Effective Teaching Adults
Introduction
Every learner has the potential to become any and everything he or she may want to become in the
future. They can reach for the stars, only when they are given the right opportunities, effective
teaching is implemented and of course the appropriate and equivalent resources are at their reach.

Be Consistent
Teaching adults is not the same as teaching young children from school. As an ABET educator, I
would have to make sure that I am consistent with my work schedule, meaning I do every thing in a
simple but positive way. I would also try not to switch things up unless change is needed. Because if
I do switch things up, learners will get confused. I would work hard and show care to my learners
and put as much effort into teaching ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
I would work with them and share concerns about learners who are struggling.
Introduce new assessment methods
Some people may find it easier to find new methods of assessing learners, should old ones not seem
to work anymore. Class activities are not enough to build on the learners grades or intellect.
Assignments, homeworks, participation and projects also ensures multiple opportunities to
demonstrate knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways.
Conclusion
Working with a great team can help in making sure that the goals educators and learners have set are
reached and achieved in time. It also means that educators need to love what they do, care about
their learners and their opinions. Educators need to be patient towards learners.
Gandhi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world". So really, it starts with educators. They
need to push for time to be able to plan and use that time well. They need to motivate learners who
are told that they won't be able to make it or learners who believe that they are failures.
Educators need to think outside the box and support learners. Be the kind of teacher who is driven to

Reflection On Student Learning And Effective Teaching
What is teacher reflection? How do the three different types of reflection (reflection in–action, on–
action and for–action) help the teacher support student learning? Compare and contrast their
strengths and limitations focussing on how evidence is used within each type of reflection.
Reflective practice is a means of actively observing, analysing and evaluating our teaching practices
for subsequent action in order to discover which methods or strategies are successful in encouraging
student learning and effective teaching. It is an individual and collaborative process encompassing
'all time designations, past, present, and future simultaneously' as is discussed by Schon in Killion
and Todnem (1991, p15). Reflection is a 'form of enquiry through which teachers can question their
actions, the contexts in which they teach, and all the influences on those actions and contexts' as
Killen discusses (2007, p92). The reflective practice process assists in revealing our limitations,
whether these be skill or knowledge based, resulting from a lack of experience or through the
misuse of various teaching techniques, however, reflection alone does not facilitate improvement.
Dewey believes the need for reflection arises from 'a problematic or an indeterminate situation',
'troublesome event or experience' or an 'unsettling situation that cannot be resolved using standard
operating procedures' which is 'prompted by a sense of uncertainty or unease' (Kottkamp &
Osterman, 1993, p3).

1. What is the relationship between effective teaching and student achievement?
The relationship between effective teaching and student achievement is powerful. In fact, effective
teaching instruction is the foundation for student success. According to Schmoker (2006), effective
instruction plays a stronger role in student achievement than the economic nature of the community
and/or the financial situation of a school district. A solid data–based curriculum taught by effective
teachers is the key to improving lives and society in general. Teachers who practice elements of
effective teaching are capable of helping their students reach their learning goals. In fact, a simple

All effective teaching practices are important for teacher leadership. Since student achievement
depends on effective teaching, these practices must be the driving force of the teacher leader's
efforts. Reflective practices are extremely important because they allow the teacher leader to support
teachers as they study data and make required revisions to curriculum.
A teacher leader assists teachers in developing and revising curriculum. They help the teachers
identify priority standards, they assist teachers with the creation of pacing guides for the sake of
organization and time management, they help teachers create and revise common assessments and
learning activities, and they assist teachers in the curriculum revision process. These are all elements
of effective instruction. However, the reflective element cannot be forgotten. If teachers simply
continue on with the next unit of study, there is a chance a student will be unable to learn the
material; the teacher has continued without them, and this is not acceptable.
Only by participating in reflective practices such as gathering and charting data will a teacher leader
be able to help teachers determine if a learning goal has been met. According to McTighe & Curtis
(2016), teachers must have the end in mind, and they must be able to determine signs that learning
has or has not occurred. This can be determined through data, and teacher leaders have the ability to

Effective Teaching Assistants
ABSTRACT: Based on our long–standing Intensive Training Program for Effective Teaching
Assistants in Chemistry, we have developed an Advanced Training Course for Teachers and
Researchers in Chemistry at The University of Chicago. The topics in this course are designed to
train Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) to become excellent teachers and well–rounded PhD
candidates. The goals of the course are to build ethics, critical thinking, and a strong self–image
through the use of innovative pedagogical tools. Concurrently, the GTAs are transitioned into
independent researchers with the skills to prepare high quality written reports and oral presentations.
This course was successful based on the results of multiple assessments. The experience gained and
issues identified from the course can be used to guide future training courses.

Effective Teaching And Learning Environment
Explanatory statement:
The ultimate goal is to be an authentic and effective teacher, who creates a classroom atmosphere,
where students feel safe in their learning environment and become self–confident individuals.
Furthermore, teachers must possess both comprehensive pedagogical knowledge and an exceptional
content knowledge in their chosen specialty field to create a positive, effective, and authentic
learning environment. An effective learning environment, in accordance with The Australian
Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority, provides learners with general capabilities, content
and encourages confident, involved learners and effective communicators (2014). The Australian
Professional Teaching Standards define the elements required to ensure high quality teaching
explicitly across seven standards. However, it is worthy of note that all seven standards are
interrelated and complementary in establishing an effective teaching and learning environment for
all students.
This particular performance assessment component is based on six year 10 Mathematics lessons,
which were taught during my second teaching practicum at William Ross State High School. An
extensive range of data was collected and used to facilitate the pedagogical approaches used in each
of the six lessons.

Belongingness and Love needs – work group, family, affection, relationships. The learners on the
confidence course are encouraged to continue as a group to support each other with future goals
once the ten weeks are up. This continues to have a positive effect on the learners' future goals and
encourages positive relationships. Esteem needs – self–esteem, achievement, mastery,
independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility. This comes from the
achievement of attending and finishing the course. Cognitive needs – knowledge, meaning, making
sense of things. Understanding why they come to have low self esteem and understanding there are
many ways to change this. Self–Actualization needs – realising personal potential, self–fulfillment,
seeking personal growth and peak experiences. This definitely comes on the last session when the
learners feel so empowered to move on with goals that have been set. Making a vision board that is

Effective Methods Of Teaching In Dante's Inferno By Dante
Effective methods of Teaching There are multiple styles of teaching. In the poem Inferno by Dante,
Dante took a long trip with his master Virgil exploring different stages of hell. In the Euthyphro by
Plato, Socrates challenges Euthyphro to define holiness. In the Apology by Plato, Socrates explained
his views on the accusations that were against him. In the Crito by Plato, Socrates demonstrates
choosing death is being authentic to his legacy of philosophizing. Therefore, if Socrates had been
the one guiding Dante, he would have been an ineffective teacher.
Virgil is an effective teacher. Throughout the cantos Virgil is described as a wonderful guider who
was very motivated to assist Dante. Virgil wanted Dante to learn about the nine circles of hell and
the type of punishment being served to different souls. For example in Canto one Virgil mentions
"Soul in fire and yet content in fire" (I.112). Additionally, Virgil has a non–philosophical educational
approach since he does not ask Dante any question but only explains everything to him. For
example, Virgil describes the characteristics of Beatrice fully stating "She tracks down all, kills all,
and knows no glut" (I.92). Virgil is also a very consistent educator because when Dante "soul's ruin"
he appears in order to provide hope to Dante. Furthermore, the core strength of Virgil styles of
teaching is he explains all details in a comprehensive manner to Dante.
Being great at discussion does not facilitate an effective method to teaching. As a philosopher
Socrates would have been an ineffective teacher. Socrates' teaching are mostly involves through him
questioning an individual. In the Euthyphro Socrates wanted to teach about the general meaning of
piety he started philosophizing in the hope of finding an answer which did not happened. For
instance Socrates questions Euthyphro about "what kind of thing do you say that godliness and
ungodliness are, both as regards murder and other things;" (5). This action illustrates that as a
teacher Socrates would only instruct by asking students question. In "The Inferno" when Dante lost
hope after seeing the three beast he cried "Have pity on me" and Virgil told him to "follow me and I
will be your guide" (canto1.

