Learning by teaching

A lesson plan was written up for a Year 5 Humanities and Social Science lesson covering the curriculum content, why people work in groups to achieve their aims, and how they can express their shared beliefs and values and exercise influence (ACHCK027) (Australian Curriculum, n.d.). The completed lesson plan was then emailed to three peers and the unit tutor. The peers and tutor were to review and provide constructive feedback on how the lesson plan could be improved. Through the process of…

INTEGRATED CURRICULUM APPLICATION LESSON REFLECTION 1. What were your concerns prior to teaching your Integrated Lesson? I had many worries that came with this integrated lesson, but I would have to say my biggest concern was that I was going to have a hard time controlling the volume during this activity. The activity was very interactive and involved a price for the winning team. I thought this might cause some tension and craziness but it ended up going just fine and the children were very…

face of Mr. Serrano whom I cherished. Every students of Laurel High School knows Mrs. Davis who gives lots of homework. Chief Jackson whom all his cadets loved is a man of integrity. Mrs. Evans who is a fashion teacher at Laurel High School has been teaching for forty one years. Mr. Goode who some students believed to be aggressive has a very pleasant attitude. Mr. Serrana who could be playful at times in class could also be strict when his students’ ultimate attention are needed. Everyone knows…

I do feel that my experience in student teaching has pushed me into becoming a more reliable person. Many times, during my student teaching, I was prompted by teachers to perform easy actions such as reading a book to a class or teaching a whole lesson or unit. Being that my mentor teacher is the one giving me my job, I feel more inclined to perform just about anything she asks. With that type of mentality, I dedicated myself to becoming anything that I teacher needed me to be. I face…

SEP #4 In my observation of a Kindergarten class, there were many different teaching methods used. The teacher used many visual aids, and example would be when she asked the students to draw a pig. She displayed a pig on the board that was drawn by a guest speaker, and the students were asked to replicate the drawing. The teacher I observed also used games to enhance the student’s learning. The games were not meant to be competitive, but simply there to help the students with thing such as…

to be bad ones. these words are muted by calling students who work there 'peers ' in any way shape or form. train tutors in nondirective questioning methods. the gaols is to preserve the peer relationship, encourage collaborative learning rather then hierarchical teaching. be an expert in not appearing as an expert. there is a difficulty in remaining a peer. there can be a loss in confidence in your authority from the student that causes them to become less interested. centers have long been…

Hector’s passion for teaching is evident, by his outrage at the categorization of General Studies. It seems Hector believes all knowledge is specific and important, rather than a time-table filler. He quotes the poet A.E. Houseman ‘All knowledge is precious whether or not it…

My teaching philosophy was primarily developed when I was in third grade while attending a non-traditional Montessori school. Students were solely responsible for their own learning setting goals and then working toward those goals independently. The adult facilitator helped the students to set goals, held them accountable and assisted with new content when requested by the student. It was in this environment that I learned how to set realistic goals that pushed me a little beyond my comfort…

My Teaching Philosophy The nature of knowledge should be relative. Each student is different, and their education should fit their needs. Education should help the child grow both mentally and emotionally. Students should be given the right to think on their own. They do not need a teacher who will take their free will away. Students should not have to conform to something in which they do not believe. They should have their own thought processes. The best philosophical approach…
