A Post Worth Noting #1
From time to time you come across a post that is worth sharing and collecting for future reference.
Today I was catching up on my Netvibes account (as you do) and Durff’s post “Who Do You Want To Be?” caught my attention.
According to research there are three types of teachers: expert, experienced, and novice. They each focus on different aspects of classroom culture.
Expert teachers are more effective scanners of classroom behaviour, make greater reference to the language of instruction and learning of students, whereas experienced teachers concentrate more on what the teacher is saying and doing to the class and novices concentrate more on student behaviour. (Hattie, 2003).

Hmmm now which one am I?
Thanks Durff (and Hattie) for challenging us with your work.
