In this write-up, I will seek to explain the ways in which I could establish ground rules with learners, which strengthens behaviour and respect for others. In doing this, I will be explaining what ground rules are and why they are necessary. How best they can be established and also ensure that students take ownership of rules by putting responsibility on them. Ground rules can be defined as terms which govern the working relationship between the school/teacher and its learners. According to Jo Budden “good classroom management depends a lot on how you establish ground rules at the beginning of the course”.
Learning Theories and Effective Curriculum Design Arlinda Hairston Walden University Pam Fitzgerald Designing Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment EDUC -6640 March 3, 2012 paper ID: 233289042 author: Hairston, Arlinda 40% Similarity score Learning Theories and Effective Curriculum Design Teaching 21st century learners requires the use of multiple methods to meet learning goals and differentiation of instruction for varied learning styles. According to (Marzano, 2010) teachers are responsible for utilizing several learning theories to keep students engaged and motivated (Marazona, 2010). Teachers integrate their knowledge of how students develop and learn and recognize that learning is not” one dimensional” (NBPTS, Para 4, p.2). Formulating a and implementing a theory of learning will help teachers capitalize on student’s strengths and experiences as well as using their own experience in the classroom to focus on ways to build on student’s academic abilities. Teachers need direction in order to meet academic proficiencies and to keep student’s interest (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010).
One of the key responsibilities I feel for a teacher is to provide information, wisdom. In order to share their knowledge and understanding of a subject or topic a teacher needs to have a deep understanding of the topic that they are teaching. However alongside this a teacher should not claim to know it all, and be willing to learn from their students. ‘Knowledge may be seen as a level of awareness, consciousness or familiarity gained by experience, learning or thinking.’ (Jarvis 1987). It is important that the teacher appreciate any input from their students, whether the answer is correct or not.
UNIT 012 Principles of assessment in lifelong learning Main methods of assessments in life long learning are: academic (knowledge) and vocational (performance). Dependent on the subject, the assessment method may need to be adapted, using and adapting both these type assessments will ensure that the students acquire optimum achievement during my lesson. To decide which of these is most appropriate, the assessment cycle will be used: • Initial assessment - used to identify if my students already know something about the subject to be assessed and the needs of my students (for example more support). • Assessment planning - used to plan the suitable types and method of assessment following relevant organisational guidelines. • Assessment activity - to determine this, the method could be assessorled like completing questioning or student-led like gathering evidence of competence.
Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center. Only Word documents can be submitted to Turnitin. This assignment uses a grading rubric. Instructors will be using the rubric to grade the assignment; therefore, students should review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the assignment criteria and expectations for successful completion of the assignment.

According to Morrish (Charles, 2011) giving students a choice in how to behave fails because “if they don’t mind the consequences, they choose to behave discourteously and irresponsible.” (p. 84) Morrish defines discipline in this way, “Discipline is about developing and creating appropriate behaviors, not just managing the ones which are already there,” (2001 p. 10). Real Discipline three phases; (1) train students for compliance (2) directly teach students how to behave in a classroom and practice the skills needed for success, and (3) manage student choice, but only after they have demonstrated mastery of the required responsibilities in a classroom. This program is more rigid and controlling of students, but it appears easy to implement and certainly the effects can be easily measured. The teacher must directly teach students how they are to behave in a classroom setting and then practice it with them until mastery is achieved. There really is no punishment in this system,
How can parents reclaim their position as part of the school community? Group 2: Lack of competence on the part of a teacher has a negative impact on the way learners view their teacher and also often results in discipline problems among learners. Suggest ways in which a teacher can be regarded as a quality and effective teacher providing examples in your argument. Group 3: Teaching also goes hand-in- hand with the manner in which you conduct yourself as a teacher because you have to develop a certain atmosphere and quality when standing in front of your learners in a classroom. Discuss a situation/s in which you experienced your own school teacher displaying qualities of an effective teacher.
Sherri Millikan August 25, 2011 EDU 215 Education Foundations and Framework Instructor Donna Graham My Personal Educational Philosophy Every educator should consider the values and principles when it comes to ones personal philosophy. The educator personal philosophy should reflect the overall development of the students along with the educator theories and philosophies. Guiding the students towards a successful life has become a crucial element. Teaching instruction and adaptation of the school curriculum has determined several educational philosophies such as progressivism, behaviorism, idealism, perennialism, experimentalism, realism, essentialism, and existentialism. An educator who caters to the students through
While this statements sound so simplistic, it’s really being lost in the world of teaching. While trying to keep up with testing standards and needs of students, we as teachers must make sure that we are not creating ignorant thinkers. As teachers we must accept that we don’t have all the answers and that just like students, we are constantly learning. When Dr. Wayson was speaking, I couldn’t
The assessment should be both formal and informal. For informal, the teacher may use observations for questions and students notes, and formal will be for the use of tests and essays. The teacher can track the student’s problem area and can adapt the lessons and help the student. All assessments need to be prepared to actively engage student’s in the lessons. When assessing an ELL students’ performance, there must be group work that will be close to the real world like problem solving and personal communication.
