Teacher accountability presents that supporters of teachers being held accountable argue that ranking teachers numerically relative to their peers is the only way to evaluate teachers. Many supporters feel that the child should not be the only one that feels the burden of failure. Other people argue that a teacher’s ability cannot be summarized in a letter or number grade stated in Education: Teacher Accountability. If teacher are effective they will be able to keep their job, and if they are not an effective teacher the school district will have no choice other than to let the teacher go. Teachers are tested annually to make sure they are and can be effective teachers.
Inclusive learning should promote positive behaviour and conduct. A teacher needs to recognise that learner comes with different learning styles and needs. Maslow stated unless certain need are met the learner cannot progress. Malsow ‘s hierarchy of needs theory is: Learners needs have to to be met in order for leaners to be involved and focused on their learning. 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.
What does the statement, “Students not only care what you know, but want to know you care” mean to you? This statement to me means, that there are students who not only seek for a teacher with knowledge, but a teacher who will appreciate them as a student, and encourage them to succeed. This is because many students are discouraged by those teachers who are in a classroom because it is their job rather than their passion. Everyday I encounter different students with different personalities, but through my experience with children, I have learned that, the most common students are those who are in need of a caring hand and support. For example, I once worked with a group of fifth graders who were all very well behaved, but there was one boy
While this statements sound so simplistic, it’s really being lost in the world of teaching. While trying to keep up with testing standards and needs of students, we as teachers must make sure that we are not creating ignorant thinkers. As teachers we must accept that we don’t have all the answers and that just like students, we are constantly learning. When Dr. Wayson was speaking, I couldn’t
The principal also feels that sensitivity and a selectiveness nature must be given to staff. He feels that staff have many things going on, time is an enemy of all and there needs to be an understanding as to what they can handle. Another factor of importance raised by the principal is the fact that he stated that what supervisors need to be conscious of is the fact that professional development should, in some cases is researched based. With this in mind he feels that those involved need to be mindful of that fact that research-based elicits proving that something is effective. With this key piece he believes creates greater success professional for educators and better higher achieving results for
The team must be aware of the current state of the school and manage this effectively, be imaginative in trying new ideas/initiatives in a manner that can get the whole school behind their ideas. They will need to be diligent in tracking changes and update the progress with appropriate actions that need to be addressed. | Teachers | Teaching staff prepare lessons to ensure students are engaged and that effective learning for all abilities takes place within the classroom. They prepare assignments/assessments and mark work that has been submitted to give students feedback. They ensure that the information they deliver is current and correct to best of their knowledge.
It shows that the school staffs have a common purpose; i.e. to achieve the targets and provide the support required for a great learning environment for pupils and colleagues. When working in a team in a school, problems are exposed to a greater diversity of knowledge, skill and experience and therefore a greater variety of complex issues can be tackled effectively. Faster output is another benefit of a good teamwork. As no person can be good at everything, working in a team provides a great opportunity for the school staff to learn from each other’s skills and talents.
Thinking about Torey Hayden’s students and my cousin I began to think about all those children and people who are on the border, they have some sort of disability, but they are aware of it and can sense this different way people look at them and treat them. This issue of separateness and an omnipresent stigma of being different or strange or crazy attached to our special education students is exactly why I feel it is so important that they can be part of a mainstream classroom, in which the teacher can create a community of acceptance and appreciation for all. Though this may seem idealistic, where are we going to move to as a society made up of fatalists, such as Edna and the doctor who
So, it’s the duty of the teacher try to figure out what’s causing students that they are not taking interest in their classes. If I were a teacher I would have followed the following steps as a teacher to make the content not boring and make students more active in the classroom. As a teacher I need to aware of learning, motivation, behavior, and development theories in order to relate to my students and push them to reach their full potential. It is my duty to see that all my students are being motivated this is only fair to the students. They deserve my time and full attention in regards to their
Gatto is saying that schooling is made for kids to adapt to; it has adaptive qualities, therefore there is a chance for everyone to succeed if they really want to, but it takes away from any individual thinking. Conforming is another evil of school because it makes us forced to learn things we really have no interest in and as Gatto states “its intention is to make children as alike as possible”(153). A lot of students use this excuse while they are in high school “when am I ever going to use this again in life” ill be honest I have said it before but I don't necessarily agree with these students because you need to build a base education before you figure out what you want your schooling to focus on. Kids change their minds everyday, I realized that I’m not quite sure I want to be an art major anymore, even being in the first couple of classes I knew it wasn’t for me
