 Ein Kollektiv von Lehrenden und Studierenden engagiert sich in einer immersiven, produktiven Praxis, um das Lehren und Lernen in der Hochschul- und Grundschulbildung an der Pädagogischen Hochschule und darüber hinaus neu zu denken.

Verwurzelt in Neugier, Fürsorge und Achtsamkeit gegenüber vielfältigen Geschichten und Stimmen, bietet das Kollektiv offene Impulse, die jeder anpassen, hinterfragen oder über eine wachsende Konstellation von Bildungszentren hinweg erweitern kann.

Assignment: Temporal Teacher Self-Dialogue


Overview:

This reflective exercise guides future educators through three stages of their teaching identity, childhood aspirations, early-career hopes, and seasoned expertise, by “interviewing” yourself across time.

  1. Phase 1 – Meet Your Inner Child (10 min):
    Imagine yourself at age 8, dreaming of becoming a teacher. Choose 5 prompts from Set 1 (below) that feel most resonant, and “ask” your child-self those questions in writing or sketching. Briefly note your imagined responses.

  2. Phase 2 – Early-Career Reflection (10 min):
    Now picture yourself at the start of your teaching journey. Select another 5 prompts from Set 1 and explore how your motivations, challenges, and values have evolved since childhood.

  3. Phase 3 – Expert Perspective (10 min):
    Envision your wise, future self at least 20 years into teaching. Again choose 5 prompts from Set 1 and record what your expert-self would advise your younger stages.

  4. Across-Time Insights (10 min):
    Finally, use Set 2 (questions A–E) to elicit cross-stage wisdom, e.g., “Which early-career fears did I outgrow?” or “What core teaching passion remains unchanged?” Pose 3 lettered prompts and jot the collective insights.

Set 1 (select any 5):
  • What first made you love learning?
  • How did you imagine your classroom as a child?
  • Which challenge at the start felt most daunting?
  • What early success gave you confidence?
  • Which student need did you yearn to meet?
  • How have your teaching values shifted over time?

Set 2 (choose any 3):
  • Which childhood hope still guides me? 
  • What blind spots did early-career me overlook? 
  • Which expert habit most strengthens student trust? 
  • Where should I focus more/less to honour diverse learners?
  • If I could whisper one teaching truth across time, what would it be?

Feel free to mix and match or add your own lettered prompts to tailor the exercise to your context.
