Leading makes use of many skills.... Effective Teaching For a patrol hike, Mike had been made responsible for bringing the hamburger buns. He got them in plenty of time and put them in the freezer to keep them fresh for Saturday. When the patrol reached its destination on the big day, everybody began pulling out their part of the patrol's lunch. It wasn't until Mike reached for the hamburger buns that he remembered that they were still home in the freezer! And there was just no way to get back or to get some substitutes. At the time it wasn't a laughing matter, but by the next meeting of the troop, Mike and his patrol leader Tom were having a good laugh as they told the story to Carl, the senior patrol leader. "What'd you learn from that?" Carl asked them. "Not to forget the hamburger buns!" was Mike's instant reply. "Sure," laughed Carl, "but is that all?" He seemed to be looking straight at Tom. "Well, I guess it was my fault I didn't check up on Mike. He agreed to bring the buns, and I let it go at that."

Improving classroom organization and management. http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/educatrs/presrvce/pe3lk60.htm

North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (1995) describes this program: Understanding the community and students' culture. Working with neighborhood children and their families. Understanding research on effective teaching. Improving classroom organization and management. Planning lessons that promote higher level thinking. Using positive behavior-management techniques. Linking students' prior knowledge, culture, and experiences with school lessons. Implementing the principles of interactive instruction. Improving reading comprehension by using culturally diverse literature. Analyzing personal change and setting new goals. The program is disseminated through LTICS Certified Trainers. During a 12-day training session (or a five-day and a seven-day session), certified trainers train local observers to collect observation data and train local student teachers and teachers to conduct seminars. LTICS trainers are available in 15 states. LTICS is designed for use with low-income, culturally diverse populations in school districts located near teacher-preparation colleges. The National Diffusion Network has approved the program for dissemination to all inner-city students in grades pre-K through 12. Evaluation studies indicate that 80 percent of student teachers who graduate from the Houston Teaching Academy chose to teach in schools serving diverse populations. Studies also indicate that student teachers demonstrate improved interactive instruction, organization, and behavior management skills. Students served by the Houston Teaching Academy have achieved increasingly higher scores on achievement tests each year. Those interested in adopting the program are required either to hire an LTICS Certified Trainer or send local personnel for training to become a Certified Trainer." (pp. 4-5)

28. UnderstandingPrejudice.org: Teaching Tips For College Instructors Other Principles for effective teaching. Although by no means exhaustive, here are several other principles for effective teaching Relevance. http://www.understandingprejudice.org/teach/hightips.htm

document.write(''); Teaching Tips for College Instructors This page contains tips on how to teach college and graduate students about topics related to prejudice, discrimination, and social justice. Course Preparation Be clear in your goals. Think carefully about what your educational goals are, and make sure that your course reflects these goals. For example, if your main goal is to teach students about prejudice research, it makes sense to focus on theories and studies. If, however, your goal is to help students understand their own prejudices or learn ways to reduce prejudice in society, you might consider a more personal approach that includes hands-on exercises and field experiences. Don't reinvent the wheel. Look through other people's course syllabi for ideas that you might adapt to suit your purposes (with credit to others when appropriate). Read books and articles that describe classroom exercises and offer advice on teaching about prejudice. Ask experienced colleagues for feedback on your course syllabus and teaching ideas. Choose top-notch course materials.

EDF 103 Assignment One – The Human Relations Incident (HRI) Background Since you are enrolled in this class you are probably considering a career in education. The purpose of this class is to get you to think about education careers and find answers to questions such as: "What are the characteristics associated with effective teaching?" "What makes one educator effective and a second not?" And most importantly, "Do I have the attributes that will allow me to become an effective teacher?" Being a teacher is not the right career choice for everyone. Just as certain talents and interests are needed to become an accountant, nurse, fire fighter or engineer, there are essential characteristics for becoming an effective educator. Most experts agree that the essential ingredients for being effective teachers include: a significant knowledge base, teaching skills, and dispositions (if you are not sure what dispositions are, don’t worry we will get to that in the course). This course will focus on what education careers are like and about the dispositions needed to be an effective educator. Our main goal is to help you discover if you have “the dispositions to teach.”

FACULTY TEACHING SUPPORT The Teaching Portfolio: A Tool for Seeking Employment and the Improvement of Practice The idea of a Teaching Portfolio grows out of the conception that teaching is an integral part of academic scholarship, which also includes research, public and professional service. A Teaching Portfolio includes both work samples of one's teaching (teaching plans, videotapes, evaluations, etc.) and reflective commentary on those samples which help explicate their meaning within a specific context. By beginning a teaching portfolio as a graduate student, an individual gains in two very important professional areas. First, it is a very effective and comprehensive way for an individual to document what is unique about one's approach to teaching which can be used during performance evaluations and job hunting. Second, the process of building a portfolio encourages the improvement of practice because it fosters the idea that teaching is scholarly work which requires data collection and reflective analysis and synthesis of that data. The process of building a portfolio can in itself improve one's teaching.

