Reflection: Why is the school context important? How would this influence
your task as a teacher?
The School context, surrounding milieu, made up of economic, cultural,
political and historical factors, community and organisational issues,
people’s theories and world views, as well as space, time and resources
available in the classroom, is very important to us, as teachers. It will
influence the approach to and interpretation of the curriculum. It is
therefore inevitable that curriculum development is a never ending process
of reflection and change. A positive school context will thus assist in
contributing to a positive learning and teaching experience in the classroom
and at the school.
The teacher is ultimately dependant on the school. The resources offered
and the support of the community are very important support structures for
teachers. These influence the quality of teaching, the ease of teaching, the
care of the students etc.
