For individual learning styles to be met, within a good learning sessions a teacher will ensure he/she takes a multi-sensory approach to teaching, this way each learner can work to the best of their ability. Initial assessment and contracting before any learning takes place will ensue that learner needs are highlighted, therefore suitable support and lesson planning can take place. Inclusive learning is also about promoting a supportive and motivating learning environment that addresses the needs and barriers of all learners. For example, learners with wheelchairs need have appropriate access to the classroom and other facilities. Task 13 Strength and limitation of teaching and learning approaches Strengths and limitation of teaching and learning approaches are when a teacher implements all inclusive teaching
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.
By allowing certain behaviors to occur without consequences the teacher is sending the message that it is okay. This can cause the students to lose focus and a decrease in understanding of the lesson being taught. It can also allow chaos to reign supreme. Disruptions can also make other students feel threatened. Students must feel safe and secure in their class in order to learn and grow in education.
Each example can be examined by different perspectives, identifying the problems, and suggesting some solutions. Each situation would be different if it was actually happening but a case allows analysis of a real life scenario. Reviewing different cases gives knowledge that will help shape teachers experiences in the classroom. The knowledge teachers can gain from analyzing cases and offering alternate solutions can be applied if similar situations arise in the classroom. Discussing cases in small group settings can be a huge benefit in that each person would bring varying perspectives, critiques and solutions to the table, increasing the knowledge of each teacher more than if they were to just complete individually.
For example, the most effective method would be, to respect the students and their feelings before they can respect you. Dr. Michaels stated that, “You will gain respect by knowing the emotional, physical, and psychological place of your students. “Show that you care.” This all leads back to students wanting to know that their teacher not only cares about their education but them as an individual. As an after school instructor, I have dealt with many cases where a students didn’t feel like they had to show me respect right off the bat. Which is something that I can understand, because children don’t really comprehend the importance of respect or manners, its something that has to be taught to them.
I know we can be overwhelmed by numbers but there should be away to reach students on the levels they are and teach them to the levels were we want them to be. Until each student has been assessed and helped, I do not think we are attacking the problems in the urban environment. This will take many hands and resources but until we support the whole student the outcomes will remain. A child is not measured in my
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.
Society thrives on the philosophy of allowing children to do what they want when they want. When in reality these students are often are acting up or failing grades to get attention from parents and mentors. Neo-Scholasticism allows students to become internally motivated. Students who have internal as well as external motivation to finish school will be less likely to drop out of school. While, factors such as constant absentness, unwanted behaviors, and low grades influence drop-out rates, school that have stricter guidelines and repercussions for the factors might make students think twice about their actions.
Explain how to Select Resources that Meet the Needs of Learners: Resources are range of items used in to deliver learning, these can come in many forms and used in many ways, so it important to ensure that resources are accessible to all learners. Resources should stimulate learning as well as impart and promote interest in the subject, so it is crucial to select resources that also meet the needs of your learners. Resources should meet the required learning styles in the group as well as the objective of the session. Resources can be in form of books, handouts, pens, computers, overhead projector, work/activity sheets and also teachers and other professionals. In IT class, the most used resources are the computer, overhead projector, handouts, whiteboard/flipchart and voice.
Hollywood ages differently than we do in the “real world”. Thirty five years old in Hollywood could easily mean they are sixty years old because they have been around for a while, especially the child stars. Cameras can have that effect. So when an actress or actor feels they have not been getting excellent, much deserved roles because of their age, it is only a weird instinct for them to get some sort of cosmetic augmentation, even if it is just botox. Botox is just a simple set of needle injections to the face or extremities.
