Make Learning Fun
The document discusses principles for making learning fun and engaging for children. It emphasizes that teachers should inspire students with a desire to learn by making the learning process enjoyable and stimulating their curiosity. To fully engage children, teachers must put effort into continually developing new and interactive ways of teaching, and teach with enthusiasm, animation, and excitement to stir the children's interest and motivation. The general principles advise starting from concrete, hands-on experiences before abstract concepts, and motivating children to learn by connecting it to their interests and making it a positive experience.

- Objectives were originally used in WWII to make teaching more efficient and were later applied to public schools in the 1960s.
- Objectives should describe what the learner is expected to achieve and can be measured by behaviors like listing, naming or explaining.
- Effective lesson planning is important as it forces teachers to consider what and how they will teach, and helps structure lessons for both teachers and students.
Supporting PP
Schools have reduced variance for disadvantaged students in several ways:
1. Providing individual and small group tuition in core subjects, extending the school day, and supporting attendance and enrichment activities.
2. Implementing vertical tutoring and regular progress checks to identify students needing extra support.
3. Deploying teaching assistants and reducing class sizes to enable 1:1 intervention.
4. Consulting students, staff, and parents to understand obstacles and tailor support for different year groups.
5. Appointing support staff to address social, emotional, and non-academic barriers to learning.
6. Holding frequent progress discussions to monitor impact and adjust support in real-time.

Demonstrations homework
Homework has been shown to improve student GPA. It serves four main functions: 1) pre-learning to introduce topics, 2) checking understanding, 3) practice of skills, and 4) processing concepts. For homework to be effective, it should be differentiated, involve minimal parental involvement, include feedback but not grading, follow an established policy, and have homework support programs. Homework time should be designated and parents should facilitate homework without doing it for students.

Rethinking Time in the Middle School Classroom
This document discusses rethinking classroom time allocation to incorporate more student talk. It recommends using a workshop model with mini-lessons, independent work time, and reflection. During independent work, students can talk in small groups or literature circles. Formative assessments like conferring provide feedback. Rituals and routines are needed to support student voice and choice within this structure. Providing time for student collaboration and conversation promotes deeper learning and retention compared to direct instruction alone.
Lessons Designed For Boys
The document discusses lessons designed to better engage boys in learning. It notes that boys often struggle with focus, self-esteem, and understanding expectations. Lessons should develop literacy and numeracy, relate to life experiences, use interactive techniques, and provide structure and feedback.

THIS IS MY LAST CHANCE HELP
Understandably, before teachers begin teaching their first large class, they tend to think about the challenges inside the classroom. However, after a few days, it becomes clear that responsibilities outside class are equally challenging.
Welcome to this module on
teaching large classes.
Teaching large volumes of students at any one time is always a challenge, and so it is particularly important for the teacher to be well prepared. This module can help you overcome the difficulties generated from a large class, but it will also help you make the most of the benefits that it can provide.
In this module, you will find out:
a variety of methods and techniques to help you teach a large class of students to communicate in English
how to manage your time outside class
ways to manage a large group of students
how to keep your students participating and motivated
how to cater for students with different proficiency levels
how to arrange students
how to promote learner independence
how to organise feedback
how to monitor and assess student performance in a large class
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY LARGE CLASS
When we say 'large' we generally mean a class of 30-60 students, in some instances up to 100. The educational system of some countries precludes the formation of language groups that are so large, however in other countries, for instance India, China or South Korea, such classes are quite common.
School administrations may choose to split students into smaller groups for the following reasons:
Overpopulation and a lack of teachers.
The traditional belief that still prevails in some parts of the world where the aim of a language course is to prepare students for an examination (usually a formal, written, grammar-based one) rather than teach them to communicate in English. A lesson is therefore viewed as a lecture where a certain amount of knowledge is to be passed on to the students.
Depending on room size it would be difficult to divide the class but definitely possible.
Assess competency and delegate stronger class members to lead smaller groups within class room.
Delegate 4 class members if your class is 60 and instruct them each to distribute and collate homework.
Failing to prepare before entering the class means the class is doomed to fail
Rising to the challenge stimulates professional gro.

