Teachers Librarians, and counselors School Teachers-Kindergarten, Elementary, and Secondary Nature of the Work Working Conditions Employment Training ... Sources of Additional Information Nature of the Work The role of a teacher is changing from that of a lecturer or presenter to one of a facilitator or coach. Interactive discussions and "hands-on" learning are replacing rote memorization. For example, rather than merely telling students about science, mathematics, or psychology, a teacher might ask students to help solve a mathematical problem or perform a laboratory experiment and discuss how these apply to the real world. Similarly, a teacher might arrange to bring 3- and 4-year-olds into the classroom to demonstrate certain concepts of child psychology. As teachers move away from the traditional repetitive drill approaches, they are using more "props" or "manipulatives" to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, young students may be taught the concept of numbers or adding and subtracting by playing board games. As children get older, they may use more sophisticated materials such as tape recorders, science apparatus, or cameras. Classes are becoming less structured, and students are working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future work force is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and logically think through problems. Teachers provide the tools and environment for their students to develop these skills.

Yes Using Technology with Kindergarten Students A kindergarten teacher shares best practice examples of exciting activities she does using technology to enhance learning in her kindergarten classroom. By Chris Gathers have been teaching kindergarten for 30 years. I have taught all day every day kindergarten since 1989. I teach in a small Kansas town where the school district covers 400 square miles and the students come from diverse backgrounds. My elementary school has approximately 375 students in grades K-5 with three classes for each grade level. It is operated on a six day schedule to accommodate special classes for each classroom. Technology is one of the biggest and most exciting changes I have seen during my teaching career. In my classroom there are three Macintosh computers for student and teacher use. My students also have access to a lab equipped with 25 Macintosh computers. A knowledgeable paraprofessional staffs the lab. I teach my own lessons when my students are using this facility. Each lesson is 30 to 45 minutes long. Sometimes the lessons I teach take several sessions to master and sometimes they don't. It all depends on the group of children. Check out all of the Standards applicable to this story!

Complete lesson plan National Visual Art Standards The standards in this section describe the cumulative skills and knowledge expected of all students upon exiting grade 4. Students in the earlier grades should engage in developmentally appropriate learning experiences designed to prepare them to achieve these standards at grade 4. Determining the curriculum and the specific instructional activities necessary to achieve the standards is the responsibility of states, local school districts, and individual teachers. These standards provide a framework for helping students learn the characteristics of the visual arts by using a wide range of subject matter, symbols, meaningful images, and visual expressions, to reflect their ideas, feelings, and emotions; and to evaluate the merits of their efforts. The standards address these objectives in ways that promote acquisition of and fluency in new ways of thinking, working, communicating, reasoning, and investigating. They emphasize student acquisition of the most important and enduring ideas, concepts, issues, dilemmas, and knowledge offered by the visual arts. They develop new techniques, approaches, and habits for applying knowledge and skills in the visual arts to the world beyond school.

Contact Me Education rears disciples, imitators, and routinists, not pioneers of new ideas and creative geniuses. The schools are not nurseries of progress and improvement, but conservatories of tradition and unvarying modes of thought. ~ Ludwig von Mises Do You Need to Teach Kindergarten? Karen M. Gibson “What curriculum do you suggest for Kindergarten?” This is a question I am frequently asked by parents. It is also a question I find particularly difficult to provide a quick, easy response to. The truth is I do not believe that a curriculum is necessary for Kindergarten, but that usually is not the answer parents are looking for or expect. They are certain that Kindergarten is that magical time when suddenly what was “life” must become “education” and therefore needs to include workbooks, textbooks, and organized lessons. So they are hoping I will have ideas and suggestions for an organize course of study all laid out in black and white. Many parents have this rosy, magical, idealized vision of public school Kindergarten and believe they need to recreate that at home. My children attended public school kindergarten and believe me, there was nothing magical about it. Kindergarten is geared towards the lowest common denominator (surprised?). Any child that already knows their letter sounds, how to write the alphabet and numbers 0-9, and do simple addition like 2+2 = 4 is going to be a very bored child in Kindergarten.

Kindergarten Back to Planned Courses PHILOSOPHY OF COURSE: This course will introduce children to the world of art and artists while developing manual and perceptual skills. Careful attention will be made for aligning the content of the course to their natural developmental levels and to their past and present experiences. The course will provide opportunities for personal expression and creativity. The course is very child-centered and will aim at developing an intrinsic love for art and learning in general. Interpersonal skills and collaborative efforts with other children will round out their early experiences in school. PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATION: Evaluation is based on the observation of process and final product. The student's degree of competence in the technical skills associated with the processes of media, evidence of understanding and applying concepts associated with visual language in their own art products, and the visual and verbal literacy associated with aesthetics and criticism through oral responses will be compared to specific declared lesson objectives. For example: Can the student fold a piece of paper in half accurately?

Teachers, Kindergarten Job Outlook SD Worker Trend Workers Workers Starting Wage Range Average Wage Kindergarten teachers spend much of their time leading students in activities ranging from completing work papers or making art projects to leading music or games. Teachers generally prepare lessons, get materials ready for activities, grade papers, attend faculty meetings, and decorate bulletin boards, etc. after school hours. Workplace Examples Local Government Education Tribal Government Religious Organizations Working Conditions Kindergarten teachers spend much of their time standing, walking, stooping, kneeling or even sitting on the floor with students in order to participate with them. They may have to deal with all types of student behavior. Most teachers work a traditional two-semester, 10-month school year. Some teach summer sessions or take other summer jobs. Many enroll in college courses or special workshops during the summer to meet continuing education requirements for renewing their teaching certificate. Teaching is not a nine to five job. It requires a substantial amount of at-home work on evenings and weekends to prepare lessons, correct papers, etc. Working with kindergarten students can be especially taxing, since that age group is not yet used to the structure of a classroom and often have a very short attention span.

I have been teaching kindergarten since 1992 and I love it! I am a lifelong resident of Terre Haute and I am, myself, a product of the Vigo County School Corporation in which I now teach. Kindergarten is an exciting and wondrous time, full of new and meaningful experiences! The children in my classroom are busy learning and experimenting from the moment they arrive in the morning until they leave in the afternoon. I use a "hands on" approach in my classroom which I believe is the best way for children to learn - learn by doing! My students are constantly presented with opportunities to explore in areas such as math, science, art, social studies and language arts. Kindergarten is vital in helping to create a strong foundation for children as they begin their education. I am very honored and privileged to be a kindergarten teacher! back
