Competent Teacher Key Elements Of Thesis

Intervention within normal curriculum can be understood as "giving contingent, specific, and credible praise and feedback; motivating students to learn; and judging the extent of pupil attainment of instructional outcomes," (American Federation of Teachers 1990). Adjusting material and implementing methods to give student detailed and tailored feedback can help teachers' best influence the path of learning of their students. Not only does it make lesson plans most efficient, it also helps perk student interest within the classroom. When the student feels that their needs and interests are being taken care of, they are more likely to participate within class and teacher discussions. Students need to feel that their teachers are paying attention to their strengths and weaknesses. Such attention can also help build a report between teacher and student which will also help solidify the influence of the teacher within the context of student learning. Finally, one of the most important elements of what makes up a competent teacher, is the range of influence the teacher exhibits within a student's life and progress within academia. This is accomplished through constant interaction with the parents and guardians of students in order to fully communicate student strengths and weaknesses to foster further improvement, "Research has proven that when teachers and parents work together toward common goals the atmosphere for learning improves.

Many teachers already know and understand the power of parental intervention, but in many cases fail to fully implement its potential. In reality, a strong and active line of communication between parents and teachers can solidify teacher strategies and the effectiveness of lesson plans. It is through thorough exploitation of the familial unit that the best learning environment is fostered for the progressing student.
Fully utilizing the elements which define a truly competent teacher can help promote better paths to learning. Creating a methodology for assessing teacher competency then proves a great asset to the practice of effective teaching within a class room environment. In order to fully reach your potential as a competent teacher, one must assess oneself and constantly change to meet student's needs.

With the conceptual tools offered by psychology, we now can, for instance, more readily investigate the effects of mistreatment on children's development. My concern regarding the general disharmony of the relationship between adult and child stems from the awareness that we adults have the inclination to view the child as grossly inadequate. In our misguided efforts to help them, we downplay the significance of what the children themselves find applicable
