For example I find it essential to discuss the day’s lesson plan and targets with my class teacher. This gives me clear guidance and an objective when working with pupils, of what support I need to give in order to achieve the day’s targets. In the school environment, I am aware that I am acting as a role model to the children. How I communicate with colleagues, parents and pupils will reflect on how children will then communicate. It is important to adapt the way I communicate, because different audiences require different communication styles so that I can be understood easily.
The mentoring teacher searched for successful practices which could be developed in the new teacher’s teaching style such as tone, eye contact, body language or even learning activities which could create success in class.

I want to experiment with what builds a sense of community, support, care, and motivation in my classroom and I assume this will take place in many forms. Torey sought out and found ways to communicate and build relationships with her students, some of the time these ways were non-verbal and rather based on feeling; I hope to create the same sort of atmosphere in my classroom, to have those important one on one moments with my students. This passage in the book also reminded me of a recent conversation I had with my supervising teacher about the hiring process. She told me that some of the best teachers have the worst interviews, but when she’s looking for a potential teacher she relies mostly on intuition; if she believes an individual truly loves children, she is much more likely to hire them regardless of their interview. (Of course the individual would have to demonstrate some basic competencies) The passage also made me think of the beauty of the teaching profession and how it really is difficult to explain to a non-teacher; there are so many small and large events that happen on a daily basis in the academic world that creates a world of amazement and appreciation for the growing
She believes everyone probably needs a break in between classes because there is no time to regroup in between class. As a team, La Quandria says we have enjoyed class because our instructor has tried to make learning as fun as possible. Candice understood how to develop equations out of word problems.

The art of intervention is a term used to explain the ways in which a Montessori teacher can step into a childs’ environment and help if needed. The Montessori concept of intervention or “help” was to be observed and also controlled by the adult. Maria Montessori believed that the environment should be set for a child to be successful and thrive in. When Maria Montessori was quite successful with her teachings she came up with the 8 intertwined roles of the Montessori teacher-guide. They were: caretaker, facilitator, observer, collaborator, teacher who sits back, assistor, co-participant, and measurer.
Part 1 Rick Hebert Introduction to Teaching Cases * Teaching cases are real life examples of possible problems faced by teachers and school staffs. Written in narrative form, they are used to connect theory to practice. * Teaching cases enable teachers to virtually live a particular experience. They are then able to critically think about possible responses and actions. Building a bank of “what if” scenarios is a valuable tool in building a solid teaching philosophy.
Anne School. It allowed students to fix their educational gaps and it prevented them from falling back in their classes. It also instilled in the students a time management skill that would benefit them in the long run. Unfortunately, there are not many tutors and after school teachers to go around. Many students end up leaving without understanding their math homework or any type of homework.
Describe the roles, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher in the teaching/training cycle Role, responsibilities and boundaries are evolving qualities within the teacher which are assessed and reflected upon using the teaching/training cycle; a cycle of assessment, planning and review. The main role of the teacher is to facilitate communication in such way that all students are encouraged to enter into wider debate surrounding the topic they have chosen. To ensure sessions’ aims and objectives are meaningful and applicable to students, the teaching role incorporates ongoing administration and assessment. Assessing varying learning styles within group and considering learner’s motivations and previous experiences helps identify various teaching methods that could be useful throughout the program. Sessions incorporating visual, auditory and kinaesthetic learning styles ensure student’s have equal rights to learning and provide the opportunity to re-evaluate what is already known while exploring aims and objectives from a different perspective.
