Supervised study involves individual or small group instruction led by a teacher to help students learn course material and study skills. It can take various forms, such as a teacher staying after class to help students or employing special teachers to work with students. Organizing periods to split time between theoretical lessons and practical work or assigning students tasks to complete during library periods are other methods. Supervised study aims to address the needs of heterogeneous classrooms and help weaker students by bringing students closer to teachers and the learning process.
Assignments play a major role in the teaching and learning process as supplemental work for students to do independently outside of the classroom. Effective assignments motivate students, clear up misunderstandings, and develop insight on topics covered in class. When preparing assignments, teachers should make sure tasks are clear, concise, and correlate with students' previous knowledge and interests. Assignments work best when planned cooperatively between teachers and students, and on a weekly basis rather than daily or monthly. Different types of assignments include preparatory, study, revision, and remedial work.
The document discusses various educational methods including direct instruction/lecture, supervised study, small group discussion, role play, games, and field trips/use of resource persons. It provides details on when and how to use each method, as well as tips for planning and conducting activities using these techniques. For many of the methods, planning objectives, instruction, and facilitating discussion are emphasized as important teacher roles.
The document discusses lesson planning and its importance for effective teaching. It defines lesson planning as outlining key points of a lesson in the order they will be presented. Good lesson planning ensures the teacher knows what and how to teach, has clear lesson aims, and how to evaluate outcomes. It provides structure and organization. Lesson planning benefits include maintaining student interest, giving teachers confidence, and saving time. Common steps in lesson planning include preparation, presentation, comparison/association, generalization, application, and recapitulation.
The document discusses the importance of recitation and questioning in effective classroom teaching. It states that teachers must plan recitations, including framing questions to use. Recitations can only achieve their purposes if conducted in a democratic and tolerant atmosphere that respects different opinions. Teachers should develop students' ability to consider other perspectives, accept new ideas, and evaluate their own learning.

Micro teaching involves student teachers practicing specific teaching skills with small groups of students over short lessons. Some key points:
- It focuses on one teaching skill at a time, with small class sizes of 5-10 students for 5-10 minute lessons.
- Immediate feedback is provided to help teachers refine their skills. Lessons can be replanned and retaught.
- Common skills practiced include introducing lessons, questioning techniques, explaining concepts, and using aids like the blackboard.
- The process involves teaching, recording, reviewing, refining, and replanning lessons to progressively improve instructional skills.
The document describes three types of lessons: development lessons, review lessons, and drill lessons. Development lessons introduce new material through structured steps. Review lessons revisit past material to reinforce learning. Drill lessons focus on repetition to automate skills and facts. Each type of lesson has distinct purposes, techniques, advantages and disadvantages for supporting student learning.
The document discusses different levels of teaching - memory, understanding, and reflective.
At the memory level, teaching focuses on rote learning of facts through repetition. Herbart's model of this level involves steps like preparation, presentation, comparison, and application.
The understanding level aims to help students comprehend principles and think intellectually. Morrison's model includes exploration, presentation, assimilation, organization, and recitation.
The reflective level centers around problem-solving and developing independent thinking. Hunt's model has students formulate hypotheses to solve problems presented by the teacher, through collecting data and testing their ideas. Evaluation focuses on attitudes, beliefs, and competencies rather than objective tests.
The Herbartian approach outlines six steps for effective lesson planning: 1) Preparation where the teacher prepares students for new knowledge through questions or activities related to prior learning; 2) Presentation where new ideas and knowledge are introduced through active participation; 3) Comparison and association where students link new knowledge to existing understanding through examples and experiences; 4) Generalization where ideas are abstracted into principles or definitions; 5) Application where students practice using new knowledge in new situations; and 6) Recapitulation where the teacher reviews and the students' understanding through questions. These steps are based on Herbart's theory that the mind assimilates new knowledge by linking it to prior experiences.

The key steps of demonstration method include planning, introducing the lesson, presenting the content, performing the demonstration, using teaching aids, and evaluating.
The direct instruction/lecture method is aimed at helping students acquire procedural knowledge or skills needed to perform tasks. It involves the teacher demonstrating skills, providing guided practice, checking for understanding, and assessing learning. Key characteristics include the teacher directing the lesson in a step-by-step fashion to ensure all procedures are learned correctly. Objectives focus on observable behaviors that can be accurately measured. Guidelines for effective use include providing ample practice time, involving students in planning, and dividing complex skills into simpler steps.
Lecture method is an older teaching strategy where the teacher actively presents content to passive students. It can be used to achieve cognitive objectives and teach large amounts of content efficiently. However, it does not allow for student participation or abilities and is better for higher-level classes than elementary levels. The teacher must have mastery over the content for effective use of this strategy.

