MY TEACHING METAPHOR

Everybody has a different view of life and this exactly happens when we talk about the teaching and learning process. This painting is my first attempt to draw the ideas inside my head about teaching. 

I can say that teaching is an amazing adventure where we are going to find challenges and obstacles to achieve our objectives. The sea represents the extensive amount of knowledge at our disposal, which can be used to know more about the world around us. The teacher assumes the role as the starter motor that helps and guides the students. However students are their own captain because they have the chance to choose what the best way or strategy to attain their goals is.  Moreover, students use the tools and support provided by their teacher to overcome their limitations and problems.

The anchors represent the constraints in the teaching-learning process that delay the arrival of learning, these constraints can be come out on top if all the elements work together and go after the same results. Every class is a journey where students need to learn from experience, feel motivated and have a clear objective to collect meaningful life lessons (learning).
