“She disappointed us by giving us an ordinary lesson…,” he generalized (p. 46 l. 137-138). Clearly Tommy does not like everyday teaching again. So when Miss…
What student actions and answers indicate to Linda that this teaching and learning experience is not successful?…
Therefore, the teacher should be clear with her direction and the way it is being taught. The teacher should have a clear and calm voice, use words that the students would be able to understand and be able to make it interesting in the way it is delivered.…
This book is colorful, witty, and the lesson is very predominant. I was first draw to this book from the front cover, it is very bright and amusing looking. Then after reading it I knew the lesson was important and taught flawlessly. In classrooms books are one of the most important…
She states that "I treat everyone the same. But treating people the same is not equal treatment if they are not the same", but she didn’t display that throughout her class experiment(Tannen 349). For example, She broke the classroom into small groups to analyze the reading. The way she divides the class into groups is by “ the degree program they were in, gender, and conversational style (Tannen). That’s not treating everyone the same because she’s making exceptions for students. In that case, yes, she might be helping students get into their comfort zone to talk and learn, but might be hurting other students education. It’s obvious that people shouldn’t have equal treatment if they are not the same ,but people should have the same opportunity. For example, a teacher can’t treat a disable student the same as to an average student, but the teacher can support them with more help to have the same opportunities in class. For another example, a Japanese woman was the biggest talker in the class. Then she was to put into a small group where she didn’t do that well. She was “ overwhelmed by how talkative the female students were in the female-only group”(Tannen 348). Many students have different needs to participate, but a teacher can't satisfy everyone's needs. Treating everyone the same might be easier from a teacher perspective, but student with major needs should get it. That's why there Disabled Students Programs and Services in…

The first hour and a half I spent observing Mrs. Ballardo kindergarten classroom. The type of lesson that I am observing is Math Cooperative groups and the objective that is being worked on in this lesson is that the students can show that they know the numbers by counting dots on a die. When walking into the classroom I immediately felt like this was a class that promoted learning. It felt so welcoming, and the mood of the children were great they were all sitting on the rug and ready to learn. The classroom is arranged with the five tables. When you first walk into the classroom there are two…
He explained that he starts the day by preparing the day's lessons and answering emails. The most rewarding part of his job is helping kids realize the potential and ability in mathematics. The most frustrating is helping someone who doesn't want to be helped. He also explained how his schooling was quite rigorous and hard, there was lots of reading and writing and lots of time poured into becoming a teacher. He also explained that he starts off strict by setting boundaries and expectations of students and as long as they are met he is mellow. He also explains how in this stage of the children's life they are begging to learn more harder concepts and his reaction to someone having trouble is to clear up confusion. His way of solving confusion is by explaining it in a variety of ways to see the way the a students learns best and most efficiently, he also tries to connect his teaching into what is in style or hobbies of a student. His style of teaching is very good for the age group he…
It has been useful to formalise ideas on the environment of teaching, with learning about the roles and responsibilities of the teacher and knowing my learner in the first part of the module. It was important to make me focus on the legal aspects and obligations of teaching setting the backdrop of the framework under which I would be working.…
S2 Leadership style provides High Directive while instilling High Supportive Behavior. (Coaching). Ann may need to be around her new students as much as possible training and explaining the seriousness of the policies regarding on air remarks. She is dealing with high achievers and therefore, I believe they may "run with it" AFTER they have the correct coaching. This would help Ann down the road.…
Mother Teresa stated, “Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are endless.” It was those kind words that I remember from each individual teacher I had growing up. I remember spending countless hours learning with different techniques from different teachers. I’ll never forget Mrs. Marie Simcoe, for she was that kind voice echoing endlessly. She was my kindergarten teacher. I remember always wanting to help her and to be just like her. She was kind hearted and soft spoken. She taught with care and did everything she could to get her students to understand without a word of frustration.…
First I want to tell you with whom I honor, with whom I have, learned to respect, and who deserve the outmost admirations. The teachers I am talking about work hard to do a great job, because, above all, it is a kind of responsibility so to speak towards their students and relevantly toward themselves. I have had several teachers in my years as a student both in the primary and secondary schools among which there were only few whom I felt to fit the description above, maybe most of them were good in their own way, but one cannot be sufficient in all ways or I may also have misunderstood them. However, the teacher that I chose as deserving of the “My Favorite Teacher” earned this title due to the care she showed to each of her students through her teaching, personality, and the all the fun had in her class is Ms. Fleming my writing teacher. Ms. Fleming is an open minded, caring person who seemed to love what she is doing. Ms. Fleming is more than a teacher to me; she is a person you could go to with a problem and she would try and help you find the answer. She would help you, but expected you to put the work into finding out for yourself how to do something. She always came across as someone who cared about every student as if they were her “children”. Ms. Fleming is like a book that gives you the right information that would help you on getting a six on the FCAT writing. About 95% of her student’s agree that Ms. Fleming spent each day preparing us for the FCAT writing in thirteen days. The first time I walked into the classroom I notice a flaming red headed teacher sitting down. I thought that she would be a boring, and mean teacher giving her student’s a lot of homework and essays to write. Every word that comes out of her mouth sounds like music to my brain. When it comes to teaching she doesn’t let out a lot of stress, most of the stress comes from whether or not her student’s would receive a four or higher on the FCAT writing. When I’m in class Ms. Fleming have…
The role of a teacher is multi faceted. It not only requires the teacher to be able in terms of teaching their given subject, but they also have to be competent in many of the softer skills often taken for granted by outsiders ‘looking in’. The ability to share knowledge, conduct research on a subject and understand individual learning styles is coupled with the ability to be a good listener, be approachable, be able to constantly assess and be able to demonstrate new materials are just a few.…
The teacher’s role was to provide a safe and learning environment, encourage students to try to perform to the best of their abilities and facilitate the structure of the curriculum to meet the needs of the students and grade level standards. I could tell she is very supportive to all her students and serve as a motivator because she is always encouraging them to do better and never give up. She also shared a story about her childhood…
Before entering in a classroom, a “good teacher” should be highly knowledgeable of the subject area they will be teaching and have a clear understanding of how to organize the curriculum in order to meet the need of the students and the objectives of the school. The interview highlighted that Teacher X is one of the chief writers of the curriculum for the examination body of her institution. It will be ones belief that a personnel would not have been bestowed such privilege if she was not competent in her subject area. She also outlined that her learning objectives are based on the knowledge, ability and skill of the students. This further exemplifies her since Darlington-Hammond and Baratz-Snowden (2005) states that based on the learning needs of their students, teachers must make a wide variety of curriculum decisions, ranging from the evaluation and selection of…
