"The truth calls us to deliver communities that are a part of the fidelity bonds fidelity in which our truth resides. This view is dangerous, for filing, will transform us, require us to become something new. The truth of our lives is no longer their own, but belong to the whole community of creation "(Palmer, to know that we are known , p. 67 -68).

Palmer in this quote nested role and effects of the truth within our concept of who we are and what we have. One of the fears that attend those who are genuinely trying to change, improve and improve, which, if their developing character, determination and clarity of vision will be held in this effort during their life. first fear I felt in that moment when I realized I was experiencing a form of illumination and insight into the unique human experience, was whether I could stay true to that vision, and thus are an example of obedience to the truth, to prepare me for the receipt of such re-clarifying the experience of life.

who can not be separated from the principles and truths that give meaning and direction of my life. As I improve and become the person I believe I can, then that consciousness dictates expectations to guide me in how and what becomes meaningful and true in my life. When the teacher focuses on the expression of learning (homework, written assignments, oral responses) without any appreciation for how it defines the learning of students without regard to compassion for the student, then the student will experience a worsening of his / her self-identity.

This deterioration may be reflected in the short story. In the elementary class, the teacher held up a self-portrait of one of her students. This student is shy, rarely spoke or participated in discussions, not well treated by other students, a second time, basically ignored. teacher wanted to show the effect of negative comments and exchanges could have a child.

She began by telling the children had a story about a person in the picture. When the student got on the bus, the bus driver barked at her and said hurry up, I pulled out a piece of kasno.nastavnik girl's self-portrait. When a student has received from the bus, the boy bumped into her and said, "Why do not you watch where you are going!" teacher tore off another piece of a girl's self-portrait. When the girl went to place my coat and bag on a shelf, another student said, "You can not put things out there, this is my place!" ; Teacher tore off another piece of women's self-portrait During reading class, the teacher asked a question a shy girl, but she was slow to react, so that teachers ignore it and let other students answer a teacher .. and then tore off another piece of women's self-portrait. When the children went to lunch in the school cafeteria, the older a child bumped into her and knocked her some food on the floor, and then someone yelled at her, "Clean that up!" Another piece of women's self-portrait was torn off. So far there was not much left of the little girl. at the end of the day, the girl began to cry, a colleague said, "Do not cry baby." Something inside the little girl died just a little bit every time a part of her self-portrait was torn away.

class has become very quiet. They felt the pain. They are not like the feeling. They knew it was wrong. The teacher then led a discussion about how each student could do his / her self-portrait of the girls back, and thus the self-image, of which she is a role she can take the class.

Palmer asks us to heal the wounds inflicted by society on its members. Teachers should be experts in healing the wounds of personal identity, fostering and maintaining a child's vision and / or beliefs in which she / he can become. How do I see myself allows me the space to others that they can view themselves. part of which can be seen, and some who were inside them, and I can only see what they want and reveal to me. Many are afraid to go inside, because the others are down and who have become marginalized. I have to create a space that allows them to recognize their place.

As I was growing up and learning to make friends, I realized that people I knew one of two effects on me. They are either influenced me worry more or less take care of life and its various activities. That idea served me well over time. the impact of this class, our discussion and are gaining increased skills in expressing ideas, truth and identity, I was led to another realization. This knowledge affects our ability to maintain those positive traits and characteristics of our identity, especially under duress.

people and associate with and still have one of the two influences in my life. They are either to extend and enhance their identity, or they belittle and marginalize. This principle is experienced in our schools every day with a profound negative impact on the student's identity and their social role. This realization is similar to watching the skills I learned while studying and enjoying photography. When I look at the person to take their pictures, I noticed that their facial symmetry is. not exactly balanced each person's nose points on the left or right side. I do not know how dominant I also realized that beauty is a feature occurred when the person was a balanced facial symmetry.

The facial symmetry has to do with the expansion or reduction of who we are? Philosophically, I was able to refine the earlier principle, and in the process increased my awareness of how our interactions affect and influence our identity. This principle is important in how teachers and persons in positions of authority to increase or marginalize other people, especially students.

This article is about the importance of identity for all people, adults and adolescents, and how it affects the quality and type of interaction between teachers and students. It provides the philosophical basis and understanding of the adage, "do not care how much you know until I know how much you care!" I hope to show by a few experiences that education is the lack of vision or the entire understanding the importance of individual identity and social roles was a frustrating students and corrupting environment learning.

