1. After watching the video- who should we address when teaching a class?
As teachers, we should address to each of our students as an individual who has his/ her own strengths and weaknesses. When we teach a class, we have to understand that there is no average student and thus, we have to teach by different teaching methods and materials in order to achieve better outcomes on the one hand and challenge our students on the other hand. Rose believes that teaching materials should be chosen for each student individually in order to nurture the potential of every signal individual.
2. Observation
Keren is an English teacher in elementary school. I observed her lesson about clothes in 4th grade. The main purpose of the lesson was to teach the students the following words: T-shirt, pants, skirt, dress, coat and scarf. …show more content…

Then, she wrote the date on the board and the topic of the lesson- clothes. Afterwards, she drew out the clothes and said them in English twice, after she said each word, she asked her students to repeat after her and wrote the words on the board and their meanings. Then, she did a short game to practice those words. She chose one volunteer every time, the student who volunteered asked to close his/ her eyes while Keren hid one of the items on the table. The student who volunteered asked to say which of the items was hidden by Keren. At the end of the lesson, Keren asked her students to copy the new words into their notebooks and gave them a worksheet in which they were asked to complete sentences according to the pictures in the worksheet. As a short summary of the lesson, Keren drew the items on the board and asked her students to say them in English. Then, she asked them to help her to spell the words and wrote them on the board

    “Educational practice is necessarily based on the assumption that students are willing to engage in educational activities that they will lend their cooperation and support to the process in their education. Students who do not offer such cooperation, who are unmotivated, present significant challenges” (Williams and Ivey, 2001, 75). High school school-children show the most trouble with cooperation and motivation; they only have a few more years of schooling and for some pupils that is the end of their education. That was one of the main reasons why I wanted to observe a high school classroom; the other main reason is because I have actually considered teaching high school grades. I observed Ms. Edith Stone and her Algebra II mathematics classroom.

  • To Kill A Mockingbird Education Analysis

    Some of the teachers’ methods do not involve working with the students to assist them in their education. Miss Gates, Scout’s teacher in elementary school, required that every student clip an item from the newspaper that had a current event on it. To Scout, “the idea was profound, but as usual, in Maycomb it didn’t work very well” (Lee 207). Not every child in Maycomb had access to newspapers, so they had to use the Grit paper. Miss Gates always frowned upon the Grit paper and did not approve of it. Teachers never got the idea that not every child had access to the materials needed for class. Lee believes it is important for a teacher to help a child with their weaknesses so they can

    When thinking about the nature of students, I think about how the students behave. I believe that the behavior of students as a group reflects eclecticism meaning that every child behaves differently although every behavior can be integrated. While doing my observation in a second grade classroom, I have met students that are extremely social and active as well as students who are rather quiet and reserved. Usually when an extremely social child is seated with a quiet child, the quiet child will not say much so the extremely social child will not have anyone to talk to. Sometimes though when the extremely social and active child lines up near the quiet children the noise will start. There will either be a lot of talking or an argument will start. I think that children behave in an eclecticism manner as individuals as well. What I mean by this is that children behave differently according to the situation that they are in. For example, a child who is quiet in class may be rather noisy in the lunchroom or on the playground. They may feel that they are in a controlled environment when they are in the classroom, but feel that they have more freedom to talk with their peers when the teacher doesn’t have all of her attention on one class but on other children from other classes as well.

  • My Reflection Of Youth's Approach To Religious Education

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    The nature of teacher and learner interactions of this approach stems from the foundation that every person teaches one another and that everything in life teaches. The formal teacher of the educational event is the facilitator of knowledge and conversation, yet is not the only authority on the topic. Everyone carries knowledge and can learn from one another through sharing authority. As Halverson states, “teachers dealing with youth and adults need to be clarifiers of the faith, lifting up dilemmas, encouraging thought, and being open to many viewpoints” (31). Rather than having a hierarchical and set method of teaching, this approach to conveying a message opens conversation and allows people to feel validated and supported. The learner is more important than the content.

    Posing questions on materials covered and the quality of materials selected can create the desired environment for students to thrive. I want to inspire my students to think outside the box and to ask questions. Society needs thinkers not robots. The classroom plays an important part in aiding the growth of an individual. It is my duty as a teacher to impart knowledge because ideas have a way of changing lives. Examining and discussing ideas with students allows them to move to a new level of understanding, so that ultimately, they may be transformed.

  • Teaching: A Commitment to Lifelong Learning

    548 Words  | 2 Pages

    Education is an ever-changing part of society. A classroom teacher is faced with new challenges and obstacles that have never been dealt with before. Students come to the classroom with different life stories. Every student has strengths and weaknesses that surface in the classroom environment. Teachers must understand and focus on utilizing each student's strengths and work to improve weaknesses. Students learn in a variety of ways. The classroom must be a safe zone that appreciates student's viewpoints and allows room for mistakes. When topics in the classroom are related to "real-life" experiences, the information is more likely to be retained. Students learn from one another. The ideas and perspectives that each student brings to the classroom can bring insight into what is being learned. Students have to be allowed to explore new ideas, try them to see if they work, and sometimes fail. When students are encouraged to explore, they begin the process of becoming lifelong learners.

    The students that I observed in the classroom were of middle to high school. I went to see 8th, freshman, 10th , and seniors classes, they seemed excited and very curious to why I was there. The middle school was more alive and rambunctious while I observed them. The High school kids were more relaxed, more comical. Some were paying attention while others seemed tuned out to the lecture or involved in socialization with friends within the class. By the end of the class Mr. Hasgil had restored the attention of everyone by using tactics such as history jeopardy with candy as the prize with the high school kids. In both he middle school and high school the kids were mostly Caucasian with a mixture of black, Asian , and Hispanic in the classes.
