Reflective practice is important to the development of lecturers as professionals as it enables us to learn from our experiences of teaching and make easier student learning. Developing reflective practise means developing ways of reviewing our own teaching so that it becomes a routine and a process by which we might continuously develop. Kolb’s Learning Style Model. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_styles Kolb developed a theory of experiential learning that can give us a useful model by which to develop our practise. This
unctional skills provide students with the essential knowledge, skills and understanding that will enable them to operate confidently, effectively and independently in life and at work. (Functional Skills Update 2, QCA, December 2005) It is important to embed functional skills into teaching to give your learners underpinning skills. By doing this within the main subject the learning process is made more interesting. Within the teaching of Information Technology, functional skills could be incorporated in activities using word processing packages, spreadsheets, databases, The Internet, electronic quizzes, computer games, video and other forms of multimedia. By designing activities based around computers and technology, Information Technology learners will feel more comfortable and confident completing tasks.
I believe that students also need to learn about effective communication strategies primarily in school so that they can find ways to work together with their teachers and peers to find academic success. The successful methods of communicating that is learnt in school can be carried out in communicating with others out side of school as well. Within the classroom I encourage
Learning and Communicating Online A written response by Kerri-Anne Hill TP 2 Unit COM10003 Swinburne University As an online learner aiming to be a professional in the field of Early Childhood Education, I have learnt the following. The skills and attributes I need in order to be successful in my chosen career are the ability to keep accurate records of children, the ability to communicate effectively with parents, families and co-workers. The ability to maintain order within a classroom, the ability to operate learning devices for disabled children. The ability to plan engaging children’s curriculum and document it to share. The ability to evaluate children’s learning to identify possible learning difficulties.
NAEYC Codes of Ethics Core Values *Appreciate childhood as a unique and valuable stage of the human life. Appreciating childhood could affect teaching in the classroom because you would know how to teach them better. I think that you would also be able to come up with more developmentally appropriate activities for the children. *Base our work on knowledge of how children develop and learn. By basing knowledge on how children develop and learn, it can help make more developmentally appropriate activities.
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.

Test-taking, career-oriented, learning behavior, decision-making, and critical thinking are all areas in which I have strengths. I was able to apply this to my theory through the way in which class is conducted, and the students are assessed. DI and inclusion push for children to embrace their learning behavior and styles while helping them develop deeper thinking processes. Creating success and higher levels of thinking allow children to become goal orientated which will help them when it is time to choose career paths of their own. In my theory, an effective teacher must also be willing to change and adapt lesson plans based on the needs of the students.
It is through these theories that we will gain more insight into the issues associated with school system-wide leadership (Knapp, et al, 2008, p. 35). This study will use these learning theories to illuminate the reasoning for educational reform, and inform the research obtained from the focus groups and interviews. These theories are vital to the study, because they are the basis for change and adaptability of people within professional environments. Organizational change refers to the learning of a collective, and how students
Why is it desirable to maximise individual and team participation in learning events and how can this be done? As a manager we are in a positon to support and encourage our team members to actively seeks ways to build learning experiences about tackling new challenges and looking at problems in new ways. We can do this by learning events as per below; • Demonstrations • Role-plays, games and simulations • Discussions, presentations, brainstorming • Case studies, problem solving / analysis activities • Field trips • Assignments, projects and reports • Work-based learning –on the floor Facilitate and promote learning 3.