II Area / work some things unsaid .

experience happened this semester, which helped me to understand a person's identity and how I might increase it, but people challenge the role of students.

Walter, not his real name, was one of my lectures and problems. These difficulties result in confusing his large group of teachers and getting into trouble. We got along all right in small group classes, because I was able to communicate with him easily, because there were fewer students in the class and the relationship is different.

We got along all right in small group classes, because I was able to communicate with him easily, because there were fewer students in the class and the relationship is different.

later in the semester, was that some problems again. While the class was busy with the business group, I invited Walter to visit with me on the side of the classroom. He came over, sat down, and strained his behavior. He was ready to be criticized for his disorder. He was ready to experience more negative teacher-student private conference. He heard it before and will probably hear it again.

I became a better person / teacher, because I recognize this is a moment in which a place for learning and the space to have their identity recognized happened. I expected the thought left unsaid, and reaped the cooperation and goodwill that is sought. I learned to be a teacher by being a positive influence on his life and offer him the role and place in our class.

II October Sky: how the choice to discover who we are? .

Philosophy offers a range of insights and views about who we are (ontologically), what we know (epistemological) and what we value as a beautiful (axiological). Reading October Sky , then it develops into teaching materials to take me on a path that reflects the principles of identity and truth in teaching.

Philosophy offers a range of insights and views about who we are (ontologically), what we know (epistemological) and what we value as a beautiful (axiological). Reading October Sky , then it develops into teaching materials to take me on a path that reflects the principles of identity and truth in teaching.

I will explain the meta-cognitive process, I have traveled to see something very familiar in a completely different context. First, read the text and realized that it would be interesting for other students to read. I thought it was novel, first as an English teacher, and then following a reading teacher. I began to wonder what we should learn from this story. what we can draw principles that can affect how we act and think? in conversation with several students in second grade, although I am about the role of insurgents who bring about social change. This progressed until I had the "Big Idea", which is social change. But I did not have the time reference. Various reference materials and historical events have led me to identify social change as in 1955 - 1965. Granted, October Sky was not written in this period, but it is based on true events that occurred during that time, focusing on the launch of Russian satellite, Sputnik, 4 listopada 1957th I came up with a multifaceted integrated plan that completely changed what I thought about the book and how it can be used to teach the truth and help define who we are from the truth. my perspective has gone from a single, specific resource for a global vision of what could be elected, learn and achieve.

Then I realized many different types of genre available for study, which included radio broadcasts, speeches, articles, period novels, sports, newspapers, magazines, books, history, social history, personal accounts, and rock and roll music. to students each, individually, in dyads, small groups or whole class? I understood that various activities will occur in different settings and different groups. After that I felt that students can represent their knowledge. This led me to realize that there are so many ways to demonstrate learning and meaning. By this time, I lost my focus on the novel by October Sky and is completely refocused on providing an individual choice. visual image of this new perspective and orientation of the individual, look at the graphics in addition to the end of this report.

This transformation of how learning takes a lot of philosophy we have studied. John Dewey said he was in his time an incredible buffet and choice of subjects. He saw learning as the classroom is not bound. He sees learning as an adventure, the discovery of such an interesting and revealing, and student and teacher learning is a wonderful learning just because -.. and the Enlightenment brought an educated mind Dewey's optimism was reflected in his recognition of who and what the human spirit that fell into insignificance, as shown in Hard Times by Charles Dickens.

The different philosophies of learning can be characterized that recognize or not recognize the role of students in making meaning. Essentialism ignores the individual in favor of organizing the world and accumulating body of knowledge in accordance with a separate and discrete disciplines. focus has become the target content. Perennialism wanted to stimulate the intellectual and spiritual development, but the case remained in the center, but the child and his / her interaction with the content. My approach to social change is not allowed to lock-stepped, sequenced instruction, contrary to most past and present models of effective educational classes.

Postmodernism rejects the possibility of making students' experience of meaning by linking classroom knowledge, and thus realizing that they have found or achieved some kind of truth. It did not emphasize the role of learning as a factor in taking on certain social and moral responsibility in society. Classroom knowledge is represented current opinion, but not necessarily true. This body of information in the classroom is to deconstruct anything that is not entirely explicit.

Constructivism comes much closer to my model, encouraging the students choice. Constructivism condemned in advance to digest course materials, and stressed the need for readers to interact with the text to discover and uncover information that will enhance and distinguish the identity of students. the student becomes an equal partner with the text in the making of meaning.

