Pedagogical Strategies

Pedagogy is a word that is used to describe the art and science of teaching. Pedagogical roles are the many and varied that a teacher may perform while teaching, such as structuring, soliciting, responding and reacting. Other roles involve assessing, criticising, discussing, encouraging, enquiring, evaluating, explain, giving individual instruction, lecturing, organising, presenting, questioning and answering, repeating and reviewing and team teaching and tutoring etc.

In my philosophy I will talk about the goals of teaching and ways to accomplish them. Also I will describe how I feel about public education, what kind of teacher is the best,how young children learn and develop,how best i plan to teach them and what school system works the best because of

I have heard that for many beginning teachers, classroom management can be one of the most challenging aspects of their new career.  Knowing this, I decided to experiment with many classroom management approaches during my student teaching to find one that fit both my students and myself.  Based on these experiences, I designed a classroom management plan that I will implement in my classroom as a beginning teacher.  It is important to note, however, that my classroom management philosophy will be evolving as necessary as I gain more experience and insight into the field of teaching.  Also, my classroom management plan may need to be altered to fit my specific group of students.

My philosophy of classroom management is that the management of elementary classrooms require several things.  Among patience, determination and motivation are: flexibility, careful planning and consistency.  A well-managed classroom did not get well-managed without a teacher who planned, had a flexible vision and was determined.  Any new teacher, who is asked, will say they want a classroom with as few behavioral problems as possible as well as one that is easily manageable.  But any experienced teacher, who is asked, will tell those new teachers that classrooms do not come "well managed".  They have to be made into well-managed classrooms.  These experienced teachers would also encourage by saying

What is effective classroom management? It is a class that has rules, expectations, and standards. An effective instructor will create a safe environment where lessons run efficiently in which each learner can succeed and participate in the learning (Characteristics of Effective Teachers, 2014). Before watching the SSC Classroom Management Case Study #1, these are the questions I used to determine effective/ineffective classroom management strategies used by the instructor:

The one that has stood out throughout my 3+ years here would be socially merciful, which I experienced at the Mercyhurst Day of Service during my freshman year. I, along with around 20 other freshmen went to the YMCA of Greater Erie where we essentially had recess with some children. I can still vividly remember that day; it was a fairly cool August day and we were inside a warm gymnasium where 3-4 teachers led their classes into the gym. Almost instantly, the children started running and screaming towards us overjoyed that they had different people to hang around with and play with. I remember looking over at the teachers who, although just for a short while, were able to sit back and relax and let out a sigh of relief because someone was there to help

Like a good business plan, every teacher should have a personal educational philosophy in place. Witcher, Sewall, Arnold, and Travers in Teaching, leading and learning: It’s all about philosophy (2001) say that a

Describe how you taught this best practice. What pedagogical strategies or tools did you use?

One must look at classroom management as a plan for what procedures students will follow throughout the day. Teachers must understand their role in making sure students have a successful experience each day. Wong H. & Wong R., state “Effective teachers teach how to responsibly follow procedures” (2009, p. 165). To have a smooth-running classroom with minimal behaviors, students must be taught classroom procedures from the very first day. In my classroom we have procedures for many things we do each day. Some of these are arrival of children, snack time, lining up and walking down the hallway, and cleaning up centers. I have been teaching these procedures for many years with much success.

My philosophy of classroom management is to allow students to be responsible for their own behavior at all times. I believe allowing students to be responsible for their behavior and actions allow them to have a sense of freedom. When students have freedom, they seem to be more successful and respectful. Classroom management is more successful when the class is student-centered. Students should be included in the planning of classroom rules, room arrangement, and communication should flow smoothly between teacher and student. Although the class is student-centered the teacher should be in control of the classroom. The teacher should know what is going on at all times, plan interesting and informative lessons, and be

When I started teaching 17 years ago, I thought students would do what I asked them to do, because I asked. I have learned throughout the years that this is not always true, and that it is very important to have a classroom management plan ready every year before school starts. As a teacher, it is my job to provide a safe environment where my students feel welcome, and can receive the quality education they deserve. I believe that I should be assertive with discipline and teaching, have an organized, well-managed classroom, and teach students important social skills and how to behave appropriately in different situations they may encounter throughout their lives.

This experience taught me some classroom management skills. These include keeping students on track with the lesson and making sure they are engaging with the material. I also learned how to reinforce good behavior and participation

This essay will be analysing the most effective pedagogic principles for teaching in the early years or reception class. It aims to make available an improved understanding of the variety of pedagogical principles within early years ' classroom and the strategies that can influence the choice and application of different pedagogies. It is world widely known that ‘’ early years’’ of a child starts from the moment they are born to the age of 5.

Teaching a specialism of any matter requires the teacher themselves to be competent and confident with their own abilities first. To be a competent carpenter requires lots of experience, dedication and time – without dedication, you will not put in the time and in turn not gain the experience. Hence dedication is a fundamental element, which is expressed to all the construction students at Harlow College, in order for them to succeed. Dedication goes hand in hand with motivation, motivation is developed from enjoyment. Therefore making a positive rapport between student and teacher is a very important because ‘good teacher-student relationships are based on mutual respect. The student respects the teacher for their teaching skills, personal qualities, knowledge and professionalism’ (Petty, 2004) which puts emphasis on the teacher who is at the core of the motivation behind any prosperous student.

Although I have been in the classroom for three years, this is my first year with my very own classroom. With this being said, I am still figuring out what works and what does not. The children are not the only ones learning this year! As I mentioned above, every learner is unique and I work hard every day trying to discover how I can effectively teach each of my eighteen students. Understanding the different learning styles of your students and how to implement them is one of the
