upon the pedagogical ideal given by the now saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle a french priest and educational reformer founder of Christian Schools. This is managed on the comtemporary times by adapting the school to ne...
