Reflection Of A Teacher And Curriculum Worker

This stage speaks for itself. You do the lesson! A teacher will put their plan into action and must be prepared

The first lessons are concerned with a lot of verbal assessment and discussion, in order to gauge levels of experience pupils may have had prior to beginning my group. (At primary school Kishnama worked with a ceramic artist making and decorating tiles). During the first lessons with my A Level group, I neglected to talk about prior learning. One identifiable weakness in my planning. It is my responsibility to break down an overall scheme of work into lesson plans, identifying aims and learning outcomes through listing what I intend to demonstrate. E.g. in a scheme of work “hand building forms” would be written. My session plan would/should

Curriculum, as stated by Glickman (2014) “is the what of instruction”. Additionally, Ornstein and Hunkins, (as cited by Glickman, Gordon and Ross-Gordon, 2014) have listed the elements of the curriculum and they “are sequence and continuity, scope and balance”. The mastery with which a teacher can incorporate the elements of the curriculum in instruction is categorized by levels. The levels of teacher involvement in curriculum implementation are described and exemplfied

In part 2, I will provide a critical reflection on my own teaching practice during recent placement by making detailed connections to an appended lesson plan.

How the teacher plans out the lesson and what materials are needed for that lesson must be done in advance and already set out before the lesson begins. The teacher needs to arrive on time to that lesson and be well presented and speak to the children in an appropriate manner. The teacher needs to address the

By doing Module 1 of this course I had opportunity to think about my career as a teacher. In order for me to improve learners’ learning I have to create for them appropriate environment using different teaching strategies in which every learner feels respected and safe. Learners need to know that learning has a purpose and what they are learning it is relevant to their lives. Also it is important to provide them with feedback regarding their progress on what they are trying to achieve, how far they are from the goal that was set. And how to achieve all I have to keep on trying new things and improving teaching skills. The actual teaching, classes I attended for this course gave me opportunity to better myself as a teacher. I learned about teaching principals from our teaching classes, later applied my knowledge in my actual teaching practice and also learned about teaching ideas through the web. From all these I understood that my development as a teacher should never end because teaching is a part of a life-long

Any student, whether in elementary or college, learns better when the subject matter is thought-provoking and appealing. Traditional and old curriculum provides a baseline for students to meet and follow. Also, traditional curriculum is based of individualism and discourages exchanges between the student and teacher. Individual work teaches the child to develop internal critical thinking skills but it may bore the student. Teachers should continually interact with their students and challenge the student to think outside the box. Great teachers in today's system should help students develop a new way of thinking about history, math, english, and science and their education in general.

Developing an innovative curriculum each school calendar year is very imperative when producing an effective learning environment for students and faculty members. The term “curriculum” is known as the academic content that is taught in schools. School leaders and teachers may define curriculum as courses offered by the school, but is rarely used in such a general sense in school. When developing the curriculum, one must attain to the organized preparation of the lesson that is going to be taught in that given school year. Being an Christian educator and leader, it is imperative to show the Christian philosophy and worldview on how the plan impacts the belief and opinions about curriculum development, express my personal belief about the truth of society,

When someone is creating a lesson plan, the first thing they should do is specify concrete objectives. This gives you a starting point that you can build off of. Then you can come up with a good introduction to start the lesson along with learning activities. After that a teacher should make a conclusion, a way to discuss what was covered in the lesson. The sixth thing is making the timeline, getting everything you want into a certain timespan. Since there is so much to teach and so little time, teachers have to condense a lot of material. Another aspect that I learned is that nothing is perfect and you will learn from your mistakes. The good thing about a lesson plan is that if it does not work then you can adjust it for future

It is important to be reasonable and maintain realistic ideals and goals in the classroom. Understanding that you cannot always make all students happy and enjoy learning all the time is crucial because although teachers want students to enjoy learning, it is not realistic for students to always give positive feedback, but that does not mean you are not doing a fantastic job. It is also crucial to organize your life and understand that you may not have time for much else outside of the classroom and lesson planning, especially during the first year. It is important to plan on spending the majority of your time preparing lessons for your classroom. It is also important to understand that although you should always be prepared before class,

By using these three basic keys, you will have a more realistic outlook to your first year teaching. I believe some young teachers do go into this field trying to be every child’s savior, put every Pinterest idea into their classes and still have tons of free time only to be disappointed and severely wore out! Try out a few new things at a time. Your teaching style should be a little more flexible at first until you find what really works for you and your students. And being organized is extremely important for day to day functionality. Work different systems of turning in homework, passing out papers, asking to use the restroom. You can even ask your students for different ideas. As you go throughout the year, you can talk with other staff and veteran teachers to see how they do certain things in their classrooms as well.

Developing a curriculum is a difficult process, moreso when an educator has to keep in mind the number of students they are trying to reach. At the secondary level, it is not uncommon for a teacher to be responsible for 150 or more students. Each of these students presents a unique and trying task for educators who want to help students learn. Students have different modalities for which they gain knowledge, and it is the teacher’s job to engage those

plan. The first hurdle many new teachers have to overcome is the ability to maintain control of

From the Rusken College speech in 1976, a whole new approach to education was to be invented and from this came the introduction of the craft based qualifications, his idea of the government putting money into education and seeing very little return, made him concentrate on making people fit for work, in turn helping the economy and paying the government back on their investment. This is the main model used in my specialised curriculum. One of the attractions of this approach to curriculum theory is that it involves detailed attention to what people need to know in order for it to work. Lesson plans are produced with the main theme of ‘by the end of the session the learner will

According to the teachers’ standards (DfE, 2012) “teachers make the education of their learners their first concern, keep their knowledge up to date and are self-critical.” Therefore, this reflection practice will guide me towards the improvement on my lesson planning strategies and delivery. In addition, it will also make an enormous difference in my teaching and learning practice which is vital for teacher training.
