As a teacher, one of the main roles is to motivate your learners to develop their ability and aspiration to learn. Some may read about delivering training and facilitating learning , but in reality a teacher does much more than that. A teaching role is not just about teaching your subject or preparing learners for assessment. The focus of a teaching role relates very much to inspiring learners to change and develop their personal, social and professional skills to the best of their ability. In this respect, the ultimate aim is to enable learners to understand how to take responsibility for their own development.
Knowing others strengths in an online learning environment helps me understand how they think. When I receive feedback from others I will understand their method of thinking. Their experience helps me to think differently for myself. CONCULSION Remember, these resources can only be successful if practiced. These tools have helped me in my educational journey as of yet.
Customized Learning Theory: Differentiated Instruction and Inclusion in the Classrooms Katie Wood Liberty University “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtains guidance,” (Proverbs 1:5, ESV). This is a powerful statement from God’s Word that should guide the role teachers play in their classrooms. “Good teachers know their subject matter and have mastered pedagogical skills,” (Slavin, 2009, p 24). Teachers who are willing to base their lessons off of research, in order to learn, will understand what it truly means to guide their students in the right direction. However, teachers cannot guide if they do not understand their students and how the students interpret learning in the classroom.
Agreeing individual learning plans (ILPs) and/or action plans can help formalise this. During sessions, I try to include my learners by asking individual questions, taking time to give help and support, using eye contact, using names and encouraging paired and group activities etc. Inclusion involves ensuring that all support systems in the organisation are available to those learners who need it. Ways to promote inclusion include: • ascertaining individual needs, learning preferences and goals • being approachable and accessible, enabling learners to feel comfortable to disclose concerns • challenging stereotyping, discrimination and prejudice as it happens • differentiating activities to address individual differences; for example, different abilities and levels • using resources and materials which positively promote all aspects of community and society, equality and diversity. Carrying out an icebreaker and agreeing ground rules can help the session flow smoothly.
Although the theories of Piaget, Vygotsky, Erikson, and Kohlberg are relatively abstract, we had to find ways to put them into practice in our teaching. I believe this unit also addressed the same TPEs as the second part of Unit one, going from theory to practice and synthesizing our knowledge about students in general to guide our specific teaching practices. The second part of this unit involved learning how socially developed ways of thinking about race can inform teaching. This learning was specifically related to TPE 11, “Social Environment,” in which teacher candidates must create a positive learning environment including fairness, respect, and caring. During Unit 3, the class explored students with exceptional needs, such as students with learning disabilities who have an IEP.
Graff argues that intellectualism is good, and that schools ought to encourage learners to read, think critically and write about their fields of personal interests like fashion, music or cars. I however hold the view that what is good for some individuals may have a negative impact on others. Moreover, asking students to merely write about their interests may not necessarily help them to acquire intellectual skills. I believe that intellectualism is partly an inborn trait, which Graff has. Due to this fact, non-intellectual activities such as debates and sports helped Graff to develop his intellectual potentiality.
Student often work at stations and learn through team building and planned movement. In order to facilitate student learning; I often use a pedagogy of strategies which helps student learners meet academic goals. In developing lessons, I support the findings by Bruner that emphasizes the
The principles of neobehaviorism are learning by observing, and that learning may occur through observation alone without a change in behavior (Lieberman, 2012). Neobehaviorism was developed from the works of Edward C. Tolman and Clark Hull amendment of the S-R theory (Lieberman, 2012). Their views was that behavior cannot be explained only in the terms of observable stimulus and reactions. Due to the disagreement by behaviorists not being able to agree on which theory was correct the learning system developed two systems that are still in use today, associative and cognitive (Lieberman, 2012). People learn through pursuing signs to a certain goal, and learning is acquired by meaningful behavior.

It should be a source and not a main way of living. It should be there to improve your learning, not take over it. Technology is a fast growing trend but it has not taken over all aspects of life. If individuals decide to resort solely on technology to perform task, its on them because while using technology, your other skills slowly diminish. Your penmanship, your speaking, and your "outside of the box" thinking.
