Recommended: Professionalism within the teaching field

I feel that it is important in the world of Career and Technical Education for students to be held to the expectations that they would be held to in the professional world and not just as though they are being treated as students. Gaining practical knowledge through the more thorough feedback will also provide students with the ability to start being able to identify areas where they are having problems so that they can go and seek out assistance prior to action needing to be taken against them.
It doesn’t matter if I’m teaching students or professionals, it is my duty, and responsibility, to provide them with fun, engaging and informative content that directly ties the information I am presenting to them to their subject matter and is as current as possible.

First, the Awakening period which began in 1776-1826, when the right to a free public education was expressed.

  • Teaching: A Commitment to Lifelong Learning

    548 Words  | 2 Pages

    Education is an ever-changing part of society. A classroom teacher is faced with new challenges and obstacles that have never been dealt with before. Students come to the classroom with different life stories. Every student has strengths and weaknesses that surface in the classroom environment. Teachers must understand and focus on utilizing each student's strengths and work to improve weaknesses. Students learn in a variety of ways. The classroom must be a safe zone that appreciates student's viewpoints and allows room for mistakes. When topics in the classroom are related to "real-life" experiences, the information is more likely to be retained. Students learn from one another. The ideas and perspectives that each student brings to the classroom can bring insight into what is being learned. Students have to be allowed to explore new ideas, try them to see if they work, and sometimes fail. When students are encouraged to explore, they begin the process of becoming lifelong learners.

    Meaning of the Term “Competency” Competency has its origins in the Latin word 'competentia' which means is authoritative to judge as well as ―has the right to speak‖ (Caupin et al., 2006: 9). The English dictionary defines the word ‘competence’ as the state of being suitably sufficient or fit. Trying to draw a fine line between the words such as proficiency, capability, capacity, competence, competency/ competencies is even more difficult and creates confusion (see examples in Byham & Moyer, 2000; Cooper, 2000; Mirabile, 1997). Those who invested efforts in investigativing competency are immediately struck by the lack of uniform definitions, compositions, and methodologies which, of course, lead to misunderstanding, wandering,
