Teaching Style
Teaching Style had been passed down centuries ago, the teaching styles evolves tremendously. Teacher centered learning is the old way of teaching where teachers are more in control and students’ ideas are denied. With this teaching style student cannot learn about himself, student will have low esteem and they do not have an effort to do things by their own. This style of teaching is the way Sister Aloysius teach. There is another teaching style which is effective, it is the student centered learning, that makes the student teach and interact with teacher. Teacher are more lenient and let the student give their opinion. Teacher roles is to be a mentor and check where they are strong. It makes the student more interested on the

In the parable “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanley stated “Sister Aloysius: These three students with the highest marks. Are they the most intelligent children in your class? Sister James: No, I wouldn’t say they are. But they work the hardest” (1470). Not all highest marks, are the most intelligent student. Some of them just work hard and study a lot. Because if a teacher makes the class fun, it is not boring. The students and the teacher share their opinion. Instead of listening to the teacher, teaches and students interact equally. That makes the student more comfortable going to school. By grouping them to work together is encouraged, and the student learn to other student to collaborate and communicate. They will learn more by doing this and it will increase their self esteem to participate on any class activities. The students in Sister James classroom are hard working but not intelligent person. The reason why the students are hard working is because of how Sister James teaching style. They learn important collaborative and communicative skills through student group work. They learn more by their own learning, they can ask question and complete their work by themselves. This happens because they are interested in learning activities and classroom learning because of the interaction with the teacher and other …show more content…
In the parable “Doubt” by John Patrick Shanley stated “Sister Aloysius: Use … It is society which requires constant educational, spiritual and human vigilance. I cannot afford an excessively innocent instructor in my eight grade class. It’s self indulgent and innocence is a form of laziness. Innocent teachers are easily duped and teacher must be Canny, Sister James” (1471). When Sister Aloysius told this to Sister James about her teaching style, all of them are true. When teacher are using student centered learning style, students tend to feel more comfortable, and sometime they fool around. With this learning style the class will always be often noisy, busy and sometimes chaotic. It is hard to manage the class when doing activities at once, and some students are working different project. This is why Sister James are being Innocent and without any experience makes her vulnerable. Because of this teacher can not deliver the information to all of the student and some of the student may miss some important information on the lecture. Some students are forced to work with a groups and they do not like it because they wanted to work alone. Maybe Sister James and Father Flynn teaching styles makes the student be themselves and express their opinion and some other students take advantage of that opportunity, and make the best of it by taking

    Along with her education, her teachers were of a higher quality, since they all had doctorates, for the teachers in The Middle Five were probably missionaries without teaching experience. In addition to her time as a student there are differences in her experiences as a teacher. Even though the superintendent in The Middle Five was strict, he pales in comparison to the remnants of punishment at the school before she taught, which included jail cells and the giving of drugs to students who acted out. On a more positive note while she was teaching at the Indian boarding school they had organized activities, including some cultural…

    Some teachers prefer class to be silent and appreciate when students work on their own, while other teachers like to see students making comments and having discussions about the material. Likewise, when students discovered which teachers prefered which type of students they changed to fit into that teachers perfect student. Pope states, “The students may use the disguises to hide their weakness or to show off their strengths, but in either case, the teacher is privy to only a partial view, often resulting in a lack of useful knowledge about the students, or worse, misconstructions about the youth.” An example of this claim is Teresa, one of the students Pope studied, she excelled in her business classes, and when she was nominated for Outstanding Business Award, her Spanish teacher was perplexed. He said that she often failed tests and didn’t turn in assignments.…

    The author states, “But at other moments, the classroom is so lifeless or painful or confused—and I am so powerless to do anything about it—that my claim to be a teacher seems a transparent sham” (Palmer 2). I kept reading this quote over and over again. It stuck out to me because I felt really terrible about my experience of subbing the other day. I subbed for a junior high class and I did not have a good experience. I felt like what in the world did I get myself into.…

    In the classroom, I was observing at SPIN: Frankford, the teacher used the different steps of direct instruction in her classroom. In direct instruction there are 6 guiding principles and I thought in the classroom I was observing, the teacher used all six of these principles. I thought the lessons the teacher taught were well organized, and sequenced manner. When I was there, all her lessons she had were nicely organized in a binder. Before the teacher would start the lesson she would start with a short review of the previously learned skilled, so she could start the new lesson, so if the children previously learned the letter “I” and she would review what she did with the class by asking questions and than she would introduce the new lesson, which was the letter “”J”.…

    As I walked into Allen Elementary, the first thing I observed were the bright colors in the hallways. The student’s artwork lined the walls and college pennants hung from the ceiling with the student’s names. Seeing the pennants immediately made me think of what Payne (2013) wrote, “spiritual resources provide a person with a ‘future story,’ which gives him/her hope for the future” (p. 9). Teacher’s had bulletin boards outside their classroom. They were decorated with items from the college they attended which I believe reaffirm their “future story”.…
