MY NEW THREE TAKEWAYS
1.
The first takeway
is that I have to be aware
of expectations of my
students when coming
into the classroom, If I want
to get the
respect of them, the planning is
the main aspect to take
care of. A
teacher also represents a
leader for students,
most of them
are observing, analizig and waiting
much of his/her
actions and behaviorism since he starts a process. So we as
teachers have to be careful
of our rol.
2. We should
know of our students their lives, living conditions, expectations, dreams and so
much data we can
do it so
that we help
them in their learning process.
3. We as teachers have
to learn how
to work in a
team, sometimes it
is necessary to
share strategies, experiencies and
to Know if we can implement
new ideas that they
have done in the
classroom.

OVERALL REFLECTION OF MY TRAINING WITH HAAGA HELIA.
Although the last module still pending, I wanted to
let you know how pleased I am with the training results and the quality of
training that I have received from you at Haaga
Helia. I started with you in August
of 2014 and have been coming for
six weekly sessions for almost 30 hours.
Since last year I have learnt so
many important things that I never
considered important for
my job before. Right now I feel much
better and more aware of small
details of my
teaching practice.
The information have been excellent. I have had
teachers in the past, but never one of
such high quality and able to push me to obtain such satisfactory results. Be updated
is always important and with a
team of the highest quality. Your
workshops were always varied and challenging however I have not experienced any
discouragement. Thanks for ensuring that this does not occur with this
training.
Thank you so much for your guidance, support and
excellent training. I have learned many things from your training sessions that
I will carry forward each time that I visit the
classroom.
Sincere regards,
Rodrigo Alberto Jácome

MY REFLECTIONS ABOUT THE PRE-ASSIGMENT
Workplaces in Colombia and Vocational Education in
your country.
I would
like to start this
reflection with these statements:
“Education is the master key to innovate, grow and to give equal opportunities
to all “.
Everybody
Knows this, however, in Colombia
“ this Education” comes to few
people, those who have the
economical capacity to pay the right to get it.
Only the Sena as
a public Institution meets
the requirements for those
people who does not have that
capacity because it is free.
Sena tries all the time
to update, to innovate
, to improve the
quality of its
education not only for
its students but of
its instructors too.
Now, Talking
about vocational Education in Colombia I can see
many contradictions ,taking into account
the first reading about
the new leaders and the
strategies and politics
that Colombia is considering
to be in
this process of having
those kind of
leaders, we realize that Technical
schools, Sena and universities in charge
of this
work, have to make deep changes.
First, they should update curriculums and programs to make
the students to have not
only technical knowledge, skills and qualities but also
values and principles to
face new challenges
successfully.
We as Sena
Instructors, see how our
students get a very good level
of Technical Knowledge and Skills to
work in their areas
of study, but their behaviorism
in places of
working are not the
best. They give up easily
when they find a
big problem to
solve, Most of them have
problems to fulfill schedules, to
be on time, to interact
with others, to be responsible.
However, when they
have to develop a project, they
get excellent results. Then; to get
those new leaders
How we improve
in our students to have deep integrity and intellectual
openness, or to find new ways to create
loyalty, to teach them how to
work in a team is necessary
to create a new
culture in the classrooms.
Now, if we want to
have leaders, the leadership of principals and teachers is a determining
factor in the quality of education, so
we must start doing the
things very well by ourselves.
We design the culture of leadership in a learning
environment and we determine which faculty, course or group of students should be related to this
platform.
It is also needed the organizational culture, to give
managers more time to think about the big picture of what the institutions have
to do.
In our society we need good leaders and globally we
have a deficit of leadership. So the questions should be: how can we get good leaders? and how is it possible
that in a society of seven billion human beings we have
a difficulty finding them? That's where education start its
real work.
*****
Other aspects to consider
at macro level is
that In Latin America there is little long-term planning to define the
number and quality of Teachers at each grade level, the number of technicians
and people with graduate degrees would be required form, curriculum content and cultivating
essential values in a changing world.
The role play technology, the content should be given
priority to train and promote happiness in a changing world, the role of memory
when all available knowledge and ways to improve cognitive skills are some of
the issues tracking. At Sena, we are
trying to develop new digital
citizens and students against of
their awareness of bad use of
technology.
The role play technology, the content that should be
given priority to train and promote happiness in a changing world.
The subject that you teach
Nowadays, English is a subject that is covering a high
importance and the government center its efforts is English language
acquisition. As many countries, Colombia
is targeted national educational agendas focuses on the attainment of
competitiveness in this globalized world.
A world that changes with the years and within the language, in this
case with teaching and learning English occur the same thing. Graddol (2006) explores these changes through
the analysis of factors that influence in language learning process and how they
impact in the vision of world and English language as a bridge of connection
between all social spheres. One of
teaching and learning language goal from government policy is that everyone,
students, teachers, professionals should be competent speakers of English and
have the skills in the use of ICT’s as a part of our curricula, but world-wide
performance in language by students in Colombia, especially from some public
schools is poor.
According to the results about National English test, the MEN has found
that teachers in Colombia are limited to make their labor as ELT should be, the
government based on national tests results affirms that teachers are not
qualified. Since the application of
evaluation to teachers and students, these tests only have been used to show
what they know about the language and the results are used as a tool to
evaluate teacher’s development (Decreto 1278, 2002). Even so, in public schools is notorious to
find creative, hunger teachers to find better ways to teach English in a communicative
way. Hence, to study other curriculums
from other countries, especially from countries where the English has another
position inside the educational system can give us idea in how to apply this
methodology, materials in our Colombian public schools contexts. Teachers and especially teachers
administrators need to understand the principles of CLT. These principles involve the goals of
language to teach and to learn, the ways learners learn languages, the kind of
classroom activities, the role of teacher and the role of student to at the end
of the course students are more capable subjects to communicate with others in
English, obtaining at least B1 (CEFR, 2006).
The future of English in Colombia is focus in how the
government is centered on the preparation from universities to future teachers,
but it would be better that such training was initiated at the Escuelas
normales where it would actually initiating process of bilingualism at an early
age with the educational practices of these pre-service teachers. On the other hand, some aspects that
influence in the successful of this global language is that in public schools
this signature is taught in three hours per week, teachers use in creative way
all the materials that the school environment gives him/her, and all sources
that learner use to self-internalization of the language, overcrowded classroom
affect not only teachers health, relations between students and teachers, and
teachers with other peers.
In
conclusion, it could be interesting if the government (MEN and SENA )reorganize their trends related with
the Bilingual Program according to the school context, to give the teaching
labor the place what is and the government could offer to teachers better
opportunities to improve their salary level and health conditions, and in this
way they are interested to update their English level, because it results very
expensive to pay for specializations, masters or PhD.

