What have you learned about your teaching throughout your years of experience? Do you take time to look introspectively at what works well for you and why so that you can replicate it? In this episode, Carmen Scoggins, a Spanish teacher in North Carolina, joins me to talk us through her 5 universal truths about teaching. Though our personal experiences and truths may be a little different, hearing how Carmen frames her universal truths provides an effective framework for articulating our own, and the benefits of doing it.
Topics in this Episode:
- what Carmen means by “Universal Truths about Teaching” and how she discovered them
- the key universal truths Carmen believes are essential for teachers to understand and embrace
- how these universal truths apply specifically to the context of world language teaching
- examples of how these truths have influenced Carmen’s own teaching practices and student outcomes
- why and how teachers can incorporate these universal truths into their teaching philosophy and practice
