The culturally responsive classroom “specifically acknowledges the presence of culturally diverse students and the need for these students to find connections among themselves and with the subject matter and the tasks the teacher asks them to perform” by using instructional strategies which, place students into “cooperative learning groups, [an environment wherein] culturally familiar speech and events [are discussed], [and] wait time for students from CLD backgrounds [is] adjusted to enhance classroom participation and development of critical thinking skills.” (Brown, p.60,
Before carrying out activities, you will need to have an awareness of the curriculum and stage at which pupils are at. As a member of support staff, as time goes on and the more experience gained, the more will be learnt about particular students and how they work best. It is ideal if support staff access school records about pupils learning to ensure they are up to date, familiar and prepared with supporting individual
Running head: MY PERSONAL CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT My Personal Classroom Management Grand Canyon University EDU430N: Classroom Management Professor Allison Atkins June 20, 2010 My Personal Classroom Management Plan In order to establish an optimal system of discipline, teachers need an encompassing viewpoint that includes the purpose of discipline as well as the elements that comprise discipline and how those elements work to improve behavior while still maintaining motivation and dignity (Charles, 2008). There are various approaches to discipline that are effective in the classroom. Almost any disciplinary approach can be organized to focus on helpfulness and positive relations with students (Charles, 2008). Therefore, when teachers
A critical evaluation of an aspect of the inclusive practices, evidenced in the case study (which will be provided), with specific reference to your own practice during school placement and your wider reading? Our understanding of diversity is broad – it encompasses gender, race, age, disability, cultural background and so much more. Inclusive practice is understood to be attitudes, approaches and strategies taken to ensure that students are not excluded or isolated from the learning environment because of any of these characteristics. As a teacher, my role is to ensure that all students feel welcome, accepted, safe, listened to, valued and feel confident that they can participate in all activities. Every child should be given every opportunity
Also submit a brief justification of the approaches you intend to use, in relation to the learning needs of your peer-group. This justification could refer back to work previously submitted for PTLLS Assignments 4,5 and 6. 7) Delivering your micro-teach PTLLS: Using inclusive learning and teaching approaches in lifelong learning 2.1 Demonstrate inclusive learning and teaching approaches to engage and motivate learners 2.2 Demonstrate the use of appropriate resources to support inclusive learning and teaching 2.3 Use assessment methods to support learning and teaching 2.4 Communicate with learners to meet their needs and aid their understanding 2.5 Provide constructive feedback to learners PTLLS: Understanding inclusive learning and teaching in lifelong learning 2.4 Review how to provide opportunities for learners to practice their literacy, language, numeracy and ICT skills With the exception of UILTLL 2.4, the above criteria all imply skills that you will need to demonstrate during your (brief) micro-teach. You will be required to reflect critically on (self-assess) your own performance using the Micro-teach Observation form in Annex A and your tutor/assessor will also use this same document for summative assessment and feedback. You will notice that this observation form is cross-referenced to the criteria listed above and

Reece and Walker (2003) describe five main schools of thought regarding learning, Behaviourism, Neo Behaviourism, Cognitive, Humanistic and Gestalt Theory. Behaviourism is based on the concept that we learn by receiving stimulus which instigates a response (Reece & Walker 2003). This is saw as providing positive feedback to Sidney for tasks performed thus increasing confidence and further progressing his journey of self actualisation according to Maslow (1962). Cognitive theory implies that learning is more individual, it is more than just learning a task, it is reflecting on its
Critically analyse how formative assessment may support pupils’ learning. Support analysis with observations and evidence from school experiences. Formative assessment is the process of continually assessing and evaluating a pupil’s progress and educational needs and direction. (Coffey). Assessment is not restricted to any one method but rather encompasses all activities partaken within school where information learned is used to enhance teaching and learning.
Personalized learning is successful in schools where student voice is engaged that’s means to involve pupils in the school community and in the process of teaching/ learning and the students are more motivated to learn and to see school as an institution more relevant to their lives. Individual student voices express points of view, opinions, ideas, suggestions, worries and concerns , some of which will relate directly to learning and to teaching including matters of learning curriculum content or learning style. A major role of schools is to enable pupils to achieve their full potential. One way of doing this is to help them become more effective learners and to carry this ability to learn into adult life. Is known that effective learning can only take place when people experience emotional wellbeing Another way of looking at the impact of
