Teacher Portrait: A Personal-Professional Reflection Challenge In teaching, there is often a tension between the professional demands and personal motivations for being a teacher. It can be a challenge to remember the noble aspirations and personally rewarding features of a vocational calling to teach when dealing with the messy, everyday realities and intractably conflicting priorities of busy school environments. As part of my participation in the…

Book Review: “Difference Maker: Enacting Systems Theory in Biology Teaching” by Christian Moore-Anderson Challenge: Often, in education, there is a tension between teacher-led instruction and student-led exploration. There is at times a desire to comprehensively cover conceptual details from across the curriculum by presenting well established facts, theories and processes, on the one hand, while also accepting that learners have their own desires, interests, and established ways of knowing and being. These challenges are made all the more profound when it seems that learners are not so obviously connected to the aspirations or concrete circumstances that generated the knowledge systems that teachers are wishing to communicate.
