Recommended: Advantages and disadvantages of reflective practice

In order to be a teacher, it is very important for you to know what you are teaching your students. Students must understand each concept, in order for that to happen the teacher needs to fully understand it as well. One way to assess how well the teacher is showing subject matter competency is through reflection. This can be through many different things such as assignments and assessments. Assessing students helps show how well the students are understanding each concept. It also shows how well the teacher is presenting the content to the students. The teacher must constantly be aware of how well the students are doing and how much the student understands the content. This connection between the teacher and the student is key. Without subject matter competency, it is very hard for both the student and teacher to connect intellectually.

First of all I have learned and demonstrated this in my Foundations of Education class. I had a project that I had to teach the class about a certain section of the book. In order to do so I had to fully understand the content. I have also had this standard integrated into my class Developmental Reading. I need to know all of the information taught, because I then have to teach the content to a student at Wilson Elementary School. If I do not understand the content, there is no possible way for me to teach my student the content correctly. Another class that I have shown I know the content was my Math 119 class. In this class we frequently had to explain to each other how to do the problems we completed. This not only helps the student in the class further understand the problem, but also helps them show their subject matter

Then I went to the main lesson which I did on the white board and I started with simple two step problems and got up to the four step problems with the parentheses so they could see me do it. After I was done, I had each student come up a couple of time to check their understanding of it, to me they seem to get it really well. I sent them home with homework to post assess them on the following Wednesday when I came back, I was surprised when they turned in the homework on how well they

These students will just rely on their inadequacy of knowledge to conform to mediocrity and get sidetracked in their path. This is why the creativity in lesson plans is an essential requirement for any teachers.

As the education coordinator, I will first approach my subject matter as a system itself. I will design my materials first by identifying their purpose, then second their function and finally deriving the structure of the educational materials from the necessary functions. In developing educational materials, I will also want to familiarize myself with my students as I know that according to communication models they may interpret what I communicate differently than I intend due to how they “decode” (Nelson, Staggers, 2014). Once I have an understanding for what my students know, I will move forward by assessing their learning styles as I believe that is an incredibly valuable thing for an educator as well as a student to know. Now that I know what my students know and how

In regards to the perception of importance, I did not respond to any of them with a 1 or 2. In fact, I responded with a 4 the majority of the time. Not only do I see the significance of these competencies based on State Board for Educator Certification (SBEC), but also through my experience on multiple campuses and their direct impact on the campus culture and student achievement. When these competencies are followed and care is given to ensure you have a happy and productive staff, student achievement rises.

Then I build on that knowledge by working with the class on document A (see instructional material 1.1) then let the class work on the rest of the documents in pairs. Through this method student are shown the material, and the work is modeled for them giving students a better understanding of how to read the documents (Bruner). Allowing students to work in pairs allows for peer learning allowing students to work together, and for students who are accelerated in the class to help those who are struggling with the material (Dewey). This also me to walk around the room, and help groups who are struggling allowing for easier monitoring of progress towards the learning target. Lesson 2 starts by comparing, and contrasting FDR’s handling of Japanese Americans, and how Trump wants to handle immigrants (see instructional material 2.1).

Cassidy McIntyre William Van Wyck World History 9H 20 March, 2018 Judaism Project Script Rough Draft Hi everyone, as you all may know, my name is Cassidy McIntyre and today I will be talking about anti - semitism against Jews and how this affected the Jewish culture and the future of Europe. Judaism was originally founded in 3500 BC in the Middle East by a man named Abraham. Abraham grew up in a family that idolized more than one god. According to Jewish texts “Abram rejected his father’s religion from an early age and argued that the universe was the work of a single creator” (Pentateuch). Abraham was the first person to teach about the concept of there being a “one and only God”.

Common core is a set of standards for English and math to teach kids k-12 “Nationwide 43 states and the district of Columbia have adopted the common core standards” -Tully. Many people oppose the standards and so do I “Republicans showed the highest opposition 76% with 38% of democrats says they oppose the standards.” -Osborne. Common core should be discontinued because instead of teaching the course, it teaches the test, there is less flexibility for teachers to adapt to how the students need to be taught, and it does not prepare them for college. If the common core standards are implemented some states will have to take a step back because their standards are actually better than the common core standards.

I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.

Introduction In the teaching profession, exploring a relationship between reliability and validity gives profession educators an understanding of rather their tests/ assessments is reliable/ unreliable or valid/ invalid. In other words, to fully understand the relationship between the two concepts, the profession educators will definitely know the type of testing to measure the understanding of their students. If a teacher does not understand the two concepts and their relationship, that teacher will end up giving students unreliable tests throughout the school year. Therefore, profession educators should know the relationship between reliability and validity in order for them to survive in the teaching field in the future.