It then discusses the importance of having clear objectives, outcomes, teaching methods, and ways to check for student understanding. The document further defines a lesson plan as a plan of action that incorporates the teacher's philosophy, knowledge of students and subject matter, and ability to utilize effective teaching methods. It notes that lesson plans help teachers decide what, why, when and how to teach, and that they are needed to ensure definite objectives and outcomes, effective teaching, and review of up-to-date subject knowledge.
This document discusses the importance of catering to gifted and talented (G&T) students through a total philosophy of teaching and learning. The author argues that focusing instruction around the needs of the most able students benefits all students. Some key aspects of a G&T-driven approach include embracing the full complexity of subjects, open-ended tasks with no limits, problem-solving, creativity, and cultivating independence. The goal is to provide intellectual challenge and remove barriers to learning for high-ability students, which raises standards and aspirations for all.
The document provides 10 ways that educators can make classrooms more innovative. They are: 1) have a growth mindset, 2) practice self-reflection, 3) ask open-ended questions, 4) create flexible learning spaces, 5) account for different learning styles, 6) use problem-finding, 7) allow students to fail and try again, 8) consider a flipped classroom model, 9) invite entrepreneurs into the classroom, and 10) use design thinking processes. The overall message is that innovative classrooms require teachers to shift away from traditional lecturing and toward student-centered approaches that encourage creativity, collaboration, real-world problem solving and flexibility.

Discussion 1An important step in preparing our classrooms and cu.docxelinoraudley582231
Discussion 1
An important step in preparing our classrooms and curriculum is getting to know our students as individuals and building a relationship that is reciprocal and characterized by trust. Jaruszewicz (2013) discusses the importance of building individual connections, stating that
Building trust requires connecting with each child on a personal level, so that they know you care about them and what happens to them, are curious about what they think, and firm with them when they need guidance. These things give children the emotional security they need to share with you their impressions, confidences, questions, and fears—information you can use to develop, adapt, and personalize whatever curriculum you use to best represent what your children know and do. (Jaruszewicz, 2013, section 3.3, para. 32)
Notice how Jaruszewicz emphasizes that knowing the students as individuals allows for designing individualized curriculum which is more aligned with their needs. In this discussion, we explore the importance of building trust with students to gain insights into how to best meet their needs in an education environment.
Initial Post: After reading Chapter 3 of your text, the Tips for Developing Positive Teacher Student Relationships article, and the Reciprocal Relationships article
· Discuss one or more strategies you will use to gather information on your students in an effort to get to know them and their family (interest inventory, home visit, etc.). Include the benefits of the strategy and use a specific example of how you plan to implement it in your classroom.
· Reflect on the reading, “Tips for Developing Positive Teacher Student Relationships.” Discuss two approaches you will use to build trust with each of your students and why you believe these approaches will be effective.
· Reflect on the reading, “Reciprocal Relationships.” Discuss two approaches you will use to build trust with families and why you believe these approaches will be effective.
· Discuss one or more strategies you can use to prepare your classroom to represent the students, such as through a family bulletin board or a community college. Support your strategies with the text and at least one scholarly resource.
The best teachers are capable of maximizing the learning potential of every student in their class. They understand that the key to unlocking student potential is by developing positive, respectful relationships with their students beginning on the first day of the school year. Building a trusting relationship with your students can be both challenging and time consuming. Great teachers become masters at it in time. They will tell you that developing solid relationships with your students is paramount in fostering academic success.
It is essential that you earn your students’ trust early on in the year. A trusting classroom with mutual respect is a thriving classroom complete with active, engaging learning opportunities. Some teachers are more natural at.
The document discusses insights gained about information literacy. It summarizes how information literacy is changing views on learning, teachers, students, and assessment in education. Specifically, it notes that learning is now seen as a process rather than product. Students are viewed as information seekers and teachers must prepare students to learn how to learn. Authentic assessments that measure application of skills and knowledge are emphasized over traditional testing. Overall, the document argues that integrating information literacy skills across all subjects from an early age is important for producing lifelong learners.

