Welcome
Welcome to my ePortfolio! My name is Natasha Gibson and I graduated from of the Bachelor of Education program at Vancouver Island University in June, 2019. I am currently working as a Teacher Teaching on Call (TTOC) in School District 68. On this website you will find artifacts and evidence demonstrating my growth as a pre-service teacher and how I represent the eight BC Teacher Regulation Branch Standards. You will also be able to view the BCTF Code of Ethics, as well as my Frame of Reference, which will help further my growth as a future educator.
Educational Metaphor
Education is like nature; it is constantly changing and growing as time goes on. As students, we are continuously learning and expanding our knowledge, much like nature around us. As teachers, we are always fostering learning and shaping the lives of our students. The world is our classroom and we can gain knowledge from everything around us if we look hard enough. If we think about trees and how they grow, they take up water and nutrients from the earth and sunlight from the sky, they use resources from all around them to grow. Students can do the same with their learning; they can gather pieces of knowledge and wisdom from everyone and everything around them.
"Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on Earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education"
