Teaching

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,

known as micro teaching is practiced all over the world. This technique helps the teachers to improve their teaching skills. The history of microteaching goes back to the early and mid-1960's, when Dwight Allen and his colleagues (Bush, McDonald, Acheson and many more) from the Stanford University developed a training program aimed to improve verbal and nonverbal aspects of teacher's speech and general performance. According to D.W.Allan (1966), “Micro teaching is a scaled down teaching encounter in

Evaluation of Teaching Methods In US Universities Even the smartest students have certain classes that they cannot focus in, no matter how hard they try. Everyone knows that no one is exactly the same; for example, identical twins may look identical at first glance, if you look more closely, you will notice differences between the two. This basic concept applies to teachers and professors too. Every teacher has a different teaching method, some people may think that the teaching methods are the

Since the beginning of my academic career, teaching has always been an important part of my academic duties. The interaction that I have with students is not only enjoyable to me, but it also gives me an invaluable perspective on the subjects I am teaching. Since I started my position at the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford, I have tutored in four classes across three semesters and supervised two projects, as detailed in my CV. I am also tutoring two new undergraduate classes in

frequently been called on to change. Once again new ideas are presented on being an effective teacher and I will discuss how my teaching will change as a result of this course. There are five areas of interest that I found will elevate my teaching skills. I will briefly describe them as structure, groupings, instructional strategies, the concept of linking assessment with teaching, and more effective collaboration with my peers. The concept of differentiated learning is appealing to me and while going

1.Discuss the reasons for selecting the teaching methods used. In the micro teach session delivered to my peers at college as part of an Assessment, I chose to use the following teaching methods: * Initial assessment * Brainstorming * Group work * Differentiation * Constructivist teaching. Science is a practical subject that requires an academic approach. The methods used are to promote active learning strategies that engage the student. As I already teach at KS4

During the Spring semester of 2014, I was placed in a third grade classroom at Charles Elementary. The teacher of the third grade classroom was Mrs. Doe. The experience in the classroom was one of the biggest learning experience I have had thus far in the education program. The environment was very welcoming and the cooperating teacher cared about my success, which was very rewarding. Comparing myself as a teacher to the first few weeks in the classroom, to the last few weeks in the classroom

One model of co-teaching is station teaching. This is done when both teachers have shared responsibility for a lesson and are giving the less at the same time typically in the same classroom. Students are asked to move around the room in groups to each station after a set period of time so that they may receive all of the lessons presented at each station. One major advantage of this particular co-teaching method is that it involves both teachers so that responsibility for lesson planning and

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. When selecting two teaching methods that are of interest to me, which would be beneficial to use when educating a small group of five people about this health-related topic are group discussion and demonstration and return demonstration

Lauren Dursky and I decided that we would implement different forms of co-teaching for different subjects. It did not seem efficient to use the same method for each subject, so we decided to vary the instruction. For math, we decided to use station teaching. This allows students to discover a true understanding of each concept through different activities. This style of co-teaching also allows each teacher to incorporate his or her own unique perspective into the classroom. This style could be challenging
