I think that centers are the best teaching technique to teach a lesson or skill to any students of any age of any grade. As for me being an Early Childhood Education major, my students will be these naturally excited students willing to learn. Most young children want to help and be interactive and learning centers allow these type of students to do just that. With learning centers, the centers allow these students to be able to ask questions, experiment, and grow from being in a group. These students are allowed to see other student’s point of view and learn from other perspectives. These students learn from not only their peers, but from us as teachers since we are the standbys just guiding them through the process. Centers force these students to be interactive and face what they within these centers and give them a real experience. Centers allow the time frame to be endless and completely hands on. I know for my classroom I will use these centers to allow my students to learn a subject and have multiple activities for my students to learn. I believe when the students are able to be active and engage themselves within an activity, it allows them to learn and attain more material. Especially for young children that I plan to teach, their learning style is through simple experience and self-exploration. For instance, if I was teaching a math lesson on counting and units, I could use unit blocks. This will also teach them basic calculations and combinations. Not only will my students be able to learn a lesson through the centers, they will also learn other skills that are not necessarily taught by a standard. They can learn how to be a leader, cooperation with others, sharing ideas and seeing other point of views, time managemen...

...ing a science class and had a lab, I would enforce safety precautions such as wearing goggles, proper shoes, and gloves. I would incorporate collaborative working within my classroom because I am a teacher who believes strongly in working together and working in groups. I believe this allows students to learn what it means to be a part of a team and they will need this skill for everyday life and jobs for the future. I also believe in challenging in my students within the classroom. If I only allow my students to learn basics and not stimulating their minds, they will not learn as much as they could. I believe that a classroom environment should be challenging as well because some students get bored quickly and need some challenges to have a will to learn. With using all these components it will allow every students needs to be met and their learning abilities.

I listen to my students. I allow time for their individual impute in what they are learning, and adjust accordingly. I really believe that is why students can be so into the idea of being taught, because they are all encouraged to lead the discussion and projects before them as it relates to the curriculum. I try to learn from my students by listening to their interpretation. I am learning what interest them, and feed off of it in the work that needs to be performed. Work towards a positive social society, with this education does takes place for our students, teachers, and community, all for a better future, one that is full of knowledge and acceptance. What could be any
...to teach my students the concept of self-discipline so that eventually they will learn how discipline themselves as they continue to grow older. As these students progress onto high school, college, and eventually a career they need to have an understanding of how to discipline themselves and that it is an important step of growing up and moving out into the real world. When I do become a middle level educator in the future, I want to be able to have some freedom to choose my own classroom management practices while also incorporating the school-adopted classroom management programs practices as well. But if I did not have a choice, I would still feel comfortable with adhering to the tenets of a school-adopted classroom management program because I will know exactly what the school expects and wants me to do to be able to have an effective classroom management plan.
I want the nature of the students to be relaxed, and energetic. I want the children to be curious and involved in every aspect of the learning process. I hope that the students will learn through hands on activities, as well as group and visual lessons. The students in my class should feel that the classroom...
When working in groups, it helps students be more tolerable of different ideas and teaches them how to approach and solve problems in a variety of ways. When coming into my future classroom, there will be students working with technology, arts, reading, and writing. All students learn in different ways; therefore, a lesson can be taught using different techniques. For example, if a teacher is teaching photosynthesis, those working with art could draw or create a flower and write down the process of photosynthesis, those working with technology could make a video or PowerPoint showing the process, and those who enjoy reading and writing could write a paper explaining the process of photosynthesis. Field trips will also be incorporated into my future classroom. Taking the class on educational field trips can help them gain real-world experiences. For example, taking them to a mock trial lets them experience the process and setting of a trial. Bringing important and successful people in the class to talk to them could also give them an idea of how and what people in different careers do, which will help them in the future decide what they plan to major in, therefore considering students’ ideas, comments, and interests can and will lead teachers to create an intelligent, critical thinking, experienced, skillful, and understanding
My classroom would be run with the attitude of the students in mind. First of all, the main emphasis of class would be learning science, not good behavior. I guess I would take a non-authoritarian view of discipline. By high school, the students know how to behave and constantly pointing out the right way to behave is only going to make them do the opposite for attention. The only time a student would be punished is if their actions are taking away from the learning process. At this point in my education, I would probably say I would let the principle deal with the discipline considering only severe cases would need punishment. This, as with many of my views, may change with increased education and experience.
