| Professionalism in the Classroom
Addressing the
needs and learning styles of all students
The
first step in addressing the needs of my students as well as their learning
styles is for me to learn about them through observation. It is important to observe how each child
creates meaning and how they carry out tasks. Through early observation I will be better prepared to
develop lesson plans and activities that address the learning
styles of my students.
Every child has the ability to learn. As a teacher it is my responsibility to unlock that potential.
Instructional Planning
-One
of the most important aspects of teaching is having the ability to motivate
student academic growth.
-How
a lesson is introduced matters. The Anticipatory Set is key to getting students hooked.
-Learning
should be meaningful, but yet interesting.
-All
lessons need emphasis to be placed on meaning, pace, variety, as well as the
level of student involvement.
Being prepared opens up a whole new world to both the educator and the children learning.
Classroom Management
-It is important to remain
consistent in both consequences and praise.
-Routines need to be
established within the classroom.
-Students should assist in
developing the classroom rules so that meaning is attached to each of the
rules.
-It is a good idea to warn
children of their behavior prior to the full consequence taking place.
-Children need
incentives. It is important to praise
them for their good behavior.
-A weekly homework sheet
with the opportunity to earn stickers and a prize is always an option.
Giving children the incentive to learn and to behave in the classroom is a key component to classroom management.