Effective Communication Necessary for Effective Teaching
Effective communication is an essential skill for teachers to possess. Their level of communication
must be high in listening, verbal and in writing amongst students, parents, the school and even
community.
The superior level of communication through listening, explaining and providing feedback from the
teacher to each student is crucial to ensure learning and future development. Listening to students to
gain knowledge of their current progress and level of understanding is most essential for high
quality learning and teaching because it allows the teacher to adapt their methods of communication
so that students understand. Being able to explain tasks and present learning material to students in
ways they will understand is also important for students to gain knowledge and encourage learning.
An example of effectively explaining tasks to students is when it comes to homework as if the
student does not completely understand the homework tasks they may struggle when trying to do the
work from home with parents if the task is not clear and concise. Feedback both verbally and in
writing, is imperative as it ensures that students are on track and find ways of improving with their
studies in a positive way. Without this high degree of communication between teachers to students
done by listening, explaining and offering feedback there is no guarantee that any learning can
occur.
Teachers need to be effective communicators when it comes to parents for mainly reporting on

Effective Teaching Essay
Introduction
"Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach". This simple proverb from George Bernard Shaw's
"Man and Superman" is often quoted in modern times, denigrating the hard work of teachers from
preparatory grades right through to the highest academic institutions. While it is true that almost
anyone can teach in the true definition of the word, being an effective teacher is a much harder
proposition. A truly effective teacher has a wide pedagogical skill set, along with the knowledge of
when to apply it, an awareness of their students in terms of their needs and abilities and an
understanding of the curriculum and its aims. This essay will review some of the critical
prerequisites of an effective teacher.

An effective teacher would be aware of any restrictions or special needs of their students to ensure
that all students would be able to participate and gain knowledge from the lesson without feeling
alienated. In this example having print–outs of the slides and a transcript of the video, which would
ensure that the students would be able to have access to the knowledge and join in on follow up
activities and discussions.
The lesson plan attached in Appendix A shows a lesson that is designed in a way where all students
can engage regardless of their backgrounds. Concerns specific to that lesson related to children not
having regular access to gardens and outdoor areas, a common concern with many high density
suburbs and high–rise apartment blocks. The core of each activity is based around pedagogical
questions to enable the entire class to participate, while still having a psycho–social element at the
end, where students can add their personal experiences and relate the lessons back to their real life
experiences.
The next student–based skill set is classroom management. An effective teacher understands the
classroom environment has a large impact in a student's successes. An effective teacher will choose
a classroom management style based on the unique student body composition. A secondary school

Are We Teaching An Effective Manner, And If It?
Education Evolved
Having the largest frontal lobe of any animal, letting us process complex and abstract thoughts, we
humans have a clear advantage when it comes to understanding our world (Lewis). It is a sad case
when the human mind is not trained to make the most of it. Understanding our world is as
fundamental to the human race as swimming is to fish. As John Dewey put it "...This process begins
unconsciously almost at birth, and is continually shaping the individual 's powers, saturating his
consciousness, forming his habits, training his ideas, and arousing his feelings and emotions". It
does not matter if it takes place in a small tribe or on a national scale, we are always learning. The
question is, are we teaching in an effective manner, and if not, how can we?
Education has been with us since time immemorial. One definition of education according to
Google Dictionary is "an enlightening experience" (Google Search). The thing about an enlightening
experience is that no classroom is needed, anyone can have one at any time. The problem is that
without any structured education, one individual might have such an enlightenment while another is
left in the dark. A dissonance then arises between them. Such a simple thing as knowing and not
knowing can lead to lower social status (Hickman) and lower quality jobs (Bernstein) among other
discrepancies. Ideally education would bridge the gap between the privileged and the

The skill required to becoming creative adults are not being taught. Alfie Kohn has taken a strong
stand against grading. In his article "From Degrading to De–Grading", Kohn discusses three main
effects of grading. Kohn writes that once a grade is attached to an assignment the perception of the
student goes from learning/fun to grading/chore. He also feels that the more pressure to get an A, the
less inclination for the student to accept challenges and the greater incentive to choose the easier
assignment. Finally he believes that "the knowledge that a grade is attached to a learning assignment
the quality of the student's thinking was degraded" (Kohn 238,239). Although I agree with Kohn's
philosophy that there is a difference between "how motivated students are; to how students are
motivated" (Kohn 241). A method for measuring how well the student is learning the subject is
necessary.
A student might love working with electronics, but the reality is the student may not be good enough
to follow that career path. Parents today use grading as a means to gage and access the child's
progress. Laura Owen wrote an article for teachingmonster.com that wrote, "According to leaders in
the field, the true purpose of assessment is to evaluate a student's level of understanding, and should
be used to provide appropriate feedback and guidance in planning future instruction" (Owen 1).

Marzano's Effective Teaching and Learning Strategies
Effective schools make a big difference in student achievement. Effective leadership makes a
positive difference, too. Effective teachers, however, directly impact student learning and
achievement. It's been shown that teachers who have a large repertoire of effective instructional
strategies teach differently (Tyson).They're more intentional in their objectives, strategies, and
intended outcomes. And, have better results. Robert Marzano, an educational leader, conducted a
meta–analysis of instructional strategies to determine which were the most effective. While
Marzano's nine strategies provide useful suggestions for instruction, they are even more powerful
when accompanied by other essential ingredients for student learning. Towards that end, all
technology can be used to address Marzano's work. Each strategy can be addressed using a "tech
tool," which can make a difference in the learning experience of students. Technology has so many
uses, therefore, much of their usefulness overlaps in categories.

