Learning by teaching

When anyone goes into an new environment they have biases that will follow them into the setting. The person need to be aware of their biases, so that they do not act on them and make a person or group of people feel discomfort. It is also important to remember to look back on the experience and acknowledge what one did wrong and right in certain situations.

Alvermann also states that "writing is a special kind of thinking and that when students write they must reflect on what they know" (pg. 180). This was very evident when Simmons described examples of her students ' writings. She noticed that after teaching her students about the intentional sentence fragment as a stylistic choice in writing, many of her students began to use it in their writing for various assignments. In order for students to incorporate intentional sentence fragments in their…

What makes a good teacher is a tenderhearted person who enjoys teaching students and will do anything to help their students. What makes a great teacher is a person who has a passion to teach students and will get down and dirty with their students. A great teacher also knows their teaching philosophy; in which mine is essentialism. All teachers should know their teaching goals for a few reasons. First they need to know who they are before they can teach anyone anything. They also need to know…

We have all been through this when students experienced a classroom with a good and bad professors throughout the school year. As the good professor who that inspired you to learn to accomplish things and explore what 's going to happen next in the future. And there 's the bad professor who have a boring personality or don 't care enough about making the students happy. Due to tremendous of math assignments we intend to receive in math class we find ourselves struggling a little. Whereas in…

videos, showing online pictures, and keeping an online notebook. In this notebook I will record the student 's progress and save ideas for future lessons. My final personal goal to self-improve is to enjoy myself when I’m teaching.

The issue that I’m exploring in my assignment is that the usage of standardised testing such as NAPLAN to shape English Teaching and learning is putting pressure on students and teachers. High risk testing is creating a “teacher centred instruction” Barret (cited in Thompson & Harbaugh, 2013) that promotes a less inclusive classroom, which in turn lowers student’s motivation and engagement. The consequence of NAPLAN is also raised in the article ‘Naplan: number of children opting out of national…

The demographic information of the community is essential in the order to set a good classroom environment and understand the students’ needs. It also constitutes an endless source of teaching material. The dynamic inside the classroom is a reflection of the community. The students bring into the classroom their communal experiences and it is up to the teacher/s maximize the beneficial aspects of said experiences. The instructional context…

contribute towards my aims, how I plan to deal with the possible problems during my lesson, why I chose those activities and why I didn’t chose the other activities I considered to use. I’ve chosen the scenario two (young learners) and as a topic teaching family and friends vocabulary. First of all when I was the two scenarios since I’ve done some lessons with young learners, I directly considered working with young learners again. But the scenario is based on the learners who don’t know…

Yet, this brings up the next problem, a poorly designed lesson for any student with disability or trouble learning. This lesson plan’s attempt at prompting student learning is great in theory, but real classrooms would never be able to execute it. The main reason, is again its lack of thought for students with learning issues or even students not comfortable with the English language. To make this more simply put, if any part of the grade depends on students truly understand the information they…
