Teachlive Field Experience: Virtual Classroom

By having good communication skills, we are able to successfully undertake the lesson. If I am unsure of anything after reading the lesson plan I am confident in asking the teacher to explain or elaborate more on the task set to the students or learning outcome. By

Teaching demands a lot of creativity and being able to adapt to different situations and environments. However, in order to experience lasting success, more than pot luck, charisma and spontaneity are required. Planning is essential. Planning and preparation gives a certain level of confidence. Whether it is a single lesson or a whole course, planning allows you to design the learning journey you wish to take your students on. In designing, you can make sure that you are catering for all your learners’ needs. This includes sufficient differentiation; for SEN needs as well as your gifted and talented students. In planning you can ensure that your lessons have a definite beginning, middle and end and have clear aims and targets. At this stage you will also prepare and plan resources. Also, you must plan your assessments. How will you know when the students have learned what you set out to teach? How will they know? How are you going to prove that learning has taken place at the end of the course? All these points will be addressed in the planning stage of the teacher training cycle.

I have gained the knowledge of consequences and incentives that are effective and also ineffective to use. By gaining this knowledge I know that during my years to come of teaching I will be able to use effective consequences and incentives for my class. I have obtained the skill of keeping an organized room, through learning how to setup the room in such a way that will benefit student learning and my teaching. The text book used and classroom lectures that I brought into this artifact opened my eyes to many details that I will bring to my elementary class. What I found to be the most useful of completing this artifact was the first part in figuring out my philosophy of classroom management, I felt that this was useful because I had to think of what a good teacher was and why I will make a good teacher and how classroom management will play a role in me becoming a good

The learning outcomes are important. There has to be a reason on why something is being taught, and how it will be useful to the students future. Throughout the paper, I’m going to give you an example of a lesson plan I

This week I learned about differe\irente instruction. I also learn how to implement a lesson plan to meet the needs for each students in the classroom. Each child learning style is different one child might understand the problem one way and then another child might solve the problem a whole different way. I learned about exceptional children and how they need intensive learning and individualize learning. That why it is important to observe and know each individual child so you can support them to the bset of their ability. My host teacher used different strategies to help the students understand the problem. When I did my lesson plan if was a challenge and time consumer.I likle how the lesson plan met the needs of the children. The teacher put the students in different groups so they acn help each other learn. Sometimes children learn best and better from other children.My host teachger explain to me that

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.

By joining the Teacher Cadet Program and shadowing a teacher I will acquire various methods and skills I can later apply in my future in the teaching field. The major skill I am eager to learn is how to mold lesson plans to the needs of the classroom. I

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

It helped me to take a step back and get to know each individual student and have a relationship with each of my students. It also helped me to understand that I need to arrange my lessons around my students needs and what makes sense to them and what they can relate to on a personal level. Each student is different and each student learns and understands materials in a differnent way and each student needs to be

To better prepare for my next lesson, I think having access to the grade level plans would help. Having access to exactly what I need to follow out of the Eureka books and what I need to add/take away would make my feel more secure, knowing I have all the elements that the students need to be taught. For my next lesson, I would also like to spend more time practicing aloud prior to teaching. I feel like I need to work on how I prep for lesson, so that I can make sure I am fully prepared. Lastly, I could

Today, July 20, 2015 was my first experience with the TeachLivE Lab, mixed-reality teaching. The professor made groups of three students each; our group consisted of the following members: Tori, Kim and myself. For our TeachLivE exercise, and as a collaborate agreement, we chose the class procedure topic “Turning in Papers”.

As proposed by Dymoke and Harrison, good lesson planning is essential to successful teaching in so far as stating, `It is often the case that poor teaching, classroom management and behaviour stem from lack of explicit planning` (2008, p.122) It is suggested then, that thorough planning is fundamental to the successful learning of pupils in many ways. Whilst allowing the teacher to follow a process of thinking, providing a mental practice session if you like, the act of planning therefore becomes an imperative aid for both student and teacher.

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.

Firstly, I would like to talk about the lesson planning and delivering. As we have already learnt from Teaching Methodology 402, lesson plan works as guideline and help us a lot as teacher trainees. It reminds us what to

Learning is best for students whenever their teacher applies emotion, gives them the requisite support and challenges them. It is through such process that students gain in-depth learning and thus discover their values, abilities, passions as well as responsibilities in learning situations that provide adventure. In most school lessons, students undertake tasks that require them to use their creativity, self-discipline and craftsmanship. It is thus the work of the teacher to assist the students discover their hidden abilities and overcome their fears in applying their knowledge to classroom and job problems through in-depth teaching practice.
