it’s about asking the right questions

 

Dennis van Oeveren  is Lecturer and a Master Learning and Innovation at  Landstede Group  in the Netherlands. He is teaching at the VET (Vocational Education and Training).

His approach is to challenges students to be the best they can be, to be themselves, to have respect for others, to think about their social import and take responsibility for themselves and others.

He is helping  students to discover and develop their talents. Personal development and learning - educational theory and didactics - are inextricably linked. Selection processes are a leitmotiv throughout the entire educational programme. Counselling is an integral and continuous part of this.

He is  constantly examine the processes and the concepts to make sure they are what is best for the students we teach and is always learning, reading, listening. Creative in his thinking and approach. Change up a lesson to make it more engaging or increase student motivation. Adopt a more unconventional approach to handling challenging students so as to develop a stronger rapport.

Close the gap between the traditional images of teachers so he can determine what is best for each student to best apply these new changes. Exploring topics with other educators, sharing what they know with others, it’s not about having all the answers; it’s about asking the right questions.

He  want to make a difference. He belief’s that being an educator is a great way to make his mark in the world and he don’t take it for granted and look for opportunities by his actions and not just with words.  But he is also care enough to make tough decisions even when it’s not popular and accepted.
