The problem of mismatches among children in the classroom is something that is very prevalent today. Jelani Jabari explains this prevalence with the definition of insanity: “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” (Jabari, 2013). Teaching every student in the same way

My Personal Praxis Statement
2761 Words | 6 Pages
...simply reuses the same approach and methodology each year, his class is likely to become boring and ineffective. In order to properly educate students, a teacher must always be looking for ways to improve his course—methods of making the knowledge seem more interesting and relevant to students. Originality and innovation not only maintain students’ attention, but also help keep teachers interested. Any subject matter will seem boring if an instructor teaches it the same way for twenty years. In order to maximize the effectiveness of their teaching, educators constantly must be in search of new methods of presenting content. Complacency, after all, is the first step on the road to ineffective instruction. Teachers, like their students, must always remain motivated by the desire to improve. Without this desire, the process of education becomes stagnant and empty.

Promoting Imagination and The Desire to Care in The Classroom
1151 Words | 3 Pages
The desire to learn new things means that both sides, students and teachers, must have an engaged pedagogy. According to hooks, an engaged pedagogy is both sides are willing to learn and grow. Not only the students are empowered and are encourage sharing things about themselves and learning new things but teachers are also meant to do these things (21). This is a barrier because if students and teachers are not willing to learn and grow democratic citizens cannot be created. This is so because people will not be educated of differences and others react and deal with different things in society. This goes along with the importance of self-actualization of teachers in the class...

Student Engagement

Instead of teaching us how to do projects and essays, how to use the quadratic formula, how to understand the concept of war, teach us instead the art of persuasion. Teach us the ways of entertaining an audience, the dilemmas that the world faces. Teach us that there are an enormous amount of issues in the world and they come with an abundant amount of solutions. To learn how to engage an audience is to learn how to teach one.

...wed assumption that preservice teachers would be able to connect the dots between the reasoning for understanding learner characteristics and the need to modify ones teaching to this appreciation. I think it is rather ironic that I did not personally follow the primary teaching principle that I was attempting to promote that, “teaching is comprehended as a process of working cooperatively with learners to help them change their understanding. It is making student learning possible. Teaching involves finding out about students’ misunderstandings, intervening to change them, and creating a context of learning with encourages students actively to engage with the subject matter” (p.114). My lack of knowledge and assessment of student misunderstandings negated my attempts to encourage active engagement with the lesson content resulted in theory two teaching approach.

There are many areas for potential failure in the learner-centered classroom. Doyle states that student resistance is the biggest obstacle to overcome. The student often doesn’t understand the concept and is not receptive to it. The greatest way to deal with this potential failure is to explain the ‘why’ to the students. Students that understand why they are to do a task and understand how to apply it are more likely to overcome it.

Often in life things do not go as planned. This was the case when I was applying to schools to observe. Initially I applied to Abington Senior to observe. I gave them my clearances and I emailed the head of the education department as they instructed. For some strange reason the department head did not respond to any of my emails.

Student Behavior Intervention Plan

This highlighted the importance of ensuring that all students had the required prior knowledge and experience to engage in the planned learning. I observed my mentor teacher use class discussion to build required knowledge before reading a big book or introducing new content. The high level of off task behaviour displayed by this class highlights the importance of using varied instruction methods and hands on activities to increase student engagement (Howell, 2014). One strategy for increasing student participation and engagement that my mentor teacher encouraged me to use was eliciting frequent responses from students. In particular, strategies that required all students to respond such as thumbs up / thumbs down were an effective way of monitoring student participation and understanding.

The teacher is inconsistent in her use of a variety of modality and materials to gain student’s interest and participation during activities and lessons. For example, a group of children were observed playing with Legos at a table and these group of children were focus on what they were doing. Meanwhile, other group of children were observed throwing smalls piece of manipulative toys on the floor. Some of the children seem to be interested in the materials, but not all of them. The teacher makes no attempt guiding students to learning objectives. The teacher provided a small group activity in which children had to decorate the letter B, but the teacher rarely mentioned what the purpose of the lesson

The school that I visited was new. It was the first year of the school opening. The school board had combined two schools into one, so the students had to adjust to their new environments and new individuals. They seemed to be getting along well with each other. Since the school is new the teacher has to adjust to new problems that araise. Times for the subjects and times for using the computer labs change. So the teacher must always be fixable for anything. In this observation of this classroom I learned about the enjoyment of teaching. How you have to adapt to each of the students.

All the students were required to participate unless they had a valid excuse approved by the coach. In all of the activities that I observed and participated in, the goals were challenging but obtainable. It was obvious that some students were far more or some far less athletic than others and the coaches were able to adjust their respective goal accordingly and did so without drawing attention to them. All the students knew what was expected of them before they came out to the PE area. They would not begin until they were all assembled and quiet. Once they found out which coach they would be with, the students were required to run or walk one lap around the PE field and

I came to the classroom everyday as nap time was ending. Savanna would be up before everyone else running around. I noticed this happening every time I came in. I asked the classroom teacher if this was an everyday thing. The classroom teacher informed me that Savanna has never taken a nap during the school year. I chose Savanna because she did multiple things that stood out in the classroom. At nap time she would scream, cry, throw herself a fit, and throw her shoes. They were to sleep with their shoes on and she would take hers off and throw them. I felt like if she could sleep with her shoes off she would actually go to sleep.

The students that I observed in the classroom were of middle to high school. I went to see 8th, freshman, 10th , and seniors classes, they seemed excited and very curious to why I was there. The middle school was more alive and rambunctious while I observed them. The High school kids were more relaxed, more comical. Some were paying attention while others seemed tuned out to the lecture or involved in socialization with friends within the class. By the end of the class Mr. Hasgil had restored the attention of everyone by using tactics such as history jeopardy with candy as the prize with the high school kids. In both he middle school and high school the kids were mostly Caucasian with a mixture of black, Asian , and Hispanic in the classes.