The document continues by discussing the importance of time management and asking students to consider how many hours they will work, how many classes they will take, and how much time they will study. It provides charts to help students plan their schedules and suggests they take fewer credits if working more hours. The document emphasizes setting goals, using schedules, maximizing out-of-class learning, and saying no
Advice for new teachers
The document provides advice for new teachers from experienced educators. Some key pieces of advice include: build positive relationships with students, parents, and colleagues; establish clear routines and classroom management from day one; ask for help from other teachers and staff; take care of yourself by maintaining a work-life balance and not taking work home; and remain organized, consistent, and flexible in your planning and teaching.

CHAPTER 7
Developing a Philosophy of Teaching and Learning
Teacher Interview: Heather Cyra
Heather Cyra has been a teacher at Guild Gray Elementary School for four years. Approximately 600 students attend kindergarten through fifth grade at Guild Gray. The school is located between an older, well-established neighborhood and low-rent apartment complexes. Student enrollment fluctuates at the school, and teachers may be asked to change grade levels when populations at specific grade levels decrease or increase. Ms. Cyra began teaching first grade but after one year she was moved to fifth grade. For as long as she remembers, she wanted to be a teacher. She knew that there would be challenges and rewards in teaching, but teachers make a difference in the world. She wanted to be creative and use the natural skills she possesses for helping people learn.
What do you see when you see excellence in teaching?
I see someone who is organized and has created an enjoyable, engaging environment—teachers who keep the students engaged in learning and also help everyone learn. I see excellence in teaching when I see teachers who have “fun” with their students; teachers who listen to their students and keep the students from being bored. Excellence in teaching is also surprising the students with unexpected activities, rewards, or information.
How do you know when your students are learning?
There are many ways to know that students are learning. You can often tell just by the looks on their faces that show whether they are confused or enlightened. You can tell by verbal cues from how the students respond to the questions you ask or how they contribute to class discussions. You can tell from a written assessment or merely a show of hands. If they are not responding the way I expect them to then I realize I have to reteach a concept or go back over something that may not have been explained in a way that they can understand. If you are tuned in to your students it is quite easy to tell when students have checked out by the way they look at you or don’t and by the responses they give you.
What brings you joy in teaching?
When I see how far the students I started out with grow in a year. By keeping track of their stages of development, I can see how much they have learned and how their attitudes and behavior have developed. When my students tell me at the end of the year that they don’t want to leave, I know that I have created a warm, nurturing environment. I feel like I am doing something right. It’s not entirely about what the tests say. As long as they’re learning, showing growth, and enjoying themselves in school and have enjoyed their fifth-grade experience I am happy and feel like I have done my job.
How did you develop a personal philosophy of teaching?
I constructed my philosophy one course at a time through integration of the most prominent and influential pieces of knowledge from each professor and textbook. During the course in special education my ...
Action research
This document discusses classroom action research as a method for teachers to improve their practice. It begins by explaining that classroom action research involves teachers identifying an area for improvement, collecting data on the issue, analyzing the results, and making changes to address the issue. The document then provides details on how to conduct classroom action research, including choosing a topic, developing research questions, collecting and analyzing data, and sharing results. It also shares an example of one teacher's action research on improving classroom discipline. The teacher observed issues with discipline across classrooms, developed strategies to address it, provided counseling to disruptive students, and found that student participation and behavior improved as a result of these actions.
SCEL poster (1)
Kenny Pieper, an English teacher, conducted research on using shorter, focused homework tasks. He adapted existing classwork into weekly homework exercises for his S2 English class over two months. Completion rates increased from slowly to unusually low numbers not completing it. Reading scores also improved, with many achieving Level 4. The implications are that focused, timely homework can improve learning and attitudes if tied closely to classroom content.
