The instructor interacted with students from asking questions to explain more in detail. The activity she provided was more lecturing and asking for feed back. Although, she did have them read silently and one student read for the whole class. Her lesson delivery was specific and content objectives were supported in using a web map. From the observation, the students appeared engaged but they sat for the entire segment, which could have been broken down by allowing different student to come to the board and write in the web-map. Another interaction the instructor did well was giving the student enough time to think about the question and respond.…
Range of Affect: A tutor’s range of affect is the biggest test for training day, but your professionalism is also assessed. Several key elements we look for in a tutor is whether or not they are excited to be at the session, if they are comfortable talking to and playing with the child, and how independently they can jump right into working with client. Does the tutor hang back on the sidelines seemingly shy or timid while you play with and interact with the child or does the tutor jump right in and play along with the child as well? For a child to be motivated to play, the tutor will need to provide smiles, energy, a powerful voice, and they need to be fun.…
As a tutor I will need to recognise basis skills needs, perhaps through initial pre-course assessment and discuss with the learner a discreet and sensitive referral route to gain appropriate support. I would also need to have the skills and confidence to support my learners to ensure I do not exclude the learners I am trying to reach.…
The planning of the lesson is very important for positive learning. It is essential that tutors are aware of the requirements of the awarding body, their own organisation and legal obligations such as health and safety. As a teacher I would have to develop useful assessment techniques. The two main types of assessment would be formative and summative. Cohen L. et al (2004, pp330) suggests that formative assessment provides feedback to teachers and students on the current understanding. This creates a rich learning environment as the teacher and students will know during the lesson where the learner is weak and can improve on and this will result in constructive learning. A summative assessment helps…

Based on the websites and textbook there are several things that can help Enrique be engaged and involved in the classroom. In order to keep Enrique engaged and participating in his classes, he needs an environment that is stimulating. Another suggestion is making the curriculum, student-centered. The curriculum needs to be presented based on the student’s interests. Another suggestion is to allow Enrique to start independent projects that involve his interests. Also, having Enrique work in groups can help him be engaged. Enrique should not have any extra work assigned to him when he finishes his work early. This can cause Enrique to feel frustrated and may push him away.…
Strengths and individual needs of all learners have to be identified by tutors as a part of their responsibility and the needs of the learners have to be satisfied accordingly. Learners have to be motivated and encouraged by me so that they can reach their maximum potential in their learning activity and feel inclusive in the learning environment. The weaknesses of…
In modern day teaching, the onus is shifting further and further away from teacher dictated methods of educational delivery, to methods that ensure the learner is placed at the heart of teaching, and every individual within the classroom is considered and catered for. Advances in technology available to teachers has contributed to a broadening of teaching styles, but this has mainly come about through the need to differentiate teaching more effectively and break down the barriers that exist between teacher and learner. Engaging every learner is a difficult task and requires the teacher to have a plethora of knowledge of teaching methods and theories. Learners may differ in terms of age, gender, ability level, communication skills, confidence, learning styles and many other factors. The job of the teacher is to ensure these factors do not hinder individual learning and that success and achievement within the group is widespread and at a high level.…
There are numerous ways of meeting a student’s individual needs. These can be by differentiated tasks which will be linked to their individual education plans. (See IEPS include). Other ways can be giving some students who it needs one to one support throughout the lessons to keep them on task, whereas other students may need small five minute tasks to keep them engaged. The aim of any teacher is to keep the student engaged at all times whilst keeping the environment a safe and fun place.…
Approaches that include activities such as role play where the learner may be expected to watch, listen, discuss, take notes, problem solve as well as partake in practical involvement allow for the development of group interaction. As with all approaches, this method may not suit all learners as some maybe reluctant to participate. When planning to use this technique its important that clear objectives are set and that all activities are clearly explained allowing time for feedback.…
Students tend to become engaged in their classroom activities if they feel a sense of belonging, and when they feel their teacher cares about their well-being (Skinner & Belmont, 1993). When students form a strong and caring relationship with their teacher, they are full-filling their developmental need for a connection and sense of belonging within their community (Skinner & Belmont, 1993).…
Yes, last week was really difficult for me! I'm pursuing my degree in nursing through Arizona College and doing my prerequests through Keiser University, so I was able to take advantage of the free tutoring available at Arizona College. I put my kids in daycare for the week and I was at the Arizona College campus from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. studying and being tutored. I feel that I understand the concepts that we are studying each week, however the math portion is what I'm having a hard time with since I havent taken a math class in about ten years. I feel that I'm able to do the problems but they are taking me a long time to complete and since the time frame for the test is fifty minutes I run out of time and I'm left guessing on some of the…
Although perfection is the ideal goal during tutoring, perseverance is the preeminent objective. The idea of promoting effort during schoolwork can have extraordinary effects. Students will not only try for exceptional grades, but on the other hand, to grasp and gain…
I found this session to be more developed than the last. This was presumably expected, but I am still pleased to find it to be true. While I successfully addressed some key points I had hoped to advance with after my first session, I still find that I lacked on some important ones.…
Going into my third recorded counseling session I felt extremely confident in myself, because I have developed a good rapport with my client. I have been having short meetings with my client prior to the recording, and knew something was going on internally. Some of her teachers reported to me that she wasn’t taking her medication, and her grandparent just recently passed away. Entering the session I prepared myself for dealing with her grief, and wanted to address the goals we set the previous session. My client suffers from asthma, and had just been released from the hospital the day before, and was still feeling extremely week during our session.…
