Nestes anos de atividade profissional, desempenhei as minhas funções como docente do Ensino Básico 1º Ciclo em duas escolas: uma em Santo Tirso e outra em São Jorge na Região Autónoma da Madeira. As funções foram diversificadas, tanto no âmbito do Apoio Pedagógico, de Ensino Especial, como de atividades de complemento do currículo e de atividades curriculares. Trabalhar com alunos distintos, com as suas próprias capacidades e particularidades, tornou-se em desafios aliciantes e de responsabilidade. A organização do ambiente educativo foi pensada para potenciar a aprendizagem de todos, proporcionando a participação de cada um em variadas atividades e em projetos significativos, permitindo-lhes a construção de conhecimentos.
Na prática diária como docente, foi importante desenvolver nos alunos a capacidade de se automotivarem, dado a motivação produzir melhor aprendizagem e desempenho e mais confiança em si próprio. As escolas e seus professores proporcionam aos alunos condições para o desenvolvimento das suas capacidades e para a aquisição de competências de literacia, no sentido de uma formação ao longo da vida. No mundo de hoje, ler e escrever são a forma de responder a todos os desafios para os quais somos constantemente solicitados, daí a importância crescente da leitura na sociedade colocar às escolas novos e difíceis desafios, como incentivar e motivar, desde cedo, os seus alunos para a leitura.
Realço as dinâmicas de trabalho em equipa, entre todos os docentes, a tónica na cooperação, participação, no âmbito da construção de um projeto comum em prol da comunidade em geral. Reforço a constituição das escolas como locais de educação e de cultura, de valorização do seu ethos, tornando-se espaços singulares, únicos e próprios. Estas escolas trabalham no sentido de estabelecerem parcerias e dinamizarem projetos com a restante comunidade, alguns dos quais valorizam e promovem a leitura.
Ter a oportunidade de participar em ações e oficinas de formação sobre temáticas diversas, foi importante e enriquecedor, sendo fundamental para o meu desenvolvimento profissional. Acentuou-se a necessidade de aprendizagem ao longo da vida, no sentido de uma reflexão diária e partilha de ideias e experiências com outros profissionais na área.
During my professional career, I was an elementary school teacher at two different schools: one in Santo Tirso and another one in São Jorge at Madeira autonomous region. My roles were diverse and included activities in the scope of Pedagical Support, Special Needs Education, as well as Curricular and Extra-Curricular activities. Working with such a range of students with diverse abilities and characteristics, presented a set of challenges of an attractive and responsibility nature. The organization of the educational environment was designed to enhance every person’s learning. This allowed each one’s participation in varied activities and significant projects, leading to knowledge establishment. Given that motivation has been shown to produce enhanced learning, performance and self-confidance, it was important to develop, during my daily practice as a teacher, the skill of self motivation in students. Schools and their teachers provide the right tools for the development of student’s skills and gaining of literacy competency, aiming for lifelong education. In today’s world, reading and writing are the way to answer challenges we are constantly faced with. Therefore, the increasing importance of reading in general society presents schools with new and difficult challenges, such as how to incentivize and motivate their students for reading from an early stage. I highlight team work dynamics between all teachers, the emphasis on cooperation and participation in the scope of developing a common project for the general community. I emphasize the establishment of schools as places of education and culture, of ethos enhancing, transforming schools in distinctive and unique spaces. These schools operate with the aim of establishing partnerships and increase project dynamics with the rest of the community, including projects which valorize and promote reading. To have the opportunity of attending workshops and training sessions on diverse topics was important and enlightening, which was fundamental to my professional development. The need for lifelong learning, through daily reflection and sharing of ideas with other educational professionals has been highlighted.
