How do I contribute to the education of myself and others through ...

Introductionable to account for my learning over this time. I want to be able to come to someunderstanding of the role of what it means to be an Assistant Headteacher. I alsowant to be able to reflect on my own growing sense of educative practice incomparison to my understanding from sequence 1 and sequence 2 of this study. Thissection aims to reflect the difficulties associated with managing transition betweenroles and schools and account for how I tried to do this myself.Within this section I want to argue that holding onto my own sense of values andbeliefs is what helped me to deal with this transition. I argue that keeping in touchwith significant others is crucial in order to support transition. I also want to argue thatdealing with the sense of change is vastly under-valued and that there needs to be aheightened awareness of the impact of change on individuals.Sequence 4 The FutureThroughout this section I want to look at the further implications of this thesis andargue that those who engage with the text can gain from it. I explore how my journeyhas identified some key issues which I believe need to be embraced througheducation. I return to the original contributions that I make to knowledge through thisthesis and further clarify them. I explore the nature of teacher-research and supportmy claims through reference to teacher-researchers. I argue that practitioneraccounts need to be valued and circumstances need to be established to support thework of teacher-researchers in order to improve the quality of educational researchthat is emerging.You will now move into Sequence 1 where I will initially reflect on my own values thatI hold as an educator and explain the key original contributions to knowledge that Ioffer through this thesis.20