Prior to conducting the Curriculum Based Measurement test on my tutee, I asked her how she felt she did in school and did some prior activities to see where I felt I needed to test her at. The student knew that she had trouble in mathematics and when I did some activities with her to assess her level, she seemed to still have trouble with division, some subtraction, and some multiplication. That being said, she excelled at addition, most multiplication, and was a verily quick worker. Due to her what I had perceived her level to be, I tested her with the 3rd grade CBM test rather than the 4th grade. My tutee’s median of digits correct was 41 and her median of problems correct was 23. She got 100% of the addition correct, but lacked in division, subtraction, and multiplication. During normal circumstances, most people would boost my student’s testing to the 4th grade level and I do believe that she is smart enough to complete a 4th grade
With all the different theorist together I believe my classroom can be a safe and productive learning environment for my students. I believe that with a student center, cooperative learning environment my students will thrive and do well. I also believe that with the rules, rewards, and consequences I have established, my students will know what I expect of them and there will be very few behavioral issues.
First, understanding that children may have a preferred learning style, she incorporates into her lesson plans the strategies which address visual learners, kinesthetic learners, and audio learners. Most children do not have just one learning style, therefore, they benefit through different learning centers. Learning centers include the science center, the math center, the art center, the library, the writing center, and the dramatic play center. Next, she uses teacher centered strategies to lead many of her lesson plans so that she can guide and coach the children through the activities. Since the children are very young, she feels modeling and coaching the children are the most productive techniques. She does try to create lesson plans that vary in complexity and challenge the children based on their own ability
As a teacher, I would strive for a classroom that would be conducive to learning. I feel that linear seating allows for more structure in the classroom. However, interest should be stimulated by the display of attractive bulletin boards that are pertinent to the material being taught. The use of supplemental materials such as videos and computers are a must in educational programs. In today`s society everything moves rather quickly and the future generations must be able to keep pace. The world is at our fingertips through these devices. I would also assign projects to reinforce learning. This, of course, would depend on the ability of the groups being taught.
I believe it is equally important to have a classroom that is student-centered. I do not imagine my classroom arranged with rows of seated desks all facing the front of the classroom. Instead, I think that students should have the opportunity to work amongst their peers in small groups, studying a wide array of topics. Students will not be required to focus their attention on on...
I try imparting into them the importance of an education and how they contribute to the growth of our society. In my classroom, I am in control. I draw a clear line between what and how much my students are allowed to do in the classroom. In the first week of school, I establish my authority and I clearly and explicitly express my classroom and outside the classroom procedures that will be followed and the rights that every student has in the classroom. Some examples, all students have the right to learn, all students have a right to be heard, and all students have a right to be respected. There are consequences for those that chose not to abide. This set the tone for my classroom environment for the entire year so, that learning may take
As stated earlier, I believe Classroom Management is the key to how learning can take place and students can feel safe participating. I hope to create an environment that is conducive to learning and involves all my students. I believe the most important part of classroom management is not the behavior problems but creating a good rapport with the students, encouraging them to succeed and setting high expectations for them. As well as using an engaging a curriculum, I believe you can create this environment and it will limit the behavior problems in your classroom from the
My teaching philosophy has been strongly influenced by my field experience in the primary grades. It may be necessary to adjust some of these beliefs to fit the needs of the classroom in certain situations, especially if I were teaching one of the intermediate grades. There are five general philosophies that I believe are essential in creating an effective learning environment as an educator: setting clear expectations for students and creating a respectful environment, acting as a facilitator in the classroom, creating relationships with students and their caregivers, and using positive reinforcement. Though there are a plethora of responsibilities that educators have in the classroom, I believe that these five are the most imperative to being successful in teaching in an elementary classroom.
Designing curriculum, instruction, and assessments are steps teachers use to help them make sense of the concepts they teach and helps drive instruction. These steps can take on many different forms and drive a classroom in a plethora of ways. These steps, when developed properly, can help a teacher utilize each moment in the classroom and help students gain more insight to the standards they need to become proficient.
When it comes to implementing a curriculum everyone has an opinion. Whether it is the organization of the curriculum or the evaluation of the curriculum, everyone from administers, teachers, and parents will have their opinions on the new curriculum. The curriculum development group has many difficult decisions to make. They have to decide when and how to implement, who will be in charge, what data will be collected, and how will the curriculum be evaluated.