By being able to go online, you can teach students many things. As health concerns, you can show
the kids healthy food choices at a young age so as they grow they start to realize for themselves
what is healthy and unhealthy. Also, when teaching a certain sport or trying to explain something, a
teacher can simply go online and research more on the topic to get a better understanding of what
has to be taught. By showing the student's videos of how to do certain things, the students can
understand it better so when it is time to perform the task they can recall to watching the video and
perform the task. There are also many inspiration videos so that they kids can get motivated and
excited to attend gym class. When a teacher isn't strong in a certain subject they can go online and

Effective Science Teaching
Science is, by its nature, inquiry based and science knowledge is built through processes in which
discoveries of the natural world are made (Abruscato, 2000). It utilizes discovery and scientific
thinking process to explore and learn knowledge and skills. Learning by doing is the new efficient
method in teaching science. For kindergarten, this method leads to better understanding of science
concepts and builds skills that children will use in future life .What a child can do with assistance
now, they can later do on their own (Vygotsky, 1978). John Dewey (1916) stated that children must
be engaged in an active quest for learning and new ideas. Inquiry is important in educating
kindergarteners because it not only keeps them interested in lessons but also helps them retain more
information when performing exploration and investigation. Children are naturally motivated to
learn and actively seek out information to help their understanding (Piaget, 1950).The success of
students who participate in hands– on inquiry activities suggests that if students have first hands
experience with science, concepts are easier to understand and apply and students are generally
more favorable to science and have better understanding of the nature of science .Within a
conceptual framework, inquiry learning and active learner involvement can lead to important
outcomes in the classroom. In kindergarten, students who are actively making observations,

Reflection On Effective Teaching
Introduction
In this analysis, my objective is to reflect on effective teaching and learning strategies and methods,
using my personal experience in the classroom, as well as wider reading/research and university
lectures, including my contextual analysis on my placement school (see appendix one).
However, since there are so many dynamics to effective teaching and learning, one cannot put a
finger on a single aspect and use that as a solution. With this in mind, I have chosen to look at two
foci in depth. These are 'Classroom Management' and 'Questioning Techniques' – but before we
analyse these foci in depth, it is important to understand what 'teaching' and 'learning' are. Not only

The first teacher, who also happens to be my Subject Mentor, is a very experienced staff member, he
has known the students since they started the school in Year 7, and hence he has a personal
relationship with them. Because of this, he is able to joke around with them and therefore be slightly
friendly. This works well in this particular situation, however, it does not mean it would work for
every teacher.
Secondly, the other staff member happens to be someone with a practical approach; she involves the
students very much so in her lessons – but at the same time they are encouraged to work on
independently too, as she has a slightly softer approach to teaching, hence the pupils behave
differently.
Lastly, the third staff member is Assistant Headteacher – he has a very informal way of teaching, to
the point where he addresses the learners by their nicknames. Furthermore, he uses slang in his
lessons for better understanding for the learners.
Why teachers use different methods has a deep connection with how learners learn.
How do learners learn?
There are different learning styles, which should be the reason behind teachers using different
teaching styles. Studies suggest it is important for people to be in the right state of mind in order to
learn. If a person is not in the right mind to learn, learning can be ineffective.

Effective Teaching
Introduction
Teaching is a profession that is considered to be a rewarding challenging and complex role. An
effective teacher does not simply teach knowledge their students and instead aims to arm students
with the knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes that will prepare students for life–long
learning. The constructivist theories developed by Piaget and Vygotsky have impacted on the way
that teachers teach and this has changed the approach of teaching to place a greater importance on
the teacher instead to act as a facilitator of learning in an open, constructivist environment and
providing students with the tools to challenge themselves to develop both academically and
personally. The education of students within classrooms ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

Communication
Marsh (2010) states that non–verbal communication has a greater impact on a student's learning
than that of verbal communication, and effective teachers are those who utilise the non–verbal cues
to enhance and reiterate their verbal communication. Verbal communication can be separated into
areas of explanation, asking questions and listening (Marsh, 2010) and effective teachers are those
who create an environment in which all students can express their views and ask questions in an
open and supportive environment. Explanations of information need to be presented to the class in a
confident manner using clear, logical steps that are explained appropriately by using language that is
understood. The use of questioning is essential to all parties within the classroom and is not only
used as an assessment tool by the teacher and as a clarification from the student but as means of
managing the classroom effectively. Marsh states that questioning can be grouped as psycho–social
or pedagogical. Psycho–social refers to the relationship between students and the teacher and

The Essential Characteristics of Effective Teaching
THE ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF EFFECTIVE TEACHING
What distinguishes a good teacher from a great teacher? Traditionally, a teacher was defined as an
educator who instructed students in a classroom. Nowadays we no longer look at a teacher as a
respected figure who educates a room full of children but as a motivator, a knowledgeable and
approachable member of the community who is there to make a student reach his/her maximum
potential. Effective teaching basically comes down to the characteristics a teacher upholds.
Throughout this assignment, these characteristics will be questioned and analysed alongside the

She is constantly giving examples and individually approaching students. When she notices that the
subject gets repetitive she then "interrupts" the class by making her students follow a series of claps
which once again engages a student's attention. A teacher who can recognise when encouragement is
needed can use creativity to retain attention and encourage students who do not necessarily enjoy a
subject.
A teacher who can create a loving, safe and peaceful school environment is also what distinguishes a
good teacher from a great teacher. As stated before, the amount of time children spend in schools is
substantial, therefore; a school must provide a student with a safe environment. Not only is the
school a student attends a place for academic learning but a place where children will develop social
skills and build friendships with their peers. These social skills will influence their future and
therefore must be created in an environment where a child feels at ease. Unfortunately, schools have
become the place where many children are exposed to teasing and physical bullying. Most students
may turn to family for help, but most often will fear a negative reaction, therefore; teachers should
be there to show support and should be counted on to listen. Even if a student's problem may seem

WHAT IS EFFECTIVE TEACHING
INTRODUCTION:–
Teaching is a highly skilled job and therefore requires adequate training and preparation on the part
of teachers. Teaching is a complex set of attitudes, knowledge, skills, motivation and values.
Effecting teaching varies from mere teaching. Additional learning in the above mentioned areas
might lead to effective teaching and learning. The improvement of learning requires an awareness of
the complex relational ship among faculty, students and institutions. In other words, we can say that
there is no single method for effective teaching and learning. The contribution of all these factors

To help students gain confidence in higher–order thinking with complex text, effective teachers
gradually increase task complexity, moving from lower–level to higher–level task.
Many students believe that reading informational text is a waste of time because they can just search
the web for what they need at that time. Effective teachers get their students to believe the text is
important to get the students to read it. For teachers to increase the perceived value of reading is to
help students understand how reading the text benefits them across a range of situations. Effective
teachers give students opportunities to apply the informational text they read to concrete classroom
task.
Effective teachers set up frequent opportunities for collaboration to support students' social
motivation for reading informational text. Social interaction around text has to be well managed to
ensure that students listen to one another. The students get to use creativity making new things and
makes old things new. Students build on one another's thoughts to explain the major theme of the
text by successively adding key elements as they take turns contributing to the synthesis. This helps
students become more skillful in interpreting complex text.

