Teaching styles are divided into three major categories, mainly lecturing, facilitation and demonstrating (refer Figure 1 in Appendix 1).

    As the fastest growing racial or ethnic group in America's public schools, Hispanic students have the unique potential to positively affect the economic and cultural future of the United States. Ensuring the promise of this diverse group of learners requires the attention and commitment of the entire country. We must work harder to close the educational achievement gaps between Hispanic students and the nation as a whole. This must begin with high expectations for achievement, clear goals for what must be accomplished, and specific benchmarks to measure our progress.

    The 3rd is activity. Teachers must find activity in which students can engage in expressing their own thoughts, without feeling oppressed into thinking in a way the teachers wish, and apply the activity to real life or in other words “bridge the gap”. The 4th category is communication and this coincides to thoughts, actions, and feelings. Teachers should care more deeply about what their students think, get feedback, and make learning clear, concise, and compelling. The fifth is the law of the heart which also relates to the idea of emotions but gathers the concept of ethos(character-which draws the reader to learn), pathos( having a compassionate atmosphere to ensure motivation for the student), and logos( logic and putting forth that evidence). The 6th category is the law of encouragement which uses intrinsic motivation, comes from one’s own motivation, and extrinsic comes from outside sources. The teacher then decides what motivation will be best. The 7th and final category is the law of readiness, which is the teaching-learning process between the student and

  • Four Teaching Strategies

    1563 Words  | 4 Pages

    The biggest challenge before a teacher is the presentation of a lesson. If a lesson presentation is effective, students can reach the goals of life by acquisition of knowledge; and if the teacher is unsuccessful in his presentation, it is impossible to achieve the educational objectives. The method of teaching is directly related to the presentation of the lesson. The method of teaching depends on the nature of the subject, and the tact of the teacher. This essay is aimed at assessing teaching methods and strategies used in schools and discuss innovations that should take place to make them more effective and learner centred. Brandes and Ginnis (1996:167) acknowledge that the movement from established well-known ground to explore new teaching strategies is a tough challenge to teachers.

    The one belief I had about teaching that has changed since I began this unit, is that all teachers, more or less, taught in the same way. Perhaps this is a belief that I had formed from my own time at school, where all my teachers taught in the same way; some were more or less effective, but I wasn’t aware of them using theories or methods as such, more that they were or weren’t kind people. This belief has changed and it has really opened my ideas to the many creative models, and instructional methods a teacher can use.
