Opening up to students is very important for teachers. While it is obviously not appropriate for a teacher to confide intimate personal details to the class, or gossip about others to try to be more accepted, there are ways that a teacher can seem more 'real' to the students. For example, crying over something very sad or letting the students know when the teacher is getting angry with their misbehavior goes a long way toward having younger students see teachers as real people. These same kinds of things - made age-appropriate of course - can work well for adult learners, as well.
Many individuals who are a bit older also have trouble connecting with their instructors, because they are uncertain about what is wanted from them, and they may have trouble learning everything that they need to know in the way that it is presented to them. The way that students are taught is so very important to their future, and the way that they learn things must be addressed so that they do not have to struggle as strongly through school, and this is especially true of adult learners who may already be dealing with many other issues as well. Naturally, students can all have different learning styles, which means that not all students in a classroom will respond to a specific style of learning. With this being the case, utilizing many different ways of teaching material...
Unorthodox learning is also often encouraged. With respect to the adult learner population, it appears that formal classroom learning can be a real problem. Some of this comes from the fact that not enough studies have been done about the issue, and some comes from the fact that formal classroom learning is something that most adult learners are not sure how to deal with. Many of them have not been to college before, and they are uncertain about what is required of them. Some of them have also been essentially forced back to school because they have to learn more skills for the job that they have or the job that they wish to have.
Because there are so many different reasons that people have when it comes to going back to school later in life, it only makes sense that one style of learning will not work for all of them and that the passion that their teacher has for the subject will affect them and whether they enjoy the learning process. People who enjoy learning generally perform better at it.
Teaching English as a Second Language in Middle School The teaching of ESL (English as a second language as countered to as a language that is foreign) has usually been a specialized activity that is experienced by, if not preserved for, individuals that are conventionally mentioned to as native speakers that are native English. Since there are now a lot more nonnative language ESL teachers than there were before, the area
Convergent questions seek one or more very specific correct answers, while divergent questions seek a wide variety of correct answers. Convergent questions apply to Bloom's lower levels of Knowledge, Comprehension, and Application and may include questions like "Define nutrition," "Explain the concept of investing," and "Solve for the value of X." Divergent questions apply to Bloom's higher levels of Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation; are generally open-ended; and foster student-centered discussion,
I chose this student as one I would mentor using the teaching techniques. I chose scaffolding techniques of personalizing the curriculum to his specific needs, working to determine what his interests were. After speaking with him, it was apparent he had little confidence in his ability to analyze, make intelligence remarks and confided in me he was intimidated by the far more participative students in the class. It was
Teacher Recruitment Examine how teacher recruitment evolved fifteen years Learning is a process that commences from the time of birth of any individual and has no limits to the extent to which a person may reach. It is for this reason that ministries of education and education boards as well as teaching fraternity unions and organizations have been established (Reynolds, 2010). Through these institutions, teachers are educated, trained, verified and employed into
Teaching Strategies Problems Long Division Area Perimeter and Volume Ratio Proportion Percentages Strategic teaching describes an instructional process that focus on student's thinking capabilities and goes well beyond that. Strategic learning is correlated with strategic teaching. A strategic teacher should have an understanding of variables regarding instruction and he is required to be aware of the cognitive requirements of learning like sense of timing and a style of management. He should be a thinker
Scaffolding serves as immediate need of creating lesson plan customization and support for specific student needs. Over time, I observed this student gain greater mastery of the subject and find purpose in studying American history. We set the goal of having him go to the whiteboard and lead discussions of World War I at least three times during the semester. We practiced and walked through concepts. As I learned
