Introduction to Archetypes of Teaching One day while observing a teacher I had a realization. If what Carl Jung, the psychiatrist, said is true, that archetypes are seen everywhere, in every country, and throughout history, then I will see them right here in this teacher that I am observing. Sure enough I began naming archetypes that I was seeing and used them as a framework to give the teacher feedback in our conference. What is seen in the next slides are four major descriptions and the twelve described in the next slides fall under each of those four categories. Research I have done over the years on effective teaching continue to correlate with the archetypal model described here. I now use it as a self- reflection tool so that teachers can look at their teaching in a safe environment. TASK: List each of these in the order of what you value most in your students. These archetypes are probably the ones that you focus on the most in your own classroom. What archetypes do you need to develop more in yourself in the classroom? What archetypes are being lived out by the teacher you are observing?