Today, the emphasis on multi-cultural education. This can happen when teachers are apologetic about the impact and role of white-European-Caucasians in building our country, its freedoms and ideals. There should be a synthesis of principles that identify the individual and the individual as a Community Builder. While many of these communities are ethnically diverse, individual, family and cultural needs and expressions are more alike than different. These similarities should be highlighted, not the fact that the diversity of human experiences are different because they occur in different races and ethnicities.

I think that Ivan Illich (Deschooling Company) may be encouraged by the amount of home schooling that takes place. I think he can be encouraged by the questions and challenges of new graduates in education were posing for their school administrator. I believe universal design of learning has the potential to integrate and build community among heterogeneous and diverse group of students if the teacher can get the spirit and vision of UDL, which recognizes students' choices. I do not believe that the majority of current teachers have a psychological inclination nor the skills and strategies to implement different learning. Most lack the influence to help them change the focus and attention to the knowledge of the whole education of an individual who deserves the truth and obedience to the truth.

I believe that there is a gravitational force that brings obedient observer of truth in contact with more truth and knowledge that sustains the power within us. I believe it is my duty to provide a space that encourages students to look back in time to a place where experience is born means that the expected area to be recognized and integrated obedient knower of truth. Compassion and love are attributes that keep us focused on "who" and to coincide with the "what", which supports the development and realization of who we all.

IV Descending identity .

This situation occurred in the reading and study skills (RSS) class at BSU. There are three main participants in this story, a student who I will call Jane, teachers supervizor.semestar has progressed through the fourth week. One of the requirements was a class for each student for the purchase of 100 index cards and start collecting unfamiliar vocabulary from their content classes, which could include the RSS class.

the first 25 cards are to be viewed by the teacher. After looking at Jane card, the teacher noticed the word "mathematics, history and language." He asked the student about the words and basically challenge the fact that the vocabulary words. teacher is teaching non-native English speakers abroad in the last ten years, a study of vocabulary is an important and integral part of the curriculum. teacher was somewhat puzzled as to why and how native speakers would choose such words when the non-native speakers would know that such words are not unfamiliar vocabulary words Her feelings are hurt;. felt uncomfortable and decided not to return to class.

After a period of three weeks, and not attended by a large and small group classes during this time, Jane confided in a large group of teachers what had happened and how he felt. Large group instructor, who was also a supervisor, and then the teacher talked at great length on this subject. teacher said he would tell students and attempt to renew the teacher-pupil relationship.

teacher is a thirty minute meeting with Jane and apologized and expressed his sincere and deep regret for what he did. He also explained how such things happen (and happened to him) and they are rarely intentional, but that experience is just as painful and uncomfortable.

As a result of this conversation, the student returned to class, completed assignments and passed the class. In this case, respect, relationship and closer, more beneficial relationship is restored between the teacher and his student, Jane.

At the end of the semester, the supervisor re-examined with the teacher situation with Jane at great length. He was drawn to it indicative of a teacher and could lack sensitivity and the relationship will continue in his duties. supervisor is not interested in how the problem was resolved and resolved or ask for more information about why the problem occurred in the first place. the teacher has accepted a negative assessment polite and sincere and believed that it was the end of the incident. But it was not. incident is the second expressed a higher authority to show that if, as the supervisor feels, then perhaps the teacher should be retained in his current position for the next semester.

the teacher began to think about the situation, assessment and implications of how it is characterized. The teacher knew that this characterization is correct, but why did it happen? What caused the difference of opinion between Jane and her teacher over what form the vocabulary words?

teacher learned a lot about their identity from Parker Palmer and Wendell Berry. He learned the principles that allowed him to look for explanations and interpretations of different events with Jane. He found some of them.

First, a vocabulary assignment by the supervisor, not the teacher. Secondly, the question of what form the vocabulary words is discussed and agreed between the supervisor and teacher. Third, students had no direction or guidelines that have resulted in May closer match between the intent and allocation of student interpretation and expression of the task. the absence of these conditions, misunderstandings and inconsistencies task, interpretation of student, teacher expectations, and supervisor assessments resulted.

teacher, because of the belief in and understanding of their identity and the role of obedience to the truth, he was able to understand and interpret events more honestly and clearly than previously done. He benefited from the comments of supervisors, but he felt the consequences of missing a fuller understanding. This same insight that has helped him to clarify the situation also helped him fix Jane feelings and encourage her to successfully complete class.
