Teaching Techniques Used By Our Managing Staff

Christina shared the last article that we will look at and it was called “Elementary-Aged Students’ Perceptions Regarding Appropriate Instructional Practices in Physical Education.” With PE being looked at as “glorified recess or playtime,” by not only parents, but the public as a whole; it is easy to understand why people don’t see a benefit in offering students PE as a class (Barney, 2014). Therefore, it is important to point out the benefits of PE to help reassure those who are skeptical about it. This article explains the importance of teaching in a way that allows students to grow, to learn and to understand underlining goals, especially at a young age. 2,479 elementary students 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders (1,277 males and 1,202 females)

Effective teaching and classroom management is essential for the development of student’s education (Marsh, 2004). Teaching is rewarding, yet challenging, and can be a difficult career choice to make as it requires countless skills, attributes and understandings (Groundswater-Smith, 2007). Teachers are responsible for accommodating to the varied strengths and weaknesses of each student and aiding them in reaching their full potential in a learning environment. Therefore, recognising factors that can assist in classroom behaviours and effective teaching are important. Killen (2007, p.) states ‘there is no single teaching strategy that is effective for all educators’ and this is partially due to the diversity of educators and students.

In early September, I observed two mathematics classes and will compare and contrast the difference and similarities in classroom management techniques, teaching strategies, and student responses to the teacher. I will also discuss classroom set-up and give my impressions to the effectiveness of the teaching style and perceived student response to the learning activity. Overall, I felt that both teachers were amazing in their own style and kept the students engaged and on learning task.

The present marketplace is highly dynamic and has good prospects for managerial posts (Hutchison 2014). The business organisations that are operating in the present business environment need good and commanding managers to direct the workforce of their business. Considering this fact, I have ample opportunities in the present marketplace to become a successful manager in short term as well as senior manager in long run. The market is full for really workable managers those who have good degree of qualifications and other personal skills. With the use of these of my skills, I can exploit market opportunities that are crucial for being a successful manager in any of the business sector that has good growth prospects from career development point of view.

The management style of the teacher sets the tone for the learning environment. I believe students can be taught to self-discipline. Most students are naturally good, and with the right management plan being implemented by the teacher they can be conditioned to be idea students. Students should be viewed as being equals in the learning environment. Students should not be considered subordinates within the classroom who have little to nothing to add to the principles and rules adopted by the teacher to govern the class. Consequently, I believe in establishing a democratic classroom. Teachers should give students the responsibility to, in a sense, take over the classroom and their learning.

Managerial effectiveness is a crucial element in the running of any business. Being a good manager does not just mean you can meet the goals of the company, it is all about being able to manage your staff in the most proactive way you can. In this course I have read about how important verbal communication is to be a good manager, the need to be able to manage your time as a manager, and how being able to empower your employees and delegating tasks can allow a company to run smooth. Theodore Roosevelt said it best, “The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” I have gained some very important and helpful knowledge

There are many factors that affects a student 's ability to learn and achieve. Classroom management plays a major role in the effectiveness of education and paves the way for the teacher to engage students in learning. Classroom management creates a set of expectations, routines, rules, and consequences. Through my experience at Olson Elementary, I have had the privilege of observing Ms. Mason, her students, and how she addresses classroom management. Every teacher has their own approach on classroom management, but essentially instills and models and principles of instills the goals and structure that meet the needs of their students.

Teacher training focuses on understanding child growth and development, teaching and learning, behavior and pedagogical practices. These elements form the pool of knowledge teachers use to teach effectively. Whilst these are extremely important elements for teachers to understand, without adequate knowledge of the models and theories for classroom management, these concepts can seem removed from hands-on experiences in the classroom and schoolyard. This essay aims to analyse three classroom management theories by highlighting the people involved, the key principles, the strengths and weaknesses of the models and summarises the similarities and differences between them. These are the Goal Centered Theory, the Choice Theory and the Assertive Discipline Theory.

