A Challenging Learning Experience

The most effective methods for teaching are being in a communicative environment where the language is spoken through dialogue, creating stories, brain links, and more. Also, I am interested in Total Physical Response (TPR), where the students associate words with actions. This can later be tied to storytelling (TPRS), where the students act out the narration showing their comprehension. I know this because I have done this with students, and they surprising learn and grasp the language better. The most important aspects of my teaching are motivation and teamwork. Without motivation students would not want to work, the class environment needs to be warm and welcoming. I do not want the students to be scared to learn another language, but open to the idea of it. Teamwork is also key because working on your own can be

I have been a teacher of students with special needs for the last couple of years in alternative settings. The students I like best tend to be the most challenging both behaviorally and academically. Success can be more apparent, yet at times there is frustration. I feel I am good at it, but need to learn more. Most importantly I love teaching kids with special challenges. The key is to be creative and keep trying.

All these strategies gives all students an equal opportunity to practice English, participation and involvement. ELLs students when it’s time to read or participate in class they may be reluctant to speak because of their lack of proficiency in English or feel uncomfortable in an environment where they have to share their ideas. ESL teachers must provide a positive and supportive environment that offers significant influence on student comfort level, success and participation that requiring ELLs to use the language in front of class without force them

What do you know about students with diverse characteristics and learning needs, in particular, students with disabilities and other exceptionalities?

Schools are often regarded as an ever-changing environment in relation to education becoming more complex and dynamic. Teachers can expect to have a diverse range of students in their classes reflecting on the Australian society becoming a more diverse Country in terms of cultural, social and family backgrounds, ethnic origins and levels of ability. According to Forman (2011) teachers are likely to educate at least one or more students with a diagnosed intellectual, physical,sensory or learning disability within their teaching career. In order to provide successful inclusion for all students and a optimal learning environment, teachers need to understand the diversity of each student incorporating multiple approaches and strategies. Something the teacher in What About Doug did not do according to Doug’s circumstances after his accident that caused him to have a Acquired Brian Injury. (ABI)

Teaching students with exceptional abilities requires funding, training and planning. Being in a regular classroom with children from various cultures, ethnic backgrounds and intellectual ability help students learn how to work together toward a common goal: reduce discrimination and stereotyping people with physical and mental limitations. Instructional strategies that break the work down so everyone learns better can improve education as well as reduce cost. This is achieved by including special education students in environments that will allow them to develop normal social interactions as well as receive specific attention to their learning needs. ("What is Special Education”)

Diversity encompasses numerous characteristics including socio-economic background, ethnicity, special needs, gender, and giftedness (Cazden, 2001). Today, classrooms are getting more varied and diverse with students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and students with a disability. It appears that teachers must meet the needs of all students successfully and individually to effectively teach a classroom of diverse students. This paper will first identify three challenges involved with ensuring that teaching strategies are

As a paraprofessional, it can at difficult, stressful, and complicating at times. The reason why I say this is because our duties vary from day to day activities, as I can relate to it. One of the major objectives during a day is that I have to remind the general education teacher that inclusion is the best way for my students to learn. It is essential to have a structured system of order, and this means that all students should receive the same expectations in a classroom regardless of a disability. My personal thoughts of inclusion are very similar to majority of teachers. It means to me that students with disabilities will be enrolled in general education classrooms, not just that, but the individual expectations should be similar to other

Since Michael seems to always rush through his work, having him work with one or more students in a group setting will force him to slow down since he will have to work with others. Cooper prefers to work alone and lacks social skills, so working in small groups can work to improve his socializing. By putting the ESL students in small groups, they will benefit with working with other students with different backgrounds and academic strengths. Even though Emma performs well academically, she will also benefit from the cooperative learning. Working with students that struggle academically will help strengthen Emma’s leadership skills.

Working with grown-ups with learning disabilities, as a mentor, it is vital that I approach an efficient and inclusive learning environment where can ensure students differing qualities trusted. On the off chance that as a guide, I am ready to look the differing qualities of my understudies and grasp it, I can show others how it was done and advance and generic domain. This positive illustration can empower different student or partners to regard people contrasts and that their information and thoughts are esteemed. It can make a positive learning knowledge for all students and take into account better working connections and enhance student execution as they feel inspired and included. Actualizing correspondence and different qualities inside instructing can shield individuals from damage as a guide I can show others how done, and guarantee understudies esteem every other contrast as opposed to segregate as a result of those distinctions. Petty (2004) thinks that 'You will have extraordinary impact on students who appreciate and respect you. ' All associations or learning establishments have arrangements set up to promote

Since I was a young girl, learning was something necessary to do in order to mature into my own self. It's something us as humans do to evolve from our younger selves. From learning to talk, walk ,and read we learn many things throughout our lifetime to be the person we are today. Learning is the key to life. Learning makes us progress. Riding a bicycle was a learning experience that I might never forget it.

Like it or not, there has always been diversity among students in the classroom. It is the fact that each and every student is unique. From every circumstance, students bring a varying set of values, perspectives, and beliefs to the learning environment. Understanding the character of students is important in order to become a competent teacher. In fact, teachers should be aware and recognize students, as unique individuals, all acquire information differently than others. Some of these differences are due to developmental variations in cognitive, physical, intellectual, moral, emotional, and social changes caused by maturation and experience. And this reality of classroom conditions makes instruction much more challenging for teachers and

The modern classroom has many challenges that face it. Shrinking budgets, less parental involvement, higher expectations, and growing class sizes, just to name a few. If this list was not daunting enough you also have the special needs students that have an array problems in your classroom that need specialized attention, lessons and seating. There are many forms of diverse learners from students who suffer from ADHD to physical disabilities to students with autism to ones that are bullied in school. There are so many things going on in our students lives we sometimes forget they have lives, pressures and disabilities that affect their performance and attitude in our class that have a profound impact on how they learn. For this paper I

As teachers we should focus on the importance of creating supportive learning environments which instil the notion of inclusivity of all students, with or without disabilities. As students enter the classroom they bring a mixture of cultural, academic and behavioural diversity with them (Watkins, 2005). As teachers we need to embrace the unique qualities that each student holds and make the most of this diversity to enhance the learning outcomes of all students. This critical reflection aims to identify how teachers can set up the learning environment to specifically maximise teaching and learning for all. In correspondence to each idea mentioned, I will also reflect on some potential advantages and challenges that beginning teachers may

I am primarily a secondary maths teacher, however, I also teach two periods of ESL (English as a Secondary Language) each week to year 6 non-native English speaking students. In the next two classes I intend to cover intermediate vocabulary and writing skills. During the planning process I want to focus on producing collaborative lessons where the students will work as small teams. I also want to
