Action Oriented Is Important For Being A Teacher

Within the six traits of building relationship described in The Skillful Teacher: Acknowledging, Communicating Value, Respect, Demonstrate Fairness, Exhibit Realness, Humor and Fun are all traits that I have practice before with CoaH students. I think the three have used to build my strongest student relationships are Communicating value , respect and exhibit realness. One very strong student relationship that I had during my first two years here at CoaH was with one of my tutorial student Laury Alexandre. When I first met Laury in September of 2013 we did not start off on a great foot. She and the rest of her group had a lot of push back. They really tested me in the beginning to year. Laury went afar as giving me the silent treatment for 3 weeks. I think the one situation that really brought us to an understanding of each other was after progress reports for first quarter when Laury got a B in one of her classes. She was very upset crying hard it was afterschool I went to comfort her and took her aside listened to her issues and comforted her. The next day she sent me an email thanking me for trying to make her feel better even though she was being very unpleasant towards me in tutorial. She write that it must have been hard to care about some else’s feeling when they treats you so badly and that I must really be very good person. I write back to her that was not difficult at all and that I had nothing to put aside to help her that I enjoyed her very much as a student even

In my personal opinion, I believe that there could be many skills and attributes that could be redeemed necessary in order for a person to be considered an outstanding teacher. Like for instance an outstanding teacher would be known for portraying diverse qualities like passion, leadership, classroom management and content knowledge. A teacher has many roles throughout the school day, therefore requires various qualities that would redeem them as an outstanding educator. Throughout the school day, outstanding teachers are known for being able to accommodate the academic, social, and emotional needs of all of their students.

This essay contemplates my individual development, skill acquisition and exploration of teaching approaches; throughout and beyond the International Teacher Training Organisation (ITTO) program. The problems I encountered will be discussed; and their relation to establishing where my wealth of primary teaching experience aligns with English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teaching approaches. For example; efforts to reduce my teacher talk time compared to primary school education was important, correcting pronunciation in an appropriate manner and correctly pacing both my speech and activities were areas of development that were observed, reflected on personally and subsequently acted upon.

Education serves as the foundation to a lifetime of learning. Since every child is unique, I believe that it is important for them to learn in an environment that is both secure and stimulating. By creating this type of atmosphere, the students will be able to realize their intelligence and use it constructively. As a future educator, it will be my goal to establish a classroom that is, 1) non-authoritarian, 2) student-centered, and 3) focused around student experience. These three elements are part of Progressivism, the educational philosophy I plan to incorporate in my classroom.

Must have the desire to teach and having the expertise in what you teach is the only way a teacher can be successful and effective. Enthusiasm and energy is vital in keeping the students involved. Students will be more apt to respond with enthusiasm and energy. The teacher must fully comprehend the curriculum being taught in order to maintain a level of credibility and must possess the appropriate practical skills to reinforce and validate the learning process. It is equally important that boundaries be set in the

Making sure that every teacher has the ability, skill, motivation , and desire to do the job is considered essential. When implementing a plan or transforming a culture an educational leader must have full executive support, an effective communication plan, full employee involvement, thorough organizational planning and completive analysis, and a widespread perceived need for the strategic planning.

As we are approaching the finishing line for this course, one of the most important things I’ve learned is that relationships with stakeholders are the key to success for student learning. As Dr. Anthony Mohamed said in his book “The Will to Lead, The Skill to Teach“, a school's leaders responsibility is to assist in the development of a healthy school culture and a positive learning environment. In order for this to be accomplished, the school staff must believe in and make it a priority for ALL students' to achieve high standards. As a new principal I would want to establish that culture of learning for all, so I would begin by meeting individually with staff to begin to form personal relationships that will build trust and respect.

Chapter 3 describes the origins of action research and the different methods, steps, and types of action research to use. The first point that really stood out to me was the explanation of action research attitude. Johnson and Christensen (2017) define this attitude when, "you take on the attitude of a practitioner and a researcher and you think about how you can improve your workplace, try new strategies, and determine the consequences" (p.58). As a teacher, the root of this attitude and mindset is something that I do on a daily basis. I am constantly trying to find ways to improve my classroom and the overall school itself. However, action research requires more than having this attitude, and utilizing research to work towards a solution is something that I have slowly started to utilize.

To refresh everyone’s memory of my primary teaching philosophy. Since my main focus is on behaviorism, I thought I would focus on behaviorism solely, as not to overload this exercise and not to tax my peers, (and I hope I can call you my peers), any more than necessary. As you may know behaviorism deals with the consequences of positive and negative behavior. Behaviors can be rewards or punishment. As I stated in last week’s exercise, reward can consist of praise, token rewards like stickers, treats, food. Punishment can consist of no breaks, extra duties after class, detention, and taking away items. As I stated earlier, I am more of a positive approach to behaviorism. Positive tokens are more effective than negative approaches. In only

I will be teaching first grade at Vale Elementary in Cashmere, WA. With 46.2% of the students who attend Vale are considered a minority, I will definitely have a variety of students in my classroom. Students come into the classroom with a range of cultures and expectations from home. Despite this range, I will have the same high behavior expectations of all of my students. I will expect my students to sit quietly and listen while another person is speaking. I will expect my students to follow directions and raise their hand when they would like to talk, answer a question, or need something. I expect my students to treat their peers with respect by using kind words, using a friendly voice and helping when they are

Effectively teaching math and science in today's classroom I think that it's important as an educator to truly understand the task in which is at hand. We are no longer dealing with a classroom where we have typical students that are joining us daily, we are now having the joy of experiencing a classroom that regardless of your ability or disability to learn you are a part of a general education curriculum.

My classroom philosophy is to give children opportunities to use knowledge that is taught in learning activities. Teaching children behaviors that result in success that can be established and used throughout their lifetime. Being flexible but firm when implementing rules into a classroom is important to see what will work with students, and adjusting when necessary. Knowing each and every student personally so they feel safe and comfortable is important to my classroom management. Encouraging every student to do their best in a positive manner so that we gain trust in each other. Being a caring person, I can show the student sympathy, yet encourage them to do their best work in all that they do. Using engaging curriculum to help motivate

In Mrs. Requenes classroom you could tell that routines were familiar, because the students knew what to from the beginning of class till the end of class. For example students knew that they were supposed to put up their backpacks in a specified closet before class started. When class ended the students knew to get their backpacks and to line up at the door to be dismissed. In my observation none of the students misbehaved and they were surprisingly well behaved for first graders. When a few students got loud during class would talk to them directly and tell them to use their inside voices, and she would tell them that if they continued to misbehave they would not have the privilege of enjoying recess that day. That seemed to work, because

"Action research is the process through which teachers collaborate in evaluating their practice jointly; raise awareness of their personal theory; articulate a shared conception of values; try out new strategies to render the values expressed in their practice more consistent with the educational values they espouse; record their work in a form which is readily available to and understandable by other teachers; and thus develop a shared theory of teaching by researching practice." - John Elliott

“When educating the minds of our youth, we must not forget to educate their hearts,” This quote by the Dalai Lama truly shows what a teacher must do to be effective. It takes a very special person to be a teacher, teachers work with the leaders of tomorrow. There are many basic things as well that teachers must do to be highly effective according to the Utah Effective Teaching Standards. First a teacher must be understanding as well as accepting of different cultures and beliefs. Second, a teacher must find different ways to teach their students. Last, a teacher needs to plan and be organized in order to allow their students a positive learning environment. In the paragraphs below, these necessary skills will be discussed in much greater detail.