As a future teacher it is my goal to not only help the children learn the core body of knowledge and skills necessary to be an acceptable member of society, but also to help children discover their own interest in a safe learning environment. I believe it is very important to use different instructional methods, different assessment methods, and effective classroom management techniques. To establish the learning style of each child, I want my students to be able to express themselves and be creative. Each child learns in a different way and at a different pace. Meeting the needs of diverse students is another major goal of mine. I will accomplish all of my classroom goals using the six teacher dispositions.

Many great learning and teaching strategies are presented in the text, How we learn… of which a few learning tactics, namely discrimination, perceptual learning, chunking and interleaving will be briefly discussed as to how they have relevance in my context. To begin we will examine discrimination, the brain’s ability to “detect minute differences in sights, sounds and textures. [Such is considered]…one of the first steps we take in making sense of the world” (Carey, 2012, p.180). This learning technique occurs often during HT training as students detect differences in breathing patterns of those being treated, l see slight tremors or body twitches that accompanies release of stagnate energy and perceived smoothness of textures in the human energy field (Mentgen & Bulbrook, 2011). Next, perceptual learning occurs as the brain takes notice of subtle differences in techniques, such as hand positions that seem the same but may not have the same therapeutic effect. Another learning strategy that can be useful in HT training is chunking which is the simple act of grouping bits and pieces of information together to make a whole (or at minimal a segment) of a concept. For example words stringed together create sentences and sentences which are connected formulate paragraph. In the case of HT chunking is necessary as a series of hand movements and/or places equate to a specific healing technique. The final relevant strategy from the text is that if interleaving, “a cognitive science

To maximize the teaching and learning process faculty must make conscious multiple teaching methods to assist with the development of critical thinking. The use of multiple assessment techniques to monitor and evaluate the learning process support both formative and summative assessment. Evidence-based decisions will dramatically improve the learning outcomes. The American Nurses Association (as cited in Su, 2007) supports the application of the nursing process as the foundation of decision making and an effective tool to foster critical thinking. Application of the nursing process is threaded in the course and learning outcomes. These learning outcomes provide a basis for selecting appropriate teaching strategies and for designing

The first tool that I would find the most useful in a future management job would be, organizational structure. I would use this tool to help myself to organize who reports to who when it is needed and who does what and organize it so I know also where it is being done a lso. The second tool that I would use would be standardization, I would use standardization to solve any problems I might come across by applying the same rules, procedures, and processes to have a fair work environment. The third tool that I would utilize is, letting people work as a team. I would do this so that they could come together and accomplish more together than they would on their own. The fourth tool I would use is, both internal and external recruiting. I

The ability to read is the utmost significant factor behind a child’s educational outcome, thus for an educator to impart the skills of literacy on to a student is the most important aspect of primary school education. The art of reading is a multifaceted process that expands on spoken language, it requires the mastering of a progressive set of skills which nurture a phonemic and Phonological awareness, builds a proficiency in decoding competencies and requires the capability to implement comprehension strategies. An insight into these skills are outlined within a framework comprised of six dynamics commonly referred to as ‘the big six’. These foundation elements are essential in the reading process, and the means in which these skill sets

During the assessment related to students' work samples and lesson objectives, there were no changes or adjustments. The following table summarizes each students’ learning for all evaluation criteria for this assignment.

This study was an action research study meant to benefit the instructional practices in my fourth grade classroom. These findings could have a positive effect on my practice, others within my field, and students. As a result of this study I plan to improve my teaching practices by giving students a variety of opportunities to make choices within the classroom environment. This will allow students to “own” their own learning experiences and feel powerful within the classroom (Tomlinson, 2001). As a result of this experience I believe students need time to develop their confidence when making choices. I plan to provide students with meaningful learning experiences in which they are encouraged to make choices. This includes continuing to create instruction based menus for each math unit within the fourth grade curriculum. This will allow students to practice making choices. In addition, this will allow high readiness students to choose a variety of tasks to continue their mathematical thinking when they are done early. This creates more time to work with low and medium readiness students. I would also like to extend the practice of menus into other subjects, specifically science and social studies. I believe allowing students to choose their own topic or activity to show their understanding of the content will be a very powerful practice. Students learn, grow, and find interest in different learning experiences. Choice within science and social studies will allow students to
