In addition, based on what the results are, teachers can change their teaching methods or review over what the student is missing in their work. By examining and analyzing Haley work I will be able to see the development of her writing, word choice, content information, and drawings.
Firstly, by examining the appearance of Haley’s writing one can see how Haley’s works like physically. Such as the big writing that Haley displaces in her writing in the beginning of her writing. For example, on the first page of Haley’s work the letter portion of the letter “b” is written in the capital form. Therefore, this demonstrates that Haley is learning how to use capital letters because she capitalizing the first letter on every line. Furthermore, Haley’s punctuation skills are being used in her writing. For instance, Haley uses a period at the end of her sentences, but the portion of her period is large. This illustrated that Haley is just learning how to use punctuat...

    865 Words  | 2 Pages

    According to Runciman, there are many plausible reasons that students and other people don’t enjoy writing. Evidence, assumptions, and language and tone are the basis for which Runciman makes his argument. Overall, this argument is effective because reliable and well known sources are used in a logical fashion. Also, the assumptions made about the audience are accurate and believable. Runciman used his assumptions wisely when writing his claim and in turn created a compelling, attention capturing argument.

Mrs. Cable had an attention-grabbing lesson and did many great things in the thirty minutes I observed her.

There are also many ways this observation can be related to the material discussed in First Year Seminar.

    In contrast, syntax provides a new perspective to the narrator s behavior as sentence structure draws attention to her erratic behavior.  By her last entry, the narrator s sentences have become short and simple.  Paragraphs 227 through 238 contain few adjectives resulting in limited descriptions yet her short sentences emphasize her actions providing plenty of imagery.  The syntax quickly pulls the reader through the end as the narrator reaches an end to her madness.

  • Definitions Of The Quality Teaching Framework

    960 Words  | 2 Pages

    Intellectual quality is embedded through the elements of deep knowledge and understanding and substantive communication (NSW DET, 2003, p. 10). Throughout the lesson, focus is sustained on key concepts such as cursive writing, spelling, grammar, punctuation and vocabulary. Students are then given opportunities both orally and written, to express and demonstrate their understanding and competency. Extension options are also available for students where they can use digital technologies to publish their work or write in calligraphy once the set task is completed. (NSW DET, 2003, p. 11). For students to achieve higher quality outcomes, they need to be highly engaged and willing to participate (NSW DET, 2003, p. 10). This can be achieved through establishing challenging learning goals within each students’ proximal development and providing work that is intellectually stimulating, relates to real life and meet the needs of each student in order to gain confidence first (AITSL, 2011; Berk, 2013, pp. 267-268).

    Assessments are an important part of teaching. Assessments are a good way for teachers to monitor students’ learning and understanding. Knowing students’ level of understanding can help teachers improve students’ learning and guide their instructions. In the future, I plan to continue assessing students in multiple ways such as, asking questions, illustrations and writing to adjust my instruction.

    Teachers observe how the peer leaders grab the attention of the students and how they connect, so they can do a better job on enhancing the learning of the students. As the author, Fiske, says,“‘First, teachers should be encouraged to move beyond describing what they see and experience and to analyzing what is happening in their classrooms. Second, teachers should be encouraged to think about problems from an alternative perspective, particularly their student’.” For example, Mrs. James has students in her classroom that struggle with her Grammar assignments. Mrs. James continues to try and find different and unique ways for her students to actually get her lessons. She encourages her highest grade student to re-teach her lesson on Grammar. As the student, Marissa is re teaching the class this information, Mrs. James goes around the class with the role and her notebook. She’s taking notes of how each student is taking their own notes over the lesson, and she puts them all into categories. The categories are based on what kind of learner the students are: Auditory, Kinesthetic, or Visual learners. Mrs. James creates a whole new plan on how she can get reach her students on a different level for their understanding. Teachers have to learn how to deal with specific students in their classroom. Reading a curriculum and instructions aren’t going to

    As teachers, we have to monitor the progress our students make each day, week, quarter and year. Classroom assessments are one of the most crucial educational tools for teachers. When assessments are properly developed and interpreted, they can help teachers better understand their students learning progress and needs, by providing the resources to collect evidence that indicates what information their students know and what skills they can perform. Assessments help teachers to not only identify and monitor learners’ strengths, weaknesses, learning and progress but also help them to better plan and conduct instruction. For these reasons, ongoing classroom assessment is the glue that binds teaching and learning together and allows educators to monitor their efficacy and student learning.
