Teaching experience

This essay will analyse and highlight on the fifteen-minute micro teaching reflection that is vital for the self-evaluation and professional development of my teaching practice. It will further identify my strengths and weaknesses through my peer assessment and reflect on the teaching and learning theories, methods and strategies that are linked and practiced in my micro-teach. According to the teachers’ standards (DfE, 2012) “teachers make the education of their learners their first concern,

For my social studies lesson plan, I taught my lesson based on the book, Alexander Graham Bell: A Famous Inventor, by Justin McCory Martin. In this lesson, the students learned the biography of Alexander Graham Bell, they read the text closely to determine what it said, make logical inferences from it, participate in conversations and collaborations with partners, and describe the relationship between illustrations and the text. In order to do this we completed a “My Facts Book about Alexander

Wisdom is the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgement. Knowledge is facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education. You may gain knowledge through education but you can't be taught wisdom. Sometimes that's a hard learned lesson. In Siddhartha, Herman Hesse uses the theme wisdom cannot be learned nor gained through teachings but can only be achieved through experience. Which is very evident through seeing Siddhartha going through his journey

Teaching Portfolio Analysis In this portfolio, I have documented my first experiences not only teaching social studies, but also teaching an eighth grade inclusion class in an urban middle school. Although these lesson plans might not as good as my lesson plans of the future will be, I feel they reflect a great deal of work and dedication that came through creating my first unit for a classroom. With time limitations, I had to base my unit plan on a chapter in the book that was

I completed my literacy field experience at Isanti Intermediate School/School for all Seasons in Isanti, MN. I was able to complete my 20 hour observation in a 1st grade classroom (primary), a 3rd grade classroom (intermediate), and conducted fluency tests in a 5th grade classroom. Each class had approximately 22 to 25 students. Also during this literacy class, I was also able to spend a few days observing a 3rd/4th grade classroom and a kindergarten classroom through a couple of sub jobs I completed

principle qualities of a good teacher. Interestingly, as part of the SKE course I was given the opportunity to spend some time in a college, observing and assisting in lessons to students that needed to retake their GSCE exams. The main method of teaching in these classes was purely instrumental, with the goal to equip the students with the knowledge to pass their GSCE exams but without any deeper understanding of the methods. No emphasis was put on

which exists in use, is ethical in its use and is changed by experience. Critically discuss the role of reflective practice in supporting this assertion. The GTCNI have argued that, “Professional knowledge, by its very nature, is organic and, to an extent, evolutionary, reflecting a synthesis of research, experiences gained and expertise shared” (GTCNI, 2007:10). The GTNCI further reinforces this statement when it states that, “Teaching can never be reduced to a set of discrete skills to be mastered

Teaching a lesson about simple geometric shapes to a class of masters students was a really funny but easy process. I can imagine that if I was teaching the same lesson to a kindergarten class that things would 've gone differently and would have taken a lot longer. I felt that our backwards design lesson went well and that we only experienced a few hiccups along the way. Though my group and I prepared well in advance and tried to think of possible problems and issues that could arise when teaching

variety of teaching methods are used (Blumberg, 2008). People all learn in different ways and at different levels and using just one standard teaching method does not always work for everyone. Learner-centered education is beneficial to both the teacher and the student in that it provides the perfect environment for hands on learning. It allows for the instructor to tie the material to real work examples and situations while allowing the learner to relate the learning to their own experiences. Learning

definitely no copyright infringement. The second assignment I’m going to discuss was the digital library assignment. This assignment focused on teaching, learning and assessments under ISTE standard 2.a, which undertook the implementation of digital learning experiences while addressing content standards. The digital library is most definitely a digital experience for students as they can only get to it by way of the internet. Within the digital library, there are sixteen different content standards