How Students Learn And Effective Classroom Teaching...
SC2 Demonstrate an understanding of how students learn and effective classroom teaching
strategies and the capacity to work with colleagues to continually improve teaching and learning.
At Mill Park Secondary College (Senior Campus), I have the opportunity to work with a group of
Year 10 students on their financial mathematics. The class is made up of 14 boys and 11 girls. And
here is a glimpse of their background. This is a low SES co–ed school with an ICSEA value of 984
(My School, 2015a), which is below the national average value of 1000 (ACARA, n.d.). Their
numeracy score is conclusively below the national average score of 580.
Teaching mathematics to these can be challenging as they lack a proper foundation in numeracy.
Some, who lack interests in mathematics, tend to be less cooperative and may endeavour to do as
little as possible. However, research have shown that adolescent are most likely be engaged with a
learning session if they can relate to the content; and more importantly, if they can perceive value in
what they learn.
So, as an introduction to financial mathematics, I decide to immerse them in a real–world problem
context: comparison shopping at their local supermarkets. I gave each of them a Coles or a

information of two products they buy regularly from either Coles or Woolworths, followed by a

Feedback Is Essential For Effective Teaching Essay
COMMIINICATION FEEDBACK
To be sure that the message (knowledge of the subject) has reached the students (the receiver) with
the same meaning, purpose and intention as was desired, the teacher has to get some
acknowledgement from the students. Feedback is the process that ensures this. This can take the
form of a mod, an acknowledgement, or doing something as expected by the students. Feedback
provides a learning opportunity to the–teacher and the students both as it mirrors where the
communication has gaps or inadequacies indicating the corrective action to be taken. In case of
classroom teaching such feedback is essential for effective teaching. On the other hand if students
act in conformity with the communicated items, they also need to know this from the teacher. This
kind of feedback loop is the most essential principle of effective teaching. Positive and negative
both kinds of feedback are necessary. They should, however be focused on specific action rather
than on the individual student. Comments related to behavior are accepted more easily than those
relating to an individual personality, attitudes, feelings etc. But it is necessary to tell the students
where they are wrong. If they are not told this, the wrongs may perpetuate. Feedback, which is
provided "Here and Now" is more meaningful than the delayed one. It is more effective to provide a
feedback as a way of sharing information rather than insisting on the right way of doing things. For
that reason the teacher

Teaching And Teaching : Effective Pedagogy
In order to discuss what I have learnt so far about effective pedagogy in science, the term pedagogy
needs to be defined and the associated processes understood.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines pedagogy as "The method and practice of teaching,
especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept" (Oxford dictionary of English, 2010). I
interpret this to mean that effective pedagogy is the teaching of an academic subject carried out in a
way that is effective for the individual learner to understand and grasp the knowledge being taught.
A review from New Zealand found it hard to determine what is effective pedagogy generally. It
suggested that effective pedagogy is influenced by the particular curriculum, assessments, social and
learning outcome and objectives (Jones & Baker, 2012). This suggests the teacher plays the major
role in fashioning effective pedagogy given a certain environment and it is their duty to strive to
maintain this (Carr et al., 2000).
There are three main approaches to the processes of teaching; behaviourism, constructivism and
social constructivism (Pollard et al., 2014). Behaviourism is a model by which the teacher is
dominant and leads teaching by instructing the student while the student is passive in input (Pollard
et al., 2014). This contrasts with constructivism and social constructivism, in which the student is
actively engaged and learning is able to happen independent of teaching. Constructivism is a model
by which the student is

The Importance Of Effective Teaching Practices Essay
Demonstrating Effective Teaching Practices Criterion two of the Teacher and Principal Evaluation
Program is "Demonstrating Effective Teaching Practices" (CEL 5D+, 2014, p.3). The focal point of
this criterion is developing teaching practices that engage all or most students. Implementing
effective teaching practices positively affects students in a variety of ways. It allows students to
learn the necessary skills for them to be independent lifelong learners, helps them develop a deeper
understanding and meaning of texts, find solutions to real world problems, increase comprehension,
thinking and reasoning skills as well as increases achievement (Alozie & Mitchell, 2014; Chun &

support the following four sub–criterions: quality of questioning, expectation and support and
opportunity for participation and meaning making, substance of student talk and finally, scaffolding
tasks. Quality of Questioning The first component of the second criterion is quality of questioning
(CEL 5D+, 2014). In order for teachers to become proficient in this area they must "frequently

One characteristic of effective teaching is the ability to inspire and motivate students. Teacher is one
of the main people that will be helping shape the students. The ability to inspire is important because
student is looking up to teachers as a way of guidance. They want to be able to trust that the
information that the teacher is teaching will help develop their knowledge. The teachers have the
ability to help mold students into what their want to be in life. Encouragement is also needed for
students in order to motivate them. The teacher must learn how to understand the students in a way
where they will be able to motivate them. Both inspiration and motivation will impact the student to
achieving the best. Another characteristics of effective teaching are caring for the student. All
students want to experience the feeling that their teacher cares about them. Caring will give a
positive response to students. Caring shows that the teacher cares about whether the students
understand the material. Caring will show understanding between teachers and students. It will
allow room for bonding between teacher and student. Caring will show teachers dedication towards
the students' achievements. Caring will help a student to remain positive in schoolwork. A teacher

A large body of research supports the connection between highly effective teachers and student
success (Darling–Hammond, 2000; Darling–Hammond & Berry, 2006; Wenglinsky, 2000). Because
the purpose of instructional coaching is to improve teacher practice, it makes sense to also expect an
effect in student learning. However, while there is a wealth of research supporting the notion that
coaching is an effective means to help teachers improve their practice, there hasn't been a great deal
of research linking coaching to student achievement. In fact, according to Marsh, McCombs, and
Martorell (2010)"the largest gap in the existing research on coaching programs is the lack of
evidence of coaching programs' effects on student achievement" (p. 877).

Teaching Skills Are Essential For An Effective Teacher
Pedagogical skills are essential for an effective teacher. According to Killen (2015), teaching skills
is a crucial part of a qualified teaching. Various teaching strategies can assist differential students
gaining a knowledge (Conklin, 2010). For example, using rules and routines can establish a
particular learning environment (Harris, 2014). Moreover, Hansen and Moore (2011) claim that
direct instruction can stimulate the interaction between teachers and students. Therefore, applying
diverse pedagogical strategies into class can improve the effectiveness of teaching. In this essay, the
focus will be on discussing three teaching skills which are rules and routines, explaining and
questioning. In addition, there will also be a number of reflection of my practices in teaching. Rules
and routines are primary part of a classroom teaching. According to Marzano, Marzano and

elevate my teaching skills. I will briefly describe them as structure, groupings, instructional
strategies, the concept of linking assessment with teaching, and more effective collaboration with
my peers. The concept of differentiated learning is appealing to me and while going through my

at the same time as the teacher worked with small groups or individuals. The students were given

problem–solving skills and were guided to think critically about themselves and what was
happening around them. It was delightful to be helping in this classroom. This experience coupled
with this course, EDU 570, has given me much information to ponder with respect to how a

Teaching Education And Effective Practices
The world of education today is ever changing. As teachers get into a routine of implementation of
standards and programs, there becomes a major shift and many schools struggle to make that
transition. However, throughout all of the mandates and political arguments over education, teachers
are still expected to be effective. Teachers must shape the lives of each of their students and are
increasingly held accountable for their efforts. With heavier mandates for teachers, their abilities
may seem stifled as frustrations and tensions intensify. Therefore, there are several strategies one
can use to maintain teacher effectiveness.
Teacher Effectiveness
Robert Marzano's What Works in Schools is a researched–based book that characterizes the trends in
education and effective practices. There are three teacher–level factors that are common through
most educational researchers. They are: Instructional strategies, classroom management, and
classroom curriculum design (Marzano, 2003). Through these strategies, he poses several
recommendations, or "Action Steps," which should be implemented in today's schools. Many of
these strategies are used in schools. However, in reading and discussing Section II: Teacher–Level

Teachers are responsible for accommodating to the varied strengths and weaknesses of each student
and aiding them in reaching their full potential in a learning environment. Therefore, recognising
factors that can assist in classroom behaviours and effective teaching are important. Killen (2007, p.)