My Point of View of WHAT RETARDS DEVELOPMENT OF COLOMBIA.
I liked this video very much, The person who says the comments is one of the best pedagogues in our country , he was the mayor of Bogota and was a candidate to be president, It seems to me that all his actions are smart and these produce good results as it happened when was the best mayor in Colombia. This video is related to my last comments about the new small changes needed to improve the Educational Colombian System. As antanas Mockus says, we have three serious problems that make Colombia´s Development , included its Education, has a slow advance in society.
If we analize his words of reflection , law + Moral+ culture = Development, we realize that he is right . He explains that there are important reasons to have a slow development in our country, The first one is about our Colombian laws, he says that we hope much of these laws but we really scoff of them; that is, our awareness gives permission to make exceptions from them.
A second reason is that we have improved our Educational system in coverage and amount, but the results have been cheating and deception, governors try to show things that are not really true. We are doing a Simulation of Education which brings different results to our children and young people.
The third one is our culture of violence, our coexistence, this is related to the first reason. Laws are not respected, Agreements are not respected, Rights are not respected. All these three reasons taken as an unique problem show that our laws go is one direction and the culture goes in a opposite way

OUR NEW SMALL CHANGES
We as parents, as teachers and colombian citizens are always waiting for big changes in our Educación society, however; many of those changes begin at home as parents, at school as teachers, and of course as Colombian citizens. Are we coherent with our goal to educate students who are healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged and who are ready for the demands of college, career, and citizenship. Are we giving the correct examples in every aspect of our daily behaviorism ? When we think as Colombians we find a big challenge to fight against subcultures which have had a big influence in our children, in our younger people.
We talk to them about the importance of a family, the responsability and the respect; but not always we as adults take care of it properly.
We can help to our education very much when we are an example to be followed by sons and students, doing the best in every moment of our daily life, inspiring them to be better.
