I am Ruben and my surname is Mpofu. I am from Pretoria. I chose to be a teacher because as it is known that teaching is the mother of all careers I want to take part in building children into discovering their purpose and abilities . As a foundation phase teacher my aim is to lay foundation of the children's journey in schooling and to instill good behavior and develop growing minds and promote skills that they will need which will determine which careers they will take in future. I want to be at the beginning of the initiative of creating responsible citizens and well performing learners.
I want to be a role model,change lives and educate and pass on knowledge to generations to come.
My perception changed because i realised how essential it is to master and make sure you keep the most important aspects in place whenever you plan a lesson as a foundation phase teacher. It also changed because aspects i developed about lesson planning especially focusing in art intergration and music.
The value of utilising art intergration is significant it assists children to develop skills and to learn to work together. It makes learning experience quite interesting and fun for foundation phase learners.in my opinion art intergration is good for teaching and learning in foundation phase.
The most important aspects are learning experience ,learning preference and levels of ability and interest as well as outcomes
