Teachers need direction in order to meet academic proficiencies and to keep student’s interest (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010). After exploring several learning theories and strategies, my own teaching practices are most often modeled by several strategies and learning theories. The Constructivism Theory resonates in some of the techniques I am using in the classroom. Reflecting on student activities and the design my lessons ; I find students are most often engaged in learning activities that are student driven and lead to students constructing their own conclusions. Student often work at stations and learn through team building and planned movement.

As a teaching assistant I have to ensure that the appropriate resources are available, also with working with SEN students as appropriate, I need to ensure that there is differential work available as all work set in lessons is usually to a generic standard. I would achieve this by prior discussion with the teacher that will be delivering the lesson. It is my job to know which students need supporting in different areas of the work, for example numeracy or literacy support. I can achieve this by using an in house computer system to research each individual student I would be working with. I would need to know if I will be working on a 1:1 basis or with a group so I can plan accordingly.
The use of journals assisted them tracking their thoughts which led to their behaviors in the classroom. The teachers realized pre and post thoughts were different. Cognitive coaching includes skills that are necessary for our future leaders. When teachers can learn from each other the impact on the student’s is priceless. The best way to learn is to teach.
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
Since, I have been thinking of different ways of creating environments, seeing children’s strengths, abilities, and communicating with families during this class, I am going to briefly discuss two things I plan to implant in my professional experience. First, I would have a discussion with my supervisor and staff to come together to help enforce more universal design learning our facility. UDL is As I read the statement in “Early Childhood Inclusion: A Summary”, I came up with the conclusion of what the creation of a sense of belonging and membership, positive relationships and reaching full potential means when working with all young children and families. First, I would make sure that my classroom environment accommodates all my students and the parents feel comfortable with their child in the environment also. Throughout my teaching career and working with all children and families I have discovered that the best
A TA provides help and support to both teachers and pupils, as well as supporting children in the classroom in a variety of different ways. Teachers should discuss with the TA, what activities will be taking place, in order for the TA not only to prepare and organise resources, but also to have a clear understanding of the LO for each class, and to know what they should be doing in order to help each child achieve this. TA’s responsibilities within the classroom also involve helping with teaching provisions, maintain records and liaise with parents. One of the main roles of a TA’s job is to relay, explain and support the children in how to do the work. Then
I chose to focus on the PK-2nd Grade guidelines developed by NETS for Students. It is important to keep in mind that the profile that is set up for PK-2nd grade is meant as a guide for teachers to use as “indicators of achievements at this certain primary stage (“ISTE/NETS,” 2007) and it is based on the assumption or idea that these children will have regular access to several different types of technological tools. There is a multitude of technology that is widely available for the K-12 classroom. Software as simple as Microsoft Powerpoint and as complex as Auto CAD is available for every type of classroom. Hardware such as scanners, digital cameras, and flash drives are also a tiny handful of hardware that is available.
Angela Jefferson AED/200 April 23, 2013 Professor Carrie Cook There are various cultural exchange and interconnectedness between many different societies around the world. When diversity and inclusion is included within a classroom, the teaching styles become very unique. When a teacher teaches students about the importance of inclusion while in a multicultural classroom, it can help the students to better understand stereotypes. Moreover, it can help the students learn about each other cultural background. As an aspiring teacher, it would be important to promote diversity in the classroom so that it can be a comfortable haven for the students to learn.
The observations were very enlightening and gave me a good perspective of the interaction between the students and the teachers and also helped me observe some teaching and learning skills as they are conducted in real classroom settings. Teachers use different practices to organize their classrooms, interact with students and present the information, and by observing those teachers, I have learned new ways to interact with students and explain the contents of the class. The observations have also affected the way I think about disabled students in terms of the accommodations they need. Although reading and learning about ways and skills to deal with students with special needs was very important, observing actual students with learning and physical disabilities helped me realize the difficulties these student face. I think this will help me in the future to better modify my lesson plans to accommodate all of my students.
