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 in some mechanical process of assimilation” (GTCNI, 2007:5). Teaching today has moved beyond
in school in Guadalajara. Thanks to the ten teaching practices I have had lots of hours to practice my teaching. I went from knowing absolutely nothing about teaching, to feeling like I can teach any subject in English at ease. I understand what to do, and what not to do in a classroom setting. My observers helped me improve my teaching from adequate to a professional standard. What is a good teacher? A good teacher is one that has a passion for teaching.

Overview: The text, Writing on Demand: Best Practices and Strategies for Success is designed specifically for teachers by teachers. With a quote on the cover of the text that is highlighted by a bright orange background and explicitly states that this book is “Ideal for SAT, ACT, AP, and State Assessment Exams”, the text quickly announces that its core audience is going to be teachers within the middle school to high school range. Given the aim of this text, it proves to be a highly beneficial
Tobacco Use Teaching Methods Introduction Choosing the correct teaching method is important to help the learner retain and learn information in an effective and efficient way. Tobacco use is a health related topic that needs further education and intervention from a nurse. Group discussion and demonstration, and return demonstration are two teaching methods of interest to me, which I believe will be beneficial to use when educating a small group of five people about this health-related topic

(uwm.edu, 2014) Inclusive learning and teaching is about involving all our learners, treating them equally and fairly, without directly or indirectly excluding anyone, creating interesting varied and inspiring learning opportunities for all learners and ensuring that all learners contribute. Also make sure that learners are not disadvantaged by methods, language or resources, embed sufficient minimum core in lesson plan. Use wide range of teaching strategies and learning materials, give sufficient
Introduction In this analysis, my objective is to reflect on effective teaching and learning strategies and methods, using my personal experience in the classroom, as well as wider reading/research and university lectures, including my contextual analysis on my placement school (see appendix one). However, since there are so many dynamics to effective teaching and learning, one cannot put a finger on a single aspect and use that as a solution. With this in mind, I have chosen to look at two foci
works better for the learners. Other articles look at this instruction model differently and, therefore, offer different results. Direct instruction was first developed by Siegfried Englemann and Wesley C. Becker. Few studies have been conducted on teaching styles, two of the instruction models that are used today is direct-instruction and lecture-instruction models. Schwerdt and Wuppermann (2011) suggest that few rigorous studies look inside the classroom to see what kinds of
Even as a native speaker, teaching something as complex as another language will always present certain challenges. During the course, and particularly during the observed teaching sessions, I learned several techniques and theories that I feel have greatly improved my ability to teach and control a classroom. More specifically I learned about the different aspects of teaching from lesson planning to classroom management. Furthermore, I gained knowledge of different teaching approaches and philosophies
Each child sat down individually with the researcher the day after to read out the words they have learnt. They were shown pages of books and asked if they could identify the words from the text. They were also asked to create a sentence using these words. The Memorization and Mixed Method approach showed that 8 out of 16 children (50%) had a full score in reading the sight words “see, “give”, “have”, “feel” and “like”. 5 out of 16 children scored more than 2 but less than 5. The remaining 3 out