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 ...
This document discusses flipping the classroom using Libguides. It begins by noting that traditional lecture-based teaching does not develop critical thinking skills in students. The document then discusses how adults and children learn differently, with adults being self-directed learners who draw on experience. Principles of adult learning are outlined, emphasizing hands-on learning and reflection. The document describes implementing a flipped classroom model using Libguides to develop students' skills in finding and evaluating peer-reviewed literature outside of class, allowing more class time for discussion and activities to enhance critical thinking. Libguides are praised for providing instruction and curated resources to support student learning before, during, and after class.
The document discusses andragogy, the method and practice of teaching adult learners. It defines andragogy as the process of helping adults learn, and outlines some key differences between andragogy and pedagogy. Some of the main principles of andragogy discussed include that adult learners need to understand why something is important to learn, have freedom to direct their own learning, and learn best through experience. The document also provides tips for instructors on understanding andragogy, planning lessons, managing the classroom, inspiring students, and continuing self-improvement when teaching adult learners.
In our time, the image of the teacher has become so thoroughly the product of a professionalized, highly result oriented, institutionalized context that is increasingly difficult to imagine radically different alternatives of what a teacher might be.
How tutoring helps [benefits of tutoring]ChloeDaniel2
Tutoring is an excellent way for children to learn and improve. Some parents may feel unable to help their child with schoolwork, but tutors can provide the assistance needed. Tutors have a lot of experience teaching different skills that they will teach your child on top of what they are learning at home or school.
The author learned the importance of truly knowing their students in order to teach them effectively. They realized they needed to understand where students are academically, how they learn best, and what motivates them. The author improved their practice by differentiating instruction, asking open-ended questions, and circulating to check in with students. Going forward, the author wants to thoughtfully incorporate technology in ways that enhance their core teaching beliefs. The author is striving to teach in an authentic way that reflects who they are and their focus on student learning and struggle.
This document discusses adult learning principles and how they differ from pedagogy, which focuses on teaching children. It defines andragogy as the method of teaching adult learners, which focuses on self-directed learning, experience, readiness to learn, problem-centered orientation, and motivation to learn. The key differences between andragogy and pedagogy are discussed. Malcolm Knowles is identified as developing the concept of andragogy. Effective ways to apply adult learning principles in training include relating content to real-life tasks, building on learner experience, and treating learners with respect.
The document discusses the principles and techniques of constructive or positive discipline in classrooms. It defines constructive discipline as rewarding positive behavior rather than punishing negative behavior. The principles of constructive discipline include taking a holistic, strengths-based, positive, inclusive, proactive, and participatory approach. Specific techniques described include using rewards, giving choices, modeling good behavior, positive communication, and maintaining order through respect rather than fear or punishment. The document questions old assumptions that punishment is necessary for control or that children need to be controlled rather than engaged as active learners. It emphasizes long-term goals of student well-being and development over short-term reactions to misbehavior.

1. 4 key principles of
effective teaching
Expected Reading Time: 3 mins
2. The secrets of effective teaching cannot be written as a set of universal
tools that can be applied by anyone. If this was the case then anyone
could stand up in the classroom, apply the same skills, and get the same
results. As with all things that require a degree of talent, there is an X
factor when it comes to effective teaching. Can these underlying skills,
methods, and strategies be taught to all? Well, the principles can – but the
time and effort needed to perfect them will require more work for some
than others.
3. • The most effective teaching is done by those with that certain
something about their personality. If you put all the outstanding
practitioners together in a room you would find common traits:
passion, intellect, care, and energy. They just have something – a desire
to learn themselves maybe; a desire to get to know each and every
student by name; a desire to stand above the cynicism and grind that
can impact on so many teachers' lives.
A cult of personality
4. Gaining knowledge whilst feeling known
• It is a hard fact that 20-minute drop in sessions by inspectors often fail to identify the best
teachers. The most effective teaching methods are about relationship building and trust. The
student should believe that the teacher knows the subject and trusts that they can guide them
beyond the highest standards asked of them.
But it is more than this.
• The students trust that teachers want what is best for them. This is easy enough to achieve, as
children are just young versions of ourselves. Our students desire to be known and to be cared
for. Knowing their name is obviously important – this is no surprise. But, learning something
about them that makes them individual is crucial. For instance, a young girl who is quiet and
does not like to be noticed is an amazing cook and often delivers the family roast on a Sunday –
imagine, as she enters your room on Monday morning, if you ask her what joint of meat she
chose this week and how did the roast potatoes taste? She walks past you into the room feeling
like she belongs. You have made her feel welcome.
5. The ability to adapt
• Some of the best teachers in the world know when things are going wrong in their classroom before
it has the chance to impact on student learning. Changes may need to happen mid-lesson, and this is
absolutely fine. It is about being tuned in to the feeling emanating from the children.
• There are no magic wand effective teaching practices. There are the practices that are effective at a
given moment – within a group. For instance, there was an incredibly popular Physics teacher, who
got amazing results with an unlikely group of young men – who tended to fall behind everywhere
else. He lectured them every day in lessons and taught them how to make notes. He used the same
lesson format, the same procedures and expected the same results every time. The results he was after
was excellence in the quiz at the start of the next lesson. Chalk and talk and test it was called – and it
worked miracles. Why? Because he saw that this group of lads wanted to be treated as adults – and he
treated them like university students. He saw that they feared constant change and revelled in
predictability – there was no challenge to their sense of self to fight against, so they trusted the figure
who realised what they really needed. When he had their trust, he built in some experiments. If this
got too much for them, he fell back to old routines – such was the teacher’s instinct for knowing what
was in their students' best interests.
6. Make them think
• The biggest difference between effective teaching and just keeping children busy is the
ability to make them think. A large chunk of teaching does not always equate to
learning normally because the student is just doing and completing and not thinking
and developing. The most important principal of effective teaching is showing the
students how you became such an effective learner in your subject. How does your
brain work when it is approaching these ideas and topics? What thought processes do
you go through to ensure you understand and can demonstrate such knowledge?
• The X factor of the outstanding teacher can be developed. However, it is about the
intelligence behind the approach and the relationships built with your students – not a
series of effective teaching tools that magically gives them the talent they need to
excel.