Withitness is the first principle in Kounins teacher management skills and is defined as the teachers'
ability to appear as though they are aware of all activities in the classroom (Barry & King, 1998)
and being able to communicate with the students effectively during tasks at all times. Managing
thirty or more students in a class can be difficult, therefore, having the ability to appropriately act
upon an arising situation without disrupting the class is vital (Marsh, 2004). Misbehaviour in a class
is inevitable, however, addressing a student in a correct manner can allow for other students to be
unaware of off–task situations. For example, if a teacher can sense a student is drifting off subject it
is important to obtain eye contact with the distracted student or ask questions referring to the
learning objective. This can allow for a classroom to run smoothly and create a positive learning
environment for all students. Additionally, learning the names of all students in a class can allow for
a teacher to address students and create a strong relationship. This allows teachers to communicate
in a manner which students will respond to positively and students understand what is expected of
them. The ability to apply withitness in a classroom requires a teacher to multitask which is reflected

The Importance Of Effective Teaching
1. What is effective teaching?
Effective teaching must be the goal of all educators. From serving as additional support for young
people, to preparing students for state assessments, the effective teacher has many responsibilities.
To become an effective teacher, one must demonstrate a variety of practices, and they must continue
to increase their knowledge of the craft as they gain practical experience.
To begin, teachers must be prepared to educate. A solid education in teaching practices, classroom
management, and subject material is the foundation effective teachings. Of course, experience can
increase teacher effectiveness, but first–year teachers can be effective in improving student learning,
as well. Also, years of experience will do nothing to improve student learning if the teacher has not
been experimenting with techniques and continually learning how to improve/polish their methods.
Once employed, an effective teacher must contribute collaboratively to the development or revision
of curriculum. While doing so, they should help determine the areas of need and the priority
standards. Lessons concerning these priority standards must be aligned to state standards, and
assessments (both pre– and post– assessments) must be created or revised. They must contribute to
the development or revision of pacing guides in order to divide the skills into manageable segments
of time during the unit/semester. Finally, effective teachers should work with colleagues to

Effective Teaching Adults

  • 1. Effective Teaching Adults Introduction Every learner has the potential to become any and everything he or she may want to become in the future. They can reach for the stars, only when they are given the right opportunities, effective teaching is implemented and of course the appropriate and equivalent resources are at their reach. Body Be Consistent Teaching adults is not the same as teaching young children from school. As an ABET educator, I would have to make sure that I am consistent with my work schedule, meaning I do every thing in a simple but positive way. I would also try not to switch things up unless change is needed. Because if I do switch things up, learners will get confused. I would work hard and show care to my learners and put as much effort into teaching ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I would work with them and share concerns about learners who are struggling. Introduce new assessment methods Some people may find it easier to find new methods of assessing learners, should old ones not seem to work anymore. Class activities are not enough to build on the learners grades or intellect. Assignments, homeworks, participation and projects also ensures multiple opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and understanding in a variety of ways. Conclusion Working with a great team can help in making sure that the goals educators and learners have set are reached and achieved in time. It also means that educators need to love what they do, care about their learners and their opinions. Educators need to be patient towards learners. Gandhi said "Be the change you wish to see in the world". So really, it starts with educators. They need to push for time to be able to plan and use that time well. They need to motivate learners who are told that they won't be able to make it or learners who believe that they are failures. Educators need to think outside the box and support learners. Be the kind of teacher who is driven to helping all learners to succeed. They are not ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 3. Reflection On Student Learning And Effective Teaching What is teacher reflection? How do the three different types of reflection (reflection in–action, on– action and for–action) help the teacher support student learning? Compare and contrast their strengths and limitations focussing on how evidence is used within each type of reflection. Reflective practice is a means of actively observing, analysing and evaluating our teaching practices for subsequent action in order to discover which methods or strategies are successful in encouraging student learning and effective teaching. It is an individual and collaborative process encompassing 'all time designations, past, present, and future simultaneously' as is discussed by Schon in Killion and Todnem (1991, p15). Reflection is a 'form of enquiry through which teachers can question their actions, the contexts in which they teach, and all the influences on those actions and contexts' as Killen discusses (2007, p92). The reflective practice process assists in revealing our limitations, whether these be skill or knowledge based, resulting from a lack of experience or through the misuse of various teaching techniques, however, reflection alone does not facilitate improvement. Dewey believes the need for reflection arises from 'a problematic or an indeterminate situation', 'troublesome event or experience' or an 'unsettling situation that cannot be resolved using standard operating procedures' which is 'prompted by a sense of uncertainty or unease' (Kottkamp & Osterman, 1993, p3). ...

According to Schmoker (2006), effective instruction plays a stronger role in student achievement than the economic nature of the community and/or the financial situation of a school district.

Effective teachers ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... All effective teaching practices are important for teacher leadership. Since student achievement depends on effective teaching, these practices must be the driving force of the teacher leader's efforts. Reflective practices are extremely important because they allow the teacher leader to support teachers as they study data and make required revisions to curriculum. A teacher leader assists teachers in developing and revising curriculum. They help the teachers identify priority standards, they assist teachers with the creation of pacing guides for the sake of organization and time management, they help teachers create and revise common assessments and learning activities, and they assist teachers in the curriculum revision process. These are all elements of effective instruction. However, the reflective element cannot be forgotten. If teachers simply continue on with the next unit of study, there is a chance a student will be unable to learn the material; the teacher has continued without them, and this is not acceptable. Only by participating in reflective practices such as gathering and charting data will a teacher leader be able to help teachers determine if a learning goal has been met. According to McTighe & Curtis (2016), teachers must have the end in mind, and they must be able to determine signs that learning has or has not occurred.

  • 7. Effective Teaching Assistants ABSTRACT: Based on our long–standing Intensive Training Program for Effective Teaching Assistants in Chemistry, we have developed an Advanced Training Course for Teachers and Researchers in Chemistry at The University of Chicago. The topics in this course are designed to train Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) to become excellent teachers and well–rounded PhD candidates. The goals of the course are to build ethics, critical thinking, and a strong self–image through the use of innovative pedagogical tools. Concurrently, the GTAs are transitioned into independent researchers with the skills to prepare high quality written reports and oral presentations. This course was successful based on the results of multiple assessments. The experience gained and issues identified from the course can be used to guide future training courses. KEYWORDS: Ethics, Pedagogy, Self–image, GTAs, Advanced GTA Training, Chemistry Teacher, Researcher, Empowerment, Community, Career Development, Educational Management INTRODUCTION ...

As addressed in the Graduate Education Commission Report published by the ACS, integrating career development skills into graduate education is critical to producing exceptional and employable PhD scientists (1). Proper training and guidance at an early stage in their graduate career provides effective tools with which to advance their career in teaching and research. Creating a healthy level of enthusiasm for teaching is also essential from the beginning of graduate school. These, coupled with high expectations and the tools to succeed, are the best way to train effective teachers and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 9. Effective Teaching And Learning Environment Explanatory statement: The ultimate goal is to be an authentic and effective teacher, who creates a classroom atmosphere, where students feel safe in their learning environment and become self–confident individuals. Furthermore, teachers must possess both comprehensive pedagogical knowledge and an exceptional content knowledge in their chosen specialty field to create a positive, effective, and authentic learning environment. An effective learning environment, in accordance with The Australian Curriculum and Assessment Reporting Authority, provides learners with general capabilities, content and encourages confident, involved learners and effective communicators (2014). The Australian Professional Teaching Standards define the elements required to ensure high quality teaching explicitly across seven standards. However, it is worthy of note that all seven standards are interrelated and complementary in establishing an effective teaching and learning environment for all students. This particular performance assessment component is based on six year 10 Mathematics lessons, which were taught during my second teaching practicum at William Ross State High School. An extensive range of data was collected and used to facilitate the pedagogical approaches used in each of the six lessons. Data from Oneschool (see component 1), a selection of student's prior assessment (see component 1) and summative assessment (see component 1) for the unit, allowed me to identify students' academic ...

