Teachers finding motivations for why to take students to cultural events
Logic behind ideas:
Teacher needs to motivate and justify cultural events facing:
- Sceptical students
- Parents who doesn’t see the value of culture in schools and want their kids to have good grades and focus on science
- Other teachers that need to adjust their schedule in order for the event to take place
- To him/herself: how does the teacher value short-term goals of exams etc. VERSUS long-term goals of creating future citizens and what role does the teacher see in culture for this? (Do cultural activities improve school performance and grades/ is it valuable for the creation of the future citizen)
In order to justify why the teacher should take the students to a cultural events he/she needs to:
- Create trust between him/herself and students and parents
- Be well informed about the content and quality of activities
- Be confident with him/her own ability to organize an activity
- Feel confident that the students will enjoy the activity (especially for those who have no previous experience of such activities!)
