A reading by Peter Westwood(2000) Numeracy and Learning difficulties: Approaches to teaching and learning assessment. ACER:Victoria Australia
He writes about why our tamariki fail in Maths. Essentially it depended on the approaches, attitudes and teaching methods of the kaiako, not catering to the tamariki in front of them.
As future teachers we need to take this seriously.
Ask yourself:
Do I have what it takes to cater for diverse classrooms?
Am I willing to listen to others to inform my practice?
What are my strengths and weaknesses?
What am I willing to do to develop my weaknesses into more strengths?
What expectations do I have of tamariki I am teaching?
Take some time to think through these questions