Belongingness and Love needs – work group, family, affection, relationships. The learners on the confidence course are encouraged to continue as a group to support each other with future goals once the ten weeks are up. This continues to have a positive effect on the learners' future goals and encourages positive relationships. Esteem needs – self–esteem, achievement, mastery, independence, status, dominance, prestige, managerial responsibility. This comes from the achievement of attending and finishing the course. Cognitive needs – knowledge, meaning, making sense of things. Understanding why they come to have low self esteem and understanding there are many ways to change this. Self–Actualization needs – realising personal potential, self–fulfillment, seeking personal growth and peak experiences. This definitely comes on the last session when the learners feel so empowered to move on with goals that have been set. Making a vision board that is related to a persons self actualisation. Up until 1970 teaching strategies were known as pedagogy which is Greek and means "to lead a child" Knowles who is a huge figure in the humanist school challenged this as he didn't think it appropriate for adults.

  • 16. Effective Methods Of Teaching In Dante's Inferno By Dante Effective methods of Teaching There are multiple styles of teaching. In the poem Inferno by Dante, Dante took a long trip with his master Virgil exploring different stages of hell. In the Euthyphro by Plato, Socrates challenges Euthyphro to define holiness. In the Apology by Plato, Socrates explained his views on the accusations that were against him. In the Crito by Plato, Socrates demonstrates choosing death is being authentic to his legacy of philosophizing. Therefore, if Socrates had been the one guiding Dante, he would have been an ineffective teacher. Virgil is an effective teacher. Throughout the cantos Virgil is described as a wonderful guider who was very motivated to assist Dante. Virgil wanted Dante to learn about the nine circles of hell and the type of punishment being served to different souls. For example in Canto one Virgil mentions "Soul in fire and yet content in fire" (I.112). Additionally, Virgil has a non–philosophical educational approach since he does not ask Dante any question but only explains everything to him. For example, Virgil describes the characteristics of Beatrice fully stating "She tracks down all, kills all, and knows no glut" (I.92). Virgil is also a very consistent educator because when Dante "soul's ruin" he appears in order to provide hope to Dante. Furthermore, the core strength of Virgil styles of teaching is he explains all details in a comprehensive manner to Dante. Being great at discussion does not facilitate an effective method to teaching. As a philosopher Socrates would have been an ineffective teacher. Socrates' teaching are mostly involves through him questioning an individual. In the Euthyphro Socrates wanted to teach about the general meaning of piety he started philosophizing in the hope of finding an answer which did not happened. For instance Socrates questions Euthyphro about "what kind of thing do you say that godliness and ungodliness are, both as regards murder and other things;" (5). This action illustrates that as a teacher Socrates would only instruct by asking students question. In "The Inferno" when Dante lost hope after seeing the three beast he cried "Have pity on me" and Virgil told him to "follow me and I will be your guide" (canto1. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 18. Effective Communication Necessary for Effective Teaching Effective communication is an essential skill for teachers to possess. Their level of communication must be high in listening, verbal and in writing amongst students, parents, the school and even community. The superior level of communication through listening, explaining and providing feedback from the teacher to each student is crucial to ensure learning and future development. Listening to students to gain knowledge of their current progress and level of understanding is most essential for high quality learning and teaching because it allows the teacher to adapt their methods of communication so that students understand. Being able to explain tasks and present learning material to students in ways they will understand is also important for students to gain knowledge and encourage learning. An example of effectively explaining tasks to students is when it comes to homework as if the student does not completely understand the homework tasks they may struggle when trying to do the work from home with parents if the task is not clear and concise. Feedback both verbally and in writing, is imperative as it ensures that students are on track and find ways of improving with their studies in a positive way. Without this high degree of communication between teachers to students done by listening, explaining and offering feedback there is no guarantee that any learning can occur. Teachers need to be effective communicators when it comes to parents for mainly reporting on students' ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

This simple proverb from George Bernard Shaw's "Man and Superman" is often quoted in modern times, denigrating the hard work of teachers from preparatory grades right through to the highest academic institutions. While it is true that almost anyone can teach in the true definition of the word, being an effective teacher is a much harder proposition. A truly effective teacher has a wide pedagogical skill set, along with the knowledge of when to apply it, an awareness of their students in terms of their needs and abilities and an understanding of the curriculum and its aims. This essay will review some of the critical prerequisites of an effective teacher. Student ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... An effective teacher would be aware of any restrictions or special needs of their students to ensure that all students would be able to participate and gain knowledge from the lesson without feeling alienated. In this example having print–outs of the slides and a transcript of the video, which would ensure that the students would be able to have access to the knowledge and join in on follow up activities and discussions. The lesson plan attached in Appendix A shows a lesson that is designed in a way where all students can engage regardless of their backgrounds. Concerns specific to that lesson related to children not having regular access to gardens and outdoor areas, a common concern with many high density suburbs and high–rise apartment blocks.

Essay According to the School of HMSLS reappointment, tenure, and promotion policies for teaching effectiveness for assistant professors, it is my responsibility to demonstrate effective teaching and to show steady improvements in my teaching effectiveness. Teaching Philosophy My teaching philosophy focuses on offering students accurate, comprehensive, and intellectually challenging course learning environments by presenting the theories behind topics as well as research supporting or refuting contemporary practices. I feel my pedagogical approach encourages students to understand and to actively participate in the process of scientific discovery. Because athletic training is a clinically–oriented field, I teach the fundamental concepts and principles in a manner that encourages the students to develop critical thinking skills, know and participate in case–based learning, and perform well in clinical settings. As a result of these pedagogical practices, students can directly apply their basic and fundamental knowledge (e.g., theories of rehabilitation) and translate it into clinical practices (e.g., directing a rehabilitation plan for a patient). I believe my approach encourages them to be more engaged and to ask appropriate questions within their clinical settings. As future clinicians, students should be prepared to ask questions and converse about the topic at hand.

Education Evolved Having the largest frontal lobe of any animal, letting us process complex and abstract thoughts, we humans have a clear advantage when it comes to understanding our world (Lewis). It is a sad case when the human mind is not trained to make the most of it. Understanding our world is as fundamental to the human race as swimming is to fish. As John Dewey put it "...This process begins unconsciously almost at birth, and is continually shaping the individual 's powers, saturating his consciousness, forming his habits, training his ideas, and arousing his feelings and emotions". It does not matter if it takes place in a small tribe or on a national scale, we are always learning. The question is, are we teaching in an effective manner, and if not, how can we? Education has been with us since time immemorial. One definition of education according to Google Dictionary is "an enlightening experience" (Google Search). The thing about an enlightening experience is that no classroom is needed, anyone can have one at any time. The problem is that without any structured education, one individual might have such an enlightenment while another is left in the dark. A dissonance then arises between them. Such a simple thing as knowing and not knowing can lead to lower social status (Hickman) and lower quality jobs (Bernstein) among other discrepancies.

