Not only does it break through the adolescent barriers and builds a cooperative group, it helps their learning process tremendously. What was interesting about Goodwille’s book was she offered teachers a variety of ideas and strategies for dealing with group attitudes and individual needs. Also, she
I am responsible for helping the lead tutors to ensure that lessons are run smoothly from leading review lessons to assisting students personally when they are in doubt. I enjoy tutoring because I am able to share my knowledge and passion for the subjects with the students. Moreover, I have the opportunity to learn from the students, especially discovering newer and easier ways to help them understand and apply their knowledge in real life situations. At school, I am a part of the “Mentoring Younger Girls Programme” whereby I mentor a student. My role is to assist her with any problems that she may face, both academically and socially.
I myself think that it helps for students’ motivation and confidence. The question is what kind of praising we should use. Should we emphases on their intelligence or the efforts they put in work? Believe it or not, this can affect their performance in school. I really like the idea of the author that there are two kinds of mind-set: fixed mind-set and growth mind-set.
The teacher provided physical and mental safety from insult and diminishment. Mike Rose emphasized that a good environment actually would help students do better, “And there was safety to take risks, to push beyond what you can comfortably do at the present, ‘coaxing out thinking along,’ as one of Steve Gilbert’s student put it, bringing out our best interpretive abilities” (46). These democratic classrooms also showed the amazing respect of people toward another, especially toward students of different ethnicities. They respected each other’s background, their languages, and history. They helped one another study and made them feel comfortable.
Discussing cases in small group settings can be a huge benefit in that each person would bring varying perspectives, critiques and solutions to the table, increasing the knowledge of each teacher more than if they were to just complete individually. Once critiques are made upon a case and other people offer suggestions and opinions teachers will be much more capable and confident to reflect and critique their own classroom teaching. Teaching cases are for the greater good of all teachers; they need not be put down, but instead used for the edification of other teachers where they can bounce ideas off each other for greater understanding on how to deal with certain situations. Discussing cases will test the beliefs of everyone involved, broadening the minds of teachers and evaluating each perspective. Each person must be able to effectively communicate their views and reasons why they have certain beliefs.
Using the Characteristics of Successful Leaders list I can see how I have used a lot of these skills such as; supporting the development and participation of others, celebrating the achievements of others, respecting colleagues for their knowledge and welcoming constructive criticism, when working alongside staff to aid them to deliver the anger management programme within their own schools. What impact has my work on this activity had on my workplace? Children and young people ❖ Feedback from the group was positive. One child stated that, “Making better choices has made my life
Nowadays, many people on the world learn at least one foreign language because they want to improve themselves. The problem is how to learn a foreign language effectively. I think the best way to learn a foreign language is combination of the two ways: going to class and learning by yourself. When you study the foreign language in class, you have some benefits. You will receive the good materials that provide by school.
It encourages children to learn at their own level that they feel comfortable and confident with, therefore enhancing the opportunity for developing many social and intellectual skills. Skinner Skinners theories are used widely in practices as we praise children for positive behavior or for performing an action correctly, Skinners theory on negative behavior was putting a child on timeout. 1.2 Explain the potential impact on service provision of different theories and approaches I feel that we use a bit of all these theories and approaches in our setting. The children use their own choice and freedom to develop their own play. As each child starts in our setting, their parents fill in a portfolio, which helps our staff learn their likes and dislikes and their favorite toy, song and story.
Let us now evaluate these four salient beliefs in detail. A teacher who is enthused and comprehend the subject or discipline he or she teaches will gain admiration and respect from their students. Additionally knowledge will be disseminated more easily, since student will be more open and ready to learn. The student will learn because they will be at ease and more comfortable since such teacher will be more prepared and will be more confident in passing on the desired material, value or objectives he or she want to be learnt. A teacher who love the profession and is not only seeking personnel gain or their salary will overcome the many hurdles that are in the
to wear a “mask” while he performs just enough to somewhat please the instructor. This proverbial mask is shed when the learner is authentically interested in something. Further, they state that many still believe that children are highly motivated by rewards. Prosser and Allen theorize that rewards “may serve somewhat when the task itself does not appeal and the mask is on. When the task itself appeals, medals are only artificial and superficial devices or worse, for the mask is off!” Prosser and Allen further state that this dual personality will persist as long as we continue to distinctualize between the artificial learning environment of the typical classroom and the natural processes of learning.
