Ideal teacher needed for the school

Creativity

An ideal teacher for North-

cliff needs to be knowledge-
able with their subject

knowledge and have a good
pedagogical knowledge. This

means that this teacher

should be guided the curricu-
lum but look beyond what is

prescribed. Through adapt-
st
ing and modifying the curriculum. To enable and equip learners with 21 century skills. Addi-
tionally, evoke curiosity, imagination, initiative and entrepreneur skills, collaborative and cre-
ative writing. Encourage learning through play and gives learners an opportunity for authentic

learning.

When we clearly analyse the current curriculum, one can clearly deduce that it takes an objec-

tive-oriented stance. In fact, Sahlberg (2010) contends that formal education has a dual
controversial role in a sense that it attempts to promote creativity while it simultaneously

destroys it. Courville (2011)
also argues that creativity can

only be noticed when learners
are not subjected to inflexible

standards that are imposed on

learning by curriculum
designers.

In a Northcliff high school

context, an ideal teacher would
lobby the incorporation of

creativity and artistry in an
attempt ensure that learners are

able to express themselves beyond what the curriculum prescribes.