Alfie Kohn has taken a strong stand against grading. In his article "From Degrading to De–Grading", Kohn discusses three main effects of grading. Kohn writes that once a grade is attached to an assignment the perception of the student goes from learning/fun to grading/chore. He also feels that the more pressure to get an A, the less inclination for the student to accept challenges and the greater incentive to choose the easier assignment. Finally he believes that "the knowledge that a grade is attached to a learning assignment the quality of the student's thinking was degraded" (Kohn 238,239). Although I agree with Kohn's philosophy that there is a difference between "how motivated students are; to how students are motivated" (Kohn 241). A method for measuring how well the student is learning the subject is necessary. A student might love working with electronics, but the reality is the student may not be good enough to follow that career path.

It's been shown that teachers who have a large repertoire of effective instructional strategies teach differently (Tyson).They're more intentional in their objectives, strategies, and intended outcomes. And, have better results. Robert Marzano, an educational leader, conducted a meta–analysis of instructional strategies to determine which were the most effective. While Marzano's nine strategies provide useful suggestions for instruction, they are even more powerful when accompanied by other essential ingredients for student learning. Towards that end, all technology can be used to address Marzano's work. Each strategy can be addressed using a "tech tool," which can make a difference in the learning experience of students. Technology has so many uses, therefore, much of their usefulness overlaps in categories. Note taking, and the subsequent skill of summarizing, easily takes many forms in the classroom.

John Dewey (1916) stated that children must be engaged in an active quest for learning and new ideas. Inquiry is important in educating kindergarteners because it not only keeps them interested in lessons but also helps them retain more information when performing exploration and investigation. Children are naturally motivated to learn and actively seek out information to help their understanding (Piaget, 1950).The success of students who participate in hands– on inquiry activities suggests that if students have first hands experience with science, concepts are easier to understand and apply and students are generally more favorable to science and have better understanding of the nature of science .Within a conceptual framework, inquiry learning and active learner involvement can lead to important outcomes in the classroom.

The first teacher, who also happens to be my Subject Mentor, is a very experienced staff member, he has known the students since they started the school in Year 7, and hence he has a personal relationship with them. Because of this, he is able to joke around with them and therefore be slightly friendly. This works well in this particular situation, however, it does not mean it would work for every teacher. Secondly, the other staff member happens to be someone with a practical approach; she involves the students very much so in her lessons – but at the same time they are encouraged to work on independently too, as she has a slightly softer approach to teaching, hence the pupils behave differently. Lastly, the third staff member is Assistant Headteacher – he has a very informal way of teaching, to the point where he addresses the learners by their nicknames. Furthermore, he uses slang in his lessons for better understanding for the learners. Why teachers use different methods has a deep connection with how learners learn. How do learners learn?

Verbal communication can be separated into areas of explanation, asking questions and listening (Marsh, 2010) and effective teachers are those who create an environment in which all students can express their views and ask questions in an open and supportive environment. Explanations of information need to be presented to the class in a confident manner using clear, logical steps that are explained appropriately by using language that is understood. The use of questioning is essential to all parties within the classroom and is not only used as an assessment tool by the teacher and as a clarification from the student but as means of managing the classroom effectively.

A teacher who can create a loving, safe and peaceful school environment is also what distinguishes a good teacher from a great teacher.

SC2 Demonstrate an understanding of how students learn and effective classroom teaching strategies and the capacity to work with colleagues to continually improve teaching and learning. At Mill Park Secondary College (Senior Campus), I have the opportunity to work with a group of Year 10 students on their financial mathematics. The class is made up of 14 boys and 11 girls. And here is a glimpse of their background. This is a low SES co–ed school with an ICSEA value of 984 (My School, 2015a), which is below the national average value of 1000 (ACARA, n.d.). Their numeracy score is conclusively below the national average score of 580. Teaching mathematics to these can be challenging as they lack a proper foundation in numeracy. Some, who lack interests in mathematics, tend to be less cooperative and may endeavour to do as little as possible. However, research have shown that adolescent are most likely be engaged with a learning session if they can relate to the content; and more importantly, if they can perceive value in what they learn.

Feedback Is Essential For Effective Teaching Essay COMMIINICATION FEEDBACK To be sure that the message (knowledge of the subject) has reached the students (the receiver) with the same meaning, purpose and intention as was desired, the teacher has to get some acknowledgement from the students. Feedback is the process that ensures this. This can take the form of a mod, an acknowledgement, or doing something as expected by the students. Feedback provides a learning opportunity to the–teacher and the students both as it mirrors where the communication has gaps or inadequacies indicating the corrective action to be taken. In case of classroom teaching such feedback is essential for effective teaching. On the other hand if students act in conformity with the communicated items, they also need to know this from the teacher. This kind of feedback loop is the most essential principle of effective teaching. Positive and negative both kinds of feedback are necessary. They should, however be focused on specific action rather than on the individual student. Comments related to behavior are accepted more easily than those relating to an individual personality, attitudes, feelings etc. But it is necessary to tell the students where they are wrong. If they are not told this, the wrongs may perpetuate. Feedback, which is provided "Here and Now" is more meaningful than the delayed one.

Teaching And Teaching : Effective Pedagogy In order to discuss what I have learnt so far about effective pedagogy in science, the term pedagogy needs to be defined and the associated processes understood. The Oxford English Dictionary defines pedagogy as "The method and practice of teaching, especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept" (Oxford dictionary of English, 2010). I interpret this to mean that effective pedagogy is the teaching of an academic subject carried out in a way that is effective for the individual learner to understand and grasp the knowledge being taught. A review from New Zealand found it hard to determine what is effective pedagogy generally. It suggested that effective pedagogy is influenced by the particular curriculum, assessments, social and learning outcome and objectives (Jones & Baker, 2012). This suggests the teacher plays the major role in fashioning effective pedagogy given a certain environment and it is their duty to strive to maintain this (Carr et al., 2000). There are three main approaches to the processes of teaching; behaviourism, constructivism and social constructivism (Pollard et al., 2014). Behaviourism is a model by which the teacher is dominant and leads teaching by instructing the student while the student is passive in input (Pollard et al., 2014). This contrasts with constructivism and social constructivism, in which the student is actively engaged and learning is able to happen independent of teaching.

This section will provide a description and empirical evidence to support the following four sub–criterions: quality of questioning, expectation and support and opportunity for participation and meaning making, substance of student talk and finally, scaffolding tasks. Quality of Questioning The first component of the second criterion is quality of questioning (CEL 5D+, 2014). In order for teachers to become proficient in this area they must "frequently ask[s] questions to probe and deepen students' understanding" (CEL 5D+, 2014, p.3).

