HelloI am

Mostafa Elbestawy

Science TeacherHead of Technology for Science

Department

I used to be an athlete

beside being a Teacher

I believe that before

working smart I do have to

work hardConsequently, I am doing my duties with

Innovation

Classroom EnvironmentI endeavor to establish and sustain a

level of student rapport and classroom environment that

promotes collaborating, multicultural understanding, mutual respect and respect for individual differences

Curricular and instructional planning skills

My main concern is to empower students' skills through designing lessons that include

measurable objectives, active learning strategies, student centered activities,

attention grabbers, real life science and assessment plans.

All of these reflect cross-cultural and individual understanding and provide equal

access to the curriculum

e.g. I am usingOne Note

to:• Organize my course

content

• Create & deliver interactive lessons

• Track students’ progress and provide feedback

Diverse and Appropriate teachingI care about conducting several teaching

strategies and different level activities that are appropriate for students with diverse

needs, interests and learning styles

Motivation and InvolvementTo sustain student interest I

care about varying the activities that revel students skills and

promote thinking, imagination and experience exchange

e.g. I am usingOffice Mix

to:• Flip my classroom

• Design lessons with ongoing assessment

• Implement active learning strategies like Jigsaw and many more

Cognitive outcomes of Teaching International baccalaureate mission is focusing on life skills and my job is to provide optimal

settings that increase the ability of students to differentiate, evaluate, communicate and

collaborate to reach sound conclusions with considering and respecting others perspectives

and valuesAffective outcomes of Teaching

Conducting activities like field and virtual trips, culture exchange Skype calls and debates help

in promoting students' self-confidence and awareness and important for raising good

citizens

e.g. I am accessingMicrosoft Educator

Community for:• Virtual field trips for an

adventure inside the classroom

• Experience exchange with students around the world

• Skype lessons with experts

Student diagnosis, achievement and evaluation

Assessing students' prior knowledge is an important point to begin any lesson, I can

then set appropriate instructional objectives and evaluate all students'

needs and achievements.

Assessment of my students must include a variety of methods and styles in order to measure their range of capabilities. A mix of formal and informal assessments

should yield accurate results

Being a teacher who believes that each student has the right to

learn for life

I do have to promote students’ 21st Century skills

and I am doing that through

implementing

The Seven C’s of Effective Teaching

The Seven C’s of Effective TeachingCaring about students nurturing productive relationships

Captivating students (making learning interesting and relevant)Conferring (eliciting students’ feedback and respecting their ideas)

Consolidating (connecting and integrating ideas to support learning)

From an enthusiastic and energetic science teacher

I look forward to bringing this devotion for teaching with using

21st century skills, everyday science and students’ inspiration

to your great School
