Teachers need direction in order to meet academic proficiencies and to keep student’s interest (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010). After exploring several learning theories and strategies, my own teaching practices are most often modeled by several strategies and learning theories. The Constructivism Theory resonates in some of the techniques I am using in the classroom. Reflecting on student activities and the design my lessons ; I find students are most often engaged in learning activities that are student driven and lead to students constructing their own conclusions. Student often work at stations and learn through team building and planned movement.
SPE 226 Educating the Exceptional Learner Benchmark Assessment Targeted Essential Learning Effective teachers implement lesson plans that utilize diversified strategies to meet the learning needs of students with varying degrees of cognitive abilities. Effective teachers are able to adapt instruction based on learner needs. (APTS 3, 9; INTASC 2; CEC 4, 7) Assessment Tool Selected Project a) Accommodations and Modification of Lesson Plan b) Report - Reflective Analysis Specific Performance/Task(s) • Implement lesson plans. (APTS 3.1) • Select and utilize best practice implementation strategies appropriate to different developmental levels. (APTS 3.7) • Implement differentiated strategies that address diverse learners.
When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format. There are several scientific practices that need to be observed when working in a laboratory setting. First a student must be able to construct explanations, and secondly they must be able to utilize critical thinking skills through the use of mathematics, information and computer technology and computational thinking. As an effective teacher one must be able to communicate the value of these skills to their students and show the value of being thorough with both of these steps. When teaching a student about constructing explanations it is important to understand what the purpose of the explanation is trying to say; being thorough is going to be the best option as the more details that are available the more likely the person reviewing the experiment will understand what was trying to be done.
Clem, Mrs. Dixon, Mrs. Jackson (inclusive classroom), Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Graham and Mr. Stephen (self-contained classroom) techniques and viewpoints refers to ones beliefs and systematic instruction given to a pupil and how to develop an organized plan and administer information or strategy when confronted with dilemma, if that dilemma is social, academic, or profession related (Miller, 2009). In this discussion the pre-service educator will touch on some of the veteran teacher’s question about their personal philosophy. The theories of the different schools of philosophy are the foundation of selecting a personal philosophy and this paraprofessional recognizes and accepts as true theories and philosophies which related to this paraprofessional principle for a perfect approach to teaching are existentialism, behaviorism, and progressivism. In addition, the pre-service educator believes when the branches of philosophy overlap this different approach will be something that no school of idea have accomplish. By the unchanged nature of its scheme logic, ethics, and metaphysics will be included and supporting the Existentialism philosophy.
UNIT 2 - Support learning activities 1.1 Describe how a learning support practitioner may contribute to the planning, delivery and review of learning activities. As a teaching assistant you will contribute with the teachers to planning, delivery and review of learning activities. As a teaching assistant time should be made to discuss and review pupils’ work with teachers, this can be formal or informal. Planning, teaching and evaluation follow a cycle which gives structure to the learning process. EVALUATING TEACHING - Supporting the teacher in delivering the plan with a child or group of children.
During Unit 3, the class explored students with exceptional needs, such as students with learning disabilities who have an IEP. One of the most important parts of this unit was the field report, in which we had to describe and analyze teaching practices for students with an IEP. By having us adapt a content standard for the student we observed, we were able to address TPE 9, “Instructional Planning.” TPE 9 in particular deals with differentiated instruction, which is what we specifically observed and wrote
In this respect, the ultimate aim is to enable learners to understand how to take responsibility for their own development. Teachers can do this by planning and preparing teaching and learning activities that take account of the needs and well-being of individual learners as well as groups of learners. Some key aspects of a role as a teacher may be: carrying out initial and/or diagnostic assessments; clear communication with your learners, other professionals and stakeholders; promoting appropriate behaviour and respect for others; identifying and meeting individual learners’ needs; being aware of the support mechanisms available; being organised; being reflective, which means learning from successes as well as mistakes. What are my responsibilities as a teacher? As a teacher, my primary responsibility is to ensure that learners are enrolled onto the correct course, in terms of meeting their needs, abilities and aspirations.
Teachers can analyse performance using tests or questioning the pupils after completing an activity. Plans could include differentiated classroom groups, built in review time. Plan to give pupils examples of a variety of skills, attitudes, standards and qualities to aim for. (b) the learners Peer and self assessment are activities that actively engage pupils with their level of understanding and the quality of their work and help them to reflect on how to improve. Pupils must be familiar with learning objectives, outcomes and success criteria and feel confident in how to interpret them.
City and Guilds 6502 Level 3 Award in Education and Training – AET Unit 301: Understanding roles, responsibilities and relationships in education and training Assessment Task A: Information Booklet You have been asked to produce a leaflet that mentors within your organisation can use when supporting new members of staff.

1. discuss the training requirements for Higher level Teaching Assistants (HLTAs) HLTAs are required to have training in the following areas: * HLTA Standards and qualifications * Numerical and literacy skills * Knowledge and skills in NVQ level 2 in English and Maths * Skills and training in learning strategies * Skills and training in curriculum development and delivery HLTA standard are set to give a HLTA an indication as to what is expected from them in attitudes and what commitments are required. These standards require HLTAs to have knowledge about the curriculum to enable to work with the teacher effectively. The HLTAs should know how to use their skills and experience to help students excel in their learning. HLTAs are required to know how to use information communication technology (ICT) to advance pupils learning and be able to use common tools for their and the pupils benefit. HLTAs should have achieved qualification in numeracy and literacy at level 2 or above of the national qualification framework.
