...to what Angelou is trying to convey. The article shows how a teacher changed her attitude towards teaching her students who are non-English majors. She learned to open her mind to new ideas to get a better result. Cohen persuades us that students who are not English majors can become engaged with the text that they might otherwise be bored with by using her humility, examples of her life experience,...

...Chapter I Introduction Research Background Teachers are educators that teach us what we must learn. They are one of the most inspiring people not only in school but also within our nation. They help us to achieve our goals and dreams in life, and the ones who shape every person’s character. We consider them as our second parents who guide and lead us to the right path. And it truly proves that all educators are such a magnificent person. According to Benito (2000), the best hope for education lies with the teacher; his education is of primary importance. She explained that the quality of education the teacher has to transmit to his students largely depends on the quality of his education. The teacher’s best teaching device is herself (Adams, 1994). It follows then that in order to be an effective communication of knowledge; the teacher should have sufficient background of the subject matter that he/she teaches. In Teaching, Every educator must master his/her lesson plan. And everything that a teacher will teach to his student must be based on her own learning and experiences. Every teacher has their own way of providing knowledge to their students. They have their techniques in teaching for the student to better understand everything about their lesson. There are so many factors that affect students’ performance, and it includes the way of how the teachers communicate to their students (Cuevas, 1991). Longman (1996), emphasized that the instructor’s behaviour affects...

...The Cure for an Ailing School System John Taylor Gatto, a former teacher of 30 years, once said, “The primary goal of real education is not to deliver facts but to guide students to the truths that will allow them to take responsibility for their lives” (Gatto). The author’s distrust in the American school system is clearly evident in this quote. We live in a world where the level of education you have is directly related to individual success. Gatto believes school is more detrimental than favorable and does not teach children what is truly necessary to succeed in the world today. Students and teachers are bored with the curriculum being taught in many schools. The curriculum should change in order to appeal to both students and teachers. The curriculum being taught in many schools is the most criticized aspect of modern day schooling. According to Indiana University's High School Survey of Student Engagement, which reached more then 80,000 students, less then two percent of students said they are never bored in high school (Bryner). This was not a national survey but the statistics are rather shocking. The current curriculum is considered uninteresting, irrelevant, and to Gatto’s point, boring. After enduring 12 years of public school, I can say personally that the curriculum was in fact boring and irrelevant. The curriculum did not bring about thought provoking conversations or debates. It did not allow the students to be interactive, which leads...

...Pedagogy of the oppressed Chapters 2 and 3 When I was in high school, and in elementary some of the teachers were teaching us several topics that I found uninteresting, boring and irrelevant. I’ve been always thinking during those times that what they are trying to teach us is something important. But, I always notice that those things that they taught us have no connection in reality. I know that maybe there is, but they are just narrating all the information and we students try to absorb all the information without knowing its relevance. The treatment is always one-sided, the teachers are superior and we are inferior. As I’ve read the Pedagogy of the oppressed Chapters 2 and 3, I’ve realized that this unfair and unjust relationship between students and teachers is a form of oppression. In addition, this banking concept of education makes students an object like a mere container of information. To resolve this kind of oppression and for us students to grow and develop, there must be a good communication that would break the faction between the students and the teachers. It is through dialogue that this ideal relationship would be achieved. The banking concept of education is a promotion of dehumanization and love for a dead development. Some teachers (conscious or unconscious) are promoting this kind of concept about education. For them to impose their status as a teacher –superior among students, they teach students by giving them new topics that is foreign to their minds...

...Task In about 1200 to 1500 words. Discuss ONE principle of teaching science. Then, discuss the implications for teachers. Further, suggest ways teachers can motivate learners to love science. Introduction The name science is derived from the Latin word scienta for knowledge. The nominal form of the verb to know. Science can generally be defined as an integrated subject of accumulated and established information gained by experiments and observation. It is a field of study that is concerned with discovering and describing the natural and physical components of the world we live in. Science is what we live in, it helps us to understand and shape our daily live as we interact with our environment. The question and answer process lies at the heart of knowing and doing science. So as teachers we should create an atmosphere that is open and positive for our pupils when in the science...