32. Technology Counts: Teaching The Teachers Technology training would be more effective if teachers themselves were involved in planning it, but they usually have no more than a token role, says Larry http://www.edweek.org/sreports/tc/teach/te-n.htm

Read about library media specialists' role in technology, "The 'Underused' Resource." See the accompanying data table, "Involving Teachers," reflecting by state the amount and kinds of computer instruction teachers receive. Money spent on school technology could go to waste if teachers don't know how to use it and integrate it into the curriculum. But, more often than not, adequate training is hard to come by. Over the past two years, Duncan Hollinger has gone from having no computers in his classroom to having four. He's also gained Internet access and acquired a printer. But he's still teaching pretty much the same way he always has. "If you have 30 students and four stations, all of a sudden you have to do a lot of redesigning of how to present the material," says Hollinger, a music teacher at LaSalle Middle School in Niagara Falls, N.Y. "You have to change your style of teaching to accommodate or individualize." Percentage of teachers in all public schools regularly using advanced telecommunications for teaching, professional development, and curriculum development. So far, Hollinger says, no one has showed him how. Although the district taught him how to use various computer programsand even provided him a laptop to practice withlittle of that training addressed ways of weaving technology into daily instruction. And he doesn't have the planning time to revamp his lesson plans.

As a program accredited by NCATE, the IU School of Education is required to offer proof that teacher education graduates have acquired in-depth knowledge of subject matter and can explain important principles and concepts in the classroom. Archived July, 2001 The following originally appeared as a letter in The Indianapolis Star, February, 2001. Reprinted by permission of the author. Knowing How to Teach Is Critical to Learning BY DR GERARDO GONZALEZ, Dean of the Indiana University School of Education in Bloomington, IN In a February 1 (2001) column, George Will blamed poor teacher training for the plight of education in out nation’s schools. What is the point of putting more teachers in the classrooms, he asks, if students will merely be taught by inadequately trained teachers? A good teacher, he asserts, needs training only in his or her subject matter, and a degree in education is needless and possibly even detrimental. At Indiana University, we take the education of teachers very seriously. Teachers must be skilled at teaching. They must be able to motivate their students to learn, to plan challenging and engaging lessons and to organize their curricula to ensure that students learn what they really need to know. Education students learn how to do this in their methods courses, through the use of instructional technology, in internships at schools, and through field-based courses in schools and community organizations.

Back to Publications Teaching Our Teachers to Teach Teaching Our Teachers to Teach Methodology; Results; Key Concepts; Discussion and Conclusion; ... References A SIECUS Study on Training and Preparation for HIV/AIDS Prevention and Sexuality Education (Published in the SIECUS Report, Volume 28, Number 2 - December 1995/January 1996) The teaching of comprehensive sexuality education from kindergarten through 12th grade begins with the proper training of the teachers. Too often, they do not have the skills, knowledge, or inclination to teach such courses. Few have received training in sexuality education, and even fewer have received certification as sexuality educators. Colleges and universities need to provide training in HIV/AIDS prevention and sexuality education for pre-service teachers, and must ensure that this training is comprehensive. To assess such efforts, SIECUS developed this study of undergraduate teacher preparation programs and their ability to provide sexuality education based on the six key concepts outlines in its Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education: Kindergarten - 12th Grade.

36. The Teaching Principle effective teaching requires deciding what aspects of a task to highlight, how to organize and orchestrate the work of students, what questions to ask students http://standards.nctm.org/document/chapter2/teach.htm

Home Purchase Search Full Member Access The Teaching Principle Effective mathematics teaching requires understanding what students know and need to learn and then challenging and supporting them to learn it well. Students learn mathematics through the experiences that teachers provide. Teachers must know and understand deeply the mathematics they are teaching and understand and be committed to their students as learners of mathematics and as human beings. There is no one "right way" to teach. Nevertheless, much is known about effective mathematics teaching. Selecting and using suitable curricular materials, using appropriate instructional tools and techniques to support learning, and pursuing continuous self-improvement are actions good teachers take every day. The teacher is responsible for creating an intellectual environment in the classroom where serious engagement in mathematical thinking is the norm. Effective teaching requires deciding what aspects of a task to highlight, how to organize and orchestrate the work of students, what questions to ask students having varied levels of expertise, and how to support students without taking over the process of thinking for them. Effective teaching requires continuing efforts to learn and improve. Teachers need to increase their knowledge about mathematics and pedagogy, learn from their students and colleagues, and engage in professional development and self-reflection. Collaborating with otherspairing an experienced teacher with a new teacher or forming a community of teachersto observe, analyze, and discuss teaching and students' thinking is a powerful, yet neglected, form of professional development.

37. ASEE Prism - Sept 2001 - Teaching - Learning To Teach Examples are the National effective teaching Institute connected to ASEE’s annual conferences, NSF summer workshops, workshops at professional society http://www.asee.org/prism/sept01/teaching.cfm

- By Phillip Wankat and Frank Oreovicz For graduate students, the training should begin when they are teaching assistants (TAs). Schools should strive to make this an effective learning experience for the TA by requiring an ongoing seminar and encouraging discussions of teaching with the professor in charge. A more thorough approach is a class on teaching that covers a variety of methods, including testing and grading procedures and learning theories. Such a course can provide the background for conducting educational research in engineering education (see a description of my course on educational methods in engineering at http://unitops.ecn.purdue.edu/~che685g1/ Additionally, a teaching practicum can be made available for interested Ph.D. candidates who want to be student teachers, receiving supervision and frequent feedback on their teaching from an experienced professor. Most professors have not had the opportunity for any kind of instruction in pedagogy. They probably learned to teach through on-the-job training, which provides practical know-how but does not build the theoretical background required to become a professional teacher. On-the-job training is the most effective when the teacher reflects on the experience after each class, asks for feedback from students, and discusses teaching with colleagues. Other methods include:
