That is when I realized that he wasn’t necessarily a “bad” student he was just a young child who needed motivation and someone who would just care. That is the meaning that I found within Dr. Michaels statement. How does a classroom teacher garner respect? There are many methods that a teacher can use in order to gain their students respect. For example, the most effective method would be, to respect the students and their feelings before they can respect you.
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.
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.
Arts Teaching & Learning Network Faculty of Arts Brookfield's Four Lenses: Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher Is your teaching worthy? Stephen Brookfield suggests that the path to discovering the worth of your teaching is through a process of critical reflection. In fact, critically reflective teachers, for Brookfield, are excellent teachers who continually hone their personalised "authentic voice", a "pedagogic rectitude" that reveals the "value and dignity" of the teacher's work "because now we know what its worth" (46-7). Vigilant critical reflection delivers several boons: inspirational self-assuredness, the regular achievement of teaching goals, and motivated, critically reflective students. The goal of the critically reflective teacher, for Brookfield, is to garner an increased
Discuss a situation/s in which you experienced your own school teacher displaying qualities of an effective teacher. Group 4: If the principal of a school is ineffective in providing curriculum leadership and in instilling a culture of self-discipline among teachers and learners, there needs to be support in the form of social and professional services. Provide examples of ways in which the community can also play a role in transforming the school into one displaying an appropriate culture of teaching and learning and
Generally, safety and respect created a healthy environment for students to study. Second, authority was distributed in democratic classrooms from expectation and responsibility. Teachers took students seriously to help them reach their limits. And students learned and worked hard under
They were: caretaker, facilitator, observer, collaborator, teacher who sits back, assistor, co-participant, and measurer. These were the qualities that Maria Montessori believed to play an important role in a teacher-guide as part of the classroom and will be discussed as the main topic of this essay. Help plays an important role in teaching, however as a Montessori concept Maria believed that an adult or teacher-guide only stepped in and helped when needed, and if otherwise done would distract the childs’ concentration or the effort of the child doing their activity. However at the same time it was also belief that under love and care that the teacher would provide, the child would thrive and be successful in what they accomplished. “Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed”.
Building a bank of “what if” scenarios is a valuable tool in building a solid teaching philosophy. * Discussing teaching cases allows teachers to reflect and think critically about a certain problem without actually having to go through the experience. Helping teachers prepare for possible situations that may arise in the classroom, is a huge benefit to teachers. Knowing ahead of time how to respond to a certain situation helps build confidence and reduces anxiety in the decision making process. Part 2 The Case of Jesus Gonzalez a) Key Factors This case is about a first grade student named Jesus Gonzalez, his family, and teacher, Mrs. Kiffen.
(Erikson) Another, amazing theory that I can compare this classroom and teachers, their practice and professionalism, children are motivated to learn on what they are interested on, the teacher nurtures that ability so that the children grow and learn. I was in awe the genuine respect the children received by the teachers. They respected the child’s ideas and decisions. However, there were incidents that the teacher had to sit a child down to control behavior, the teacher called it “Time to take a break”. Reggie Emilia stated, “Children are not assumed to be empty vessels to be filled with instruction; they are seen as ready to learn when the right, best, or most appropriate opportunities are offered.” (Reggie
Wayson also spoke about teacher student relations and how to open your classroom for more effective learning. He talked about not embarrassing a student, but in turn seeking alternate ways of getting your message across. This is something that we have touched on throughout the course, but something I feel to be very important. I think its imperative that as teachers we think about what our actions have the power to do. At the elementary level, we are shaping how students feel about themselves which can affect them the rest of their lives.
