Hey, guys this week’s blog is on lesson clarity. Over the past few weeks of attending my scheduled aided I have been able to observe many ways the teacher uses lesson clarity. In some cases while the teacher is reading it seems as though she is using social interaction, in that she involves the students by asking questions about the story she reads. Sometimes their responses will be more on a social level, which is why I believe it is social interaction. In some ways she also uses funds of knowledge in allowing her students to write about things they know. While teaching her students to spell she encourages scaffolding, by helping when the students need the help and still allowing them to do the spelling. It’s very interesting to see some of these practices implemented into her teaching strategy.
It's great the you were able to observe three distinct styles of learning theories being use. I personally believe that using the students' funds of knowledge and scaffolding are extremely important in teaching students effectively. In our class we learned about various styles of teaching practices that teachers use, such as contructivism, inclusive curriculum, and de-tracking. I wonder if your teacher has used those as well, and if so, if she does as often as the styles you noted. I would assume teachers have a personal preference, but should we as teachers use only certain methods, or try various approaches?
ReplyDeletemy teacher uses similar techniques. Her most effective style is de-tracking. do you think your teacher could implement this into their style?
