Question 2 - CSTE - useful or not?

Question: Is it possible and practical to create a graphical representation of the various roles of assets of education to encompass individual learning plans, lesson plans and educational progression?

The advantages of representations of complex situations by graphical means often outweigh the loss of the subtle nuances. A broad brush approach to the roles of teachers can split them into four areas:
1, caring and control;
2, skills, schooling and discipline;
3, teaching and training;
4, educating and inspiring.

Individual pupils have different needs of these roles, which change as they progress through their school career. Individual lessons and schemes of work provide for these roles in differing amounts. These theoretical graphs provide pictures of what may be happening. By using the same simplified approach on these different aspects of schooling it is hoped easy comparisons of how well matched they are, could be made.



Is this approach workable, helpful or useful?