  • 66. The Effective Practice Of Teaching Researchers have dedicated countless hours of investigation to the complex activity of teaching. There is no shortage of opinion about what constitutes effective practices in education and how to improve this practice. Education reform has been a topic of political and public interest for many years, and given that students spend a great part of their day with teachers, teachers and their practice are often at the center of the debate. Teacher effectiveness is linked to positive student achievement (Nye, Konstantopoulos, & Hedges, 2004) in that the better equipped a teacher is to perform their job, one can expect better results in student learning. Proposals for improving teacher practice vary. These proposals range from restructuring ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A large body of research supports the connection between highly effective teachers and student success (Darling–Hammond, 2000; Darling–Hammond & Berry, 2006; Wenglinsky, 2000). Because the purpose of instructional coaching is to improve teacher practice, it makes sense to also expect an effect in student learning. However, while there is a wealth of research supporting the notion that coaching is an effective means to help teachers improve their practice, there hasn't been a great deal of research linking coaching to student achievement. In fact, according to Marsh, McCombs, and Martorell (2010)"the largest gap in the existing research on coaching programs is the lack of evidence of coaching programs' effects on student achievement" (p. 877). This literature review examines the theory and history behind the practice of instructional coaching and the research that supports its effectiveness in support of teacher practice. The chapter further identifies and describes the different approaches to coaching and the specific models and frameworks predominantly adopted districts across the United States.

According to Killen (2015), teaching skills is a crucial part of a qualified teaching. Various teaching strategies can assist differential students gaining a knowledge (Conklin, 2010). For example, using rules and routines can establish a particular learning environment (Harris, 2014). Moreover, Hansen and Moore (2011) claim that direct instruction can stimulate the interaction between teachers and students. Therefore, applying diverse pedagogical strategies into class can improve the effectiveness of teaching. In this essay, the focus will be on discussing three teaching skills which are rules and routines, explaining and questioning. In addition, there will also be a number of reflection of my practices in teaching. Rules and routines are primary part of a classroom teaching. According to Marzano, Marzano and Pickering (2003) and Konza (2001), setting rules and routines in classroom will enhance a better teacher–student relationship and lead into an effective teaching and learning without interruptions. Conversely, if there is no rules and routines, teaching and learning could not be process in such a chaotic classroom (Hansen & Moore, 2011). Here is a comparison of my two practices. When I had rules and routines in my first practice, the classroom environment is suitable for learning. However, the second practice I forgot setting rules and routines, as a result, students interrupted me by calling my name, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 70. My Teaching : Teaching, And More Effective Collaboration... Change is a part of life and I view myself as a life–long learner. I have frequently been called on to change. Once again new ideas are presented on being an effective teacher and I will discuss how my teaching will change as a result of this course. There are five areas of interest that I found will elevate my teaching skills. I will briefly describe them as structure, groupings, instructional strategies, the concept of linking assessment with teaching, and more effective collaboration with my peers. The concept of differentiated learning is appealing to me and while going through my internship, I experienced a differentiated kindergarten class. Children worked in different groupings at the same time as the teacher worked with small groups or individuals. The students were given and taught how to be responsible for their own learning at this young age. They worked on problem–solving skills and were guided to think critically about themselves and what was happening around them. It was delightful to be helping in this classroom. This experience coupled with this course, EDU 570, has given me much information to ponder with respect to how a differentiated music class would look like. I can see a performance based class, such as a grade three general music classroom, look like this: Some students would work on rhythmic games to develop basic rhythm reading, while others would already be composing with more complicated rhythms, and in addition, other individuals would be ...

  • 72. Teaching Education And Effective Practices The world of education today is ever changing. As teachers get into a routine of implementation of standards and programs, there becomes a major shift and many schools struggle to make that transition. However, throughout all of the mandates and political arguments over education, teachers are still expected to be effective. Teachers must shape the lives of each of their students and are increasingly held accountable for their efforts. With heavier mandates for teachers, their abilities may seem stifled as frustrations and tensions intensify. Therefore, there are several strategies one can use to maintain teacher effectiveness. Teacher Effectiveness Robert Marzano's What Works in Schools is a researched–based book that characterizes the trends in education and effective practices. There are three teacher–level factors that are common through most educational researchers. They are: Instructional strategies, classroom management, and classroom curriculum design (Marzano, 2003). Through these strategies, he poses several recommendations, or "Action Steps," which should be implemented in today's schools. Many of these strategies are used in schools. However, in reading and discussing Section II: Teacher–Level Factors of the text, one may evaluate current practices within the school to create a positive school culture. The first section to be discussed is the "Effective teacher versus ineffective teacher." With the push of teacher accountability in today's school, states are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Teaching is rewarding, yet challenging, and can be a difficult career choice to make as it requires countless skills, attributes and understandings (Groundswater–Smith, 2007). Teachers are responsible for accommodating to the varied strengths and weaknesses of each student and aiding them in reaching their full potential in a learning environment. Therefore, recognising factors that can assist in classroom behaviours and effective teaching are important. Killen (2007, p.) states 'there is no single teaching strategy that is effective for all educators' and this is partially due to the diversity of educators and students. ...

Withitness is the first principle in Kounins teacher management skills and is defined as the teachers' ability to appear as though they are aware of all activities in the classroom (Barry & King, 1998) and being able to communicate with the students effectively during tasks at all times. Managing thirty or more students in a class can be difficult, therefore, having the ability to appropriately act upon an arising situation without disrupting the class is vital (Marsh, 2004). Misbehaviour in a class is inevitable, however, addressing a student in a correct manner can allow for other students to be unaware of off–task situations. For example, if a teacher can sense a student is drifting off subject it is important to obtain eye contact with the distracted student or ask questions referring to the learning objective. This can allow for a classroom to run smoothly and create a positive learning environment for all students. Additionally, learning the names of all students in a class can allow for a teacher to address students and create a strong relationship. This allows teachers to communicate in a manner which students will respond to positively and students understand what is expected of them. The ability to apply withitness in a classroom requires a teacher to multitask which is reflected in Kounins overlappingness principle.

The government's expectation for teachers to achieve outstanding has been slowly increasing and has been placing educators under more stress for their pupils to succeed. The delivering of the curriculum should be the most important aspect of a child's school vocation as this provides them with the foundation of knowledge they will need to gain employment in the future. The expectation from the government on schools within the United Kingdom is to consistently be providing respectable exam results annually and this is how they are being judged by such departments as Ofsted. Should the teachers be continuing to stay within the guidelines of the curriculum? Or should more emphasis be put out there to question whither effective primary teaching is all about just delivering the curriculum to children or based on annual exam results that are collected each year to critic the educational setting. This essay will critically discuss what effective primary teaching is and cover if teaching and learning is really all about results rather than nurturing the child to be prepared for life. In educational and school settings the curriculum is constantly changing, as well as the different styles of teaching pedagogies that educators use on a daily basis to match the types of learning of each child within their classroom. Educators strive to bring out the best within their pupils and through using personalised learning this can be done efficiently supplying the child with the correct type ...

From serving as additional support for young people, to preparing students for state assessments, the effective teacher has many responsibilities. To become an effective teacher, one must demonstrate a variety of practices, and they must continue to increase their knowledge of the craft as they gain practical experience. To begin, teachers must be prepared to educate. A solid education in teaching practices, classroom management, and subject material is the foundation effective teachings. Of course, experience can increase teacher effectiveness, but first–year teachers can be effective in improving student learning, as well. Also, years of experience will do nothing to improve student learning if the teacher has not been experimenting with techniques and continually learning how to improve/polish their methods. Once employed, an effective teacher must contribute collaboratively to the development or revision of curriculum. While doing so, they should help determine the areas of need and the priority standards. Lessons concerning these priority standards must be aligned to state standards, and assessments (both pre– and post– assessments) must be created or revised. They must contribute to the development or revision of pacing guides in order to divide the skills into manageable segments of time during the unit/semester. Finally, effective teachers should work with colleagues to ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