...They try hard to learn what school offers. They take pride not simply in earning the formal indicators of success (grades), but in understanding the material and incorporating or internalizing it in their lives (Newmann, 1992)." Engagement involves the active participation of students in the classrooms as well as in the teaching process. It has also been described as the willingness of to participate in routine school activities, such as attending class, submitting required work, and following teachers' directions in class. All these point to one thing the teaching process can be a very “tedious and boring one”!. So it’s important that we find creative ways to actively involve the students. If the regular teaching style can be “tedious and boring” to the young ones, how about if you are having to teach adults. Teaching adults can be much more tasking and requires more efforts on the part of the teacher. Adults easily get uninterested (not any fault of theirs) especially when the teacher goes on and on without asking for their inputs or engaging them in discussions. This is because the adult mind has only a few hours for assimilation after which the brain will need to take a rest before it can take in more. It is also a well-known fact that learning by association helps assimilation, so introducing activities outside the subject being taught helps to keep adult students engaged and alert. Here are few things I do to keep students engaged and interested during my trainings which...

...Professor Oxford. This exercise consists of asking students to put in the right order the pieces of writing that are cut and separated. The teacher could give them the structure of a text as a clue; nevertheless, they have to think about how to put the given script in the right form. First of all you need to have the materials, they could be as simple as you imagine. For instance, books, newspapers, a recipe, advertisements, a magazine, essay, whatever piece of writing is acceptable but it has to be cut into pieces. That means that it has to be separated in different paragraphs. Even though teachers have to optimize their time since there are much content to teach but few hours to do it, do not worry about the time because it will depend on your materials and how long the text is. Be careful about the topic, because you do not want your students to get bored. Also, the difficulty...

...Debate topic: HOMEWORK IS A WASTE OF TIME. Introduction: We all hate homework, but is it really important that we do it? Is doing homework good for us or is it simply a waste of time? This debate sets out the arguments on both sides .Homework is an assignment that students are given to do at home. It might be a continuation of classwork or a new piece of work. It may also be preparation for the next class. The amount of homework school students get varies a lot not only from country to country, or from school to school, but often from day to day. For most the amount of time spent on homework gets longer as we go through our school lives. At the start of primary school we get almost no homework but it is often several hours a day by the time we finish secondary school. The most important thing in this debate is not so much how much time is spent on homework but whether that time is wasted. If it is time well spent then having a lot of homework to do may not be a bad thing. The debate should therefore consider what else school children would do with that time. Another angle would be to look at whether school could replace homework with something that makes better use of time. For example in Britain the education secretary (the member of the government who controls education across the whole country) wants schools to scrap homework and instead have longer days in school. The affirmative: Homework teaches us to learn on our own The main aim of education is to prepare us for the...

...5 skills of a teacher to come up with effective board displays? Skills teachers need to create an effective board display could include: Creativity. Instructional content can be dry and boring in a classroom setting. Creative teachers try to present concepts and content in an interesting way.Visual skills. Teachers are somewhat like interior designers; they must be able to visualize the presentation and impact they want to create, then apply those to the display.Organizational skills. This goes along with #2, but organization includes comparing and contrasting, grouping, and arranging content in a meaningful way.Communication. Teachers know that words combined with visual content can often communicate more than words alone. As well, the teacher must be a good communicator.Minimalistic views. Good teachers know they must minimize content to the basic building blocks they want to teach. Rather than a display aimed at students who understand the most, the best, or the easiest, the display would be geared to include students who understand the least, the poorest, and the hardest.

...you learn today?” and most students have the typical answer of “Nothing” or “School is boring”. This needs to change. Students need to be more excited to share what they have learned with others and have a more positive attitude about their learning environment. With a positive attitude a student would become more open minded to new learning concepts and retain more information overall. If teachers planned more hands on activities for their students, class would become more enjoyable. Most kids don't enjoy sitting at a desk for anywhere from 45-78 minutes, taking notes and occasionally raising their hand to answer a question if they happen to actually be paying attention to the lesson. What's the point of teaching if no one's gonna pay attention? With an activity to get students up and moving for several minutes it would increase awareness and give the students that extra boost of energy to pay attention and retain the information being taught. Teachers can plan games to play that relate to what is being taught or they can have students get together and...

