In our last lesson we discussed images and stereotypes about teenagers. Now is time to discuss some assumptions and generalisations that people usually make about us teachers.
As we all know, sometimes we could be labelled because of the type of job that we do.
I would like you to think about the following questions:
- Can you think of some adjectives or phrases that are commonly used to stereotype teachers?
- Which label do you think applies to you as an individual?
- Which one describes you best?
- Do you think teachers have a positive or negative reputation in our society today? Why do you think that is?
- Are you judged or expected to behave in a certain way because of how you look, your age, your profession or your genre?
How do you fit the stereotype?
How you don´t fit the stereotype?
But most importantly:
