When the learner’s bag has been confiscated, the learner can either spend

the whole day bunking classes or attend all of the classes and spend the

whole day not being able to write any activities which is very frustrating for

any teacher.

AN IDEAL TEACHER THAT THE SCHOOL NEEDS

Having discussed the context of the school that we find ourselves in and

shared common ideas with the group members, we have noticed that an

ideal teacher that the school need and below is our shared common ideas of

an ideal teacher needed for our school.

We think that an “ideal” teacher for this school, would be one possess who

is “critically conscious, socially just and inclusive of all children and

the cultural funds of knowledge, they. In this regard, cultural inclusion

and the value of indigenous knowledge, so that all ways of knowing are

incorporated into teaching and learning.” To elaborate further on that

point, we believe that the school also needs a teacher who will believe in the

ability of their learners. This means that the teacher must hold high academic

standards and expectations for all of the learners, and enthusiastically

encourage all learners to reach those standards and beyond. Treat all

learners as competent and developing by putting their focus on fostering a

‘growth mindset’. Design lessons with your most underserved learners in

mind.