...cell phones can be turned into something useful in the classroom. My first reason is that some schools/classrooms cannot access all of the technology needed for that subject but a cell phone can get you tons of online learning activities. (ex: an online website, timer/stopwatch, the news, getting inspiration/ideas, ect.) “At Melrose High School, for example, science students use a physics app to collect acceleration data and measure sound intensity, and English students discuss literature on their smartphones. In Burlington, high school Spanish students practice language skills on their iPads by recording their speech and playing it back.” (Boston Globe) “74% of teachers say that technology motivates students to learn. 73% of teachers say that technology helps them respond to a variety of learning styles. 69% of teachers say that technology allows them to "do much more than ever before" for their students.” (pbs) So there you have it, my first piece of evidence. Technology can do so much more with students in the classroom than ever before. It can have greater impacts on the learning style than basic/traditional learning. My second reason is that students can also work on class projects or online homework that can be accessed by a device during class time or free time in school. “Liz Kolb ( an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Education) explains. “Part of it is because it’s hard to fight the tidal wave and there’s so many students with cell phones. The...

...A large part of the American public school system relies on testing in order to test students’ knowledge and learning, but how accurate are these tests in measuring learning and are these test beneficial to learning? These standardized tests may actually do more harm, than good to students’ education. The first problem with standardized testing is that they only measure whether a student can perform well on a test on one specific day. “High-stakes tests are unfair to many students. Some students simply do not test well. Many students are affected by test anxiety or do not show their learning well on a standardized test, resulting in inaccurately lower scores”(Fairtest). Some students may be better test takers than others and therefore may...

...well as I wanted to. My grades were not something i was so happy about. I was the kid that my friends wouldn't see everyday in class and I didn't really care too much when it was time to study. Now as I start my new journey into the college life I know it’s going to be a challenge and I'm going to have to change in some ways to prepare myself for success such as not missing class, being able to make the time to try understand what the teacher is teaching, and most important complete any assignments that may be assigned for homework or class work. The first way I'm going to prepare myself for college is to keep good attendance. When I think back to my high school days the one thing I remember was skipping class or not being able to wake up early enough in the morning to make it to school. In order to break out this habit I would have to do a few things. One reason why I didn’t go to class in high school was because it was boring and after awhile going became pointless. So to begin with, I would have to tell myself over that school might be boring at times but going is important for my future and to my parents. In addition to reminding myself about the importance I would also have to fight through any sickness that may occur because missing one day of class, is one class too many. With the speed that college moves there is no way I can afford to miss a day of class. Missing one day of class is like missing three days of class work and I rather not put myself in a big hole that I...

...Just like all the students in the whole world, I also have a favourite teacher whom I respect and try to follow his teachings all the time as far as possible. The name of my favourite teacher is Nurul Huda Abul Monsur. He used to teach us Bangladesh studies. During his course I realised and even now I believe that, he had been an effective manager as he always thought about his always students and their success rather than focussing on his own achievements and reputation. He always been and will be an effective manager to me because: • Firstly, my teacher had an extraordinary leading skill; he could lead the class very efficiently. He could actually motivate us to study his course although Bangladesh study was quiet boring. He could communicate with his entire student and direct the class successfully and made a perfect study environment. • Secondly, he could control the class without any difficulties as he used to monitor that his students are focussing on his class lectures. He used to ensure that all the class activities are going as planned and the betterment of his students is his only goal. This monitoring activity of my teacher is a Mintzberg Managerial role. • Moreover my teacher was a very good negotiator, which falls under the Mintzberg Managerial role. He always negotiated with us before taking any decisions such as taking quizzes, mid-term or final exam dates, assignment submission etc. He always made sure that we are all comfortable of his decisions that he used...
