The Kentucky Teacher Standards and the University of Pikeville Standard are guidelines that teachers should use to become efficient teachers. Through my hours observing and as a Teacher Candidate in Clinical 1, I have witnessed these standards in practice. Not only have the teachers that I have observed under participated in these standards, but I as well have tried to follow these guidelines to make my teaching style proficient.
Standard One:Demonstrates Applied Content Knowledge Standard one defines what an effective teacher needs to do to demonstrate applied content knowledge. Each indicator breaks down ways that teacher can effectively show their knowledge of the content they are teaching. Standard One’s role is to give teachers a checklist for giving their knowledge to students. Each indicator is important in their own way, yet they come together to benefit each student. Communicating means that the teacher is talking with the students about what they are going to learn, how they are going to learn, and effectively giving each student the ability to succeed in learning the knowledge that is prepared to be given. The processes could be a schedule of when each subject will be taught, such as a syllabus. Communicating the concepts could be talking with each students about the learning targets, or “I can” statements. My cooperating teacher has her “I can” statements posted where all of her students can see them. She discusses them through the week when we
Communication is when you talk to people with words coming out of your mouth to the other person mind. There are three things about communication. One is unsure. So when you are talking to a person they will know what you are doing. For example, Hey do you want alcohol. No, I think um um alcohol is bad for you and you can get a um really bad um headache I think, plus one um I don’t how many people died from alcohol but um I think um that one million people died from alcohol use.
Communication in the workplace is a process used to transfer information or instruction from one individual to a group or another individual.
The differences were connected with a teacher’s original preparation for the teaching profession, licensing in the particular subject area to be taught, strength of the educational experience, and the degree of experience in teaching along with the demonstration of abilities through the National Board Certification, in which all of these facets can be addressed through policy (Darling-Hammond, 2010).America has not produced a national method containing supports and reasons to guarantee that teachers’ are adequately prepared and equipped to teach all children effectively when they first enter into the career of teaching. America also does not have a vast collection of methods available that will maintain the evaluation and continuing development of a teacher’s effectiveness in the classroom, or support decisions about entry into the field of teaching and the continuance in the profession of teaching (Darling-Hammond, 2010). n order to reach the belief that all students will be taught and learn to high standards calls for a makeover in the methods our system of education in order to be a magnet for, train, support or uphold, and cultivate effective teachers in more efficient ways. A makeover that is contingent in a certain degree of how the abilities or skills are comprehended (Darling-Hammond, 2010).In the last few years there has been increasing
Based on the Georgia Department of Education, Georgia has a new way of evaluating all of its teachers. Beginners teachers are held with the same standards as tenured teachers. The evaluation is through Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) which is consist of three components which gives to an overall Teacher Effectiveness Measure (TEM). First component is Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS). The second component is Surveys of Instructional Practice (student perception surveys). Lastly Student Growth Percentile and Student Learning Objective. (SGP and SLO).
Teachers in Tennessee are given a set of standards to teach young children. The standards are a crucial aspect of curriculum because they drive what students must know. Therefore, it is important that all teacher candidates have a clear understanding of the standards before going out into the field. The standards were created in a particular fashion for each grade level and subject area.
The Iowa State teaching standards helped me throughout student teaching, and prepared me to be an effective classroom teacher. Through lesson planning, delivery, and reflection I was able to see how the standards were interdependent with one another. A great lesson cannot be created only using one standard, several standards should be used in every lesson I create as a teacher. Below I will explain how the standards better prepared me for the classroom while interrelating them throughout student teaching.
Communication is “the process of relaying information between or among people by the use of words, letters, symbols, or body language” (Cherry & Jacob, 2011, p. 381). Communication is a two- way process; the message conveyed by the sender needs to be heard and understood by the receiver. It is important for “leaders to communicate regularly and consistently with staff” (Shifflet & Moyer, 2010, p. 252). Some
Verbal communication involves class discussions, answering questions in class, and even reading text aloud for everyone to gain a better understanding of what they are reading. Verbal also involves speaking with your teacher, and asking for help when a topic is not understood or a problem is causing confusion. The teacher must also communicate verbally with his or her students, asking them questions based off of their class discussions or school wise. Written communication can be through essay-writing, report cards, e-mail (a query or explanation of a topic), or through an online school website such as Edmodo or 'Remind' to help remind the students of homework, school events, and missed class activities due to a student's absence. Non-verbal involves both student and teacher's body language, which can reflect their attitude for wanting to learn and wanting to teach or help. A student must sit upright and be alert during class sessions, which gives both the teacher and student a positive attitude as the teacher can know that the student wants to learn. A teacher must also acknowledge students and be interactive with their class, as it can give the students positive attitudes. These forms of communication all lead to the development of the student and teacher, and is required
To communicate is to ably convey thoughts, information or feelings using signals, speech, body language, or by the written word.

This study is significant as results will help determine the impact of standards on teacher attitudes toward professional learning and on student achievement as well as the interaction of time and activities with standards-based professional learning. In other words, this study will contribute to understanding if standards-based professional learning has a greater impact on teacher attitudes and on student learning than does the professional development common in most American schools today. Simply put, does standards-based professional learning make a difference for our teachers and our
“There is an unequivocal correlation between student achievement and teacher quality.” Direct supervision and evaluation of teachers should effectively address teacher quality, and thereby effect student learning and achievement. Bret Range, an associate professor of educational leadership at the University of Wyoming has written two papers and maintains a blog related to teacher supervision. His research indicates, “the key to teacher development lies within well-planned teacher supervisory activities.”
Communication is a Latin word which means ‘to share’. It is the sharing of information between different individuals. It includes the sharing of ideas, concepts, imaginations, behaviours and written content. Communication is simply defined as the transfer of information from one place to another. This transfer of information can be shown in different ways. Communication is sending and receiving information between two or more people. The person sending the message is referred to as the sender, while the person receiving the information is called the receiver. The information conveyed can include facts, ideas, concepts, opinions, beliefs, attitudes, instructions and even emotions. Verbal communication is simply sending a message through a
COMMUNICATION:-Communication is the process of exchanging of information and common understanding each other. The elements of the communication process are the sender, encoding the message, transmitting the message through a medium, receiving the message, decoding the message, feedback, and noise. To an employer, good communication skills are essential in his working life. One of the challenges in the workplace is learning the specific communication styles of others and how and when to share your ideas or concerns. In all cases the problems are embedded in the complexity of the communication process itself. In order to transfer information, both the person sending and receiving the information must be able to formulate, listen, hear and interpret the message correctly as well as verify the information for completeness, and at any of these stages things could go wrong.
Criterion two of the Teacher and Principal Evaluation Program is “Demonstrating Effective Teaching Practices” (CEL 5D+, 2014, p.3). The focal point of this criterion is developing teaching practices that engage all or most students. Implementing effective teaching practices positively affects students in a variety of ways. It allows students to learn the necessary skills for them to be independent lifelong learners, helps them develop a deeper understanding and meaning of texts, find solutions to real world problems, increase comprehension, thinking and reasoning skills as well as increases achievement (Alozie & Mitchell, 2014; Chun & Jang, 2012; Murphy, Wilkinson, Soter, Hennessey, & Alexander, 2009; Ong, Hart, & Chen, 2016; Patrick, Ryan and Kaplan, 2007; Van de Pol, Volman, Oort, & Beishuizen, 2015). Criterion two includes four sub-criterions. This section will provide a description and empirical evidence to support the following four sub-criterions: quality of questioning, expectation and support and opportunity for participation and meaning making, substance of student talk and finally, scaffolding tasks.
