...As an educator, it is critical to always be aware of the students in your environment and to recognize each as a diverse learner. Often teachers lose focus that while we are teaching to the group, we need to be able to reach the individual. First we need to realize that a diverse learner simply means the characters that make each person unique. Each person comes into the classroom with their own sets of fears, accomplishments, and abilities and even though you teach to the group, you must embrace each student. For example, a student with attention issue may need to sit in the front to stay focused while the organized student could be in the back and still stay on task. Teachers start each year with new students and need to embrace each student’s...

...that the lights had been turned off and the blinds were closed so that the learners could clearly read my presentation. When the presentation was over I turned the lights back on so that they could read and complete my feed back with adequate lighting. I ensured that I was at facing all my learners and that the learners were facing the Smart Board. This was to ensure that when I was addressing the learners then could see and hear me clearly and vice versa. This layout also helped when feeding back or answering questions. ‘In a presentation, the main thing is that the presenter and his or her visual aids can be seen, (Truelove 2006, p147)’. ‘People should be sitting fairly close to each other, ideally in a circle. (Truelove 2006, p151)’. This also ensured that whilst observing the presentation learners were sat comfortably and facing both the Smart Board and myself, minimising the need for too much movement and disruption. ‘The discussion leader controls the discussions by asking questions that are replied to by group members directing the response to the leader. (Truelove 2006, p152)’. ‘Look at your audience from the beginning. Smile at them. Do not, however, fix on one ‘friendly face’, but rather scan the audience. This creates empathy, and also lets you read their reaction to what you are saying. (Truelove, 2006, p137)’. The room was all also set at a control temperature so that the learners were comfortable and not over or under heated. This helped ensure they were...

The second of the forms is designed for evaluating websites and Web pages that contain interactive materials. You may begin by asking the following questions: • Does the software/website offer anything extra that cannot be done in more traditional ways, e.g. with pencil and paper or chalk and talk? • Do you intend to use the software/website for whole-class teaching, e.g. using a computer plus projector and wall screen / interactive whiteboard? • Do you intend to use the software/website in a computer lab, i.e. where each learner works at an individual computer? • How do you intend to integrate the software/website into your teaching?

...Question A – TEACHING CONTEXT I currently teach at an inner city private school. I teach English Home Language to Grades Ten, Eleven and Twelve. The school is relatively well – resourced and provides the necessary infrastructure to facilitate learning. Classrooms are equipped with the sufficient number of desks and chairs. All learners and educators are issued with the appropriate resources such as textbooks and study guides to achieve the outcomes of the curriculum as determined by the Department of Basic Education. Periods are 40 minutes long. A total of four hours per cycle is dedicated to the learning of the home language. The majority of learners are from a lower to medium economic background. The school’s language of teaching and learning is English. Consequently, all learners are registered as English Home Language learners. In reality and for most learners, English is their second or even third language. Many of the learners had their actual mother – tongue as medium of instruction at a primary education level. After two years of secondary education ( Grades 8 and 9 ) this aspect of the context, for both learner and school, often remains a challenge. This assignment will focus on the Grade 12 group. 2. Question B – PASSAGE I have chosen an article ( DEAR JOBLESS GRADUATE ) written by Doctor Jonathan Jansen which appeared in THE TIMES of 21 June 2012. The article forms part of the regular column THE BIG READ. A copy is attached...

II. To prepare a study report on any product/service in comparison with another one that is comparable from technical specification to customer satisfaction. III. To present with the aid of slides (6 to 10) about the study conducted above to the rest of the class in about 10 minutes with the use of print for information and slides for graphs, pictures, images, video and animations etc. Note to teachers: • A teacher may guide only 6 to a maximum of ten students per year. This is to ensure active participation of each learner. • All 96 hours need NOT be contact hours by the teacher. Students may be encouraged to do activities on their own with peer group to ensure higher level of participation. • There are ten different tasks to be completed in the course of 96 hours. On completion of each task, record the result and the marks along with the initials of the learner for future reference, inspection and evaluation. • A few activities are suggested under each task. Teachers can improvise on the list and add more activities...

...Success: Never Standing Still. We hope that those who attended will be able to use the resources and activities themselves and that it will be stimulating as well as useful for those who were unable to attend. As with all of Dialogue NW activities this event was more than a training session telling people how to do it – instead we wanted to provide a space for critical discussion and reflection. Our focus was on the learners and what success meant to them, acknowledging that this may be very different to official concerns and discourses around recruitment, retention and achievement. If we start from the learner, then success is more about the journey than crossing an imaginary finishing line: it is about the hurdles, the timing and in some cases the stamina to finish what might feel like a gruelling race. It also allows us to appreciate that the journey is not always straightforward and it is often easier when travelling with others. It is much more than the bullet point statements often used to describe or monitor success. We started the day by thinking how learner and institutional perspectives on what counts as success may be different. Comments and discussion from participants suggested that although we know about these differences we often get drawn into organisational or official views of success, putting our own professional knowledge on the back boiler. People felt that professional...

...CHAPTER 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction Study habits simply mean how students manage their time in such a way that can review and study their lessons in school regularly. It becomes a habit or way of life of the student just like brushing their teeth every after eating, taking a bath every day, and other activities that they are doing. A student who developed their study habits could not sleep or go to school without studying their lessons. A student can be more intelligent and have a self – confidence in class compared to those who do not developed their study habits. A student who does not have a good study habits cannot do well in class recitation, daily quizzes, and school demonstration since they did not study and review the lessons learned. Good study habits are the tool to success. Without well developed study habits, a student cannot perform well in class, and surely, they cannot reach their ambitions in life. Nowadays, many student are engaged in computer games just like DOTA; cutting classes, watching pornography, excessive playing on their gadgets like their cell phones, iPods, computers, PSP, and other devices they have, and worst of all is that they engage in vices such as illegal drugs, gambling, and crimes and even prostitution. Other students use their intelligence in foolishness and not in good deeds. Students should know how to manage their time wisely and keep their selves away from bad traits and vices. They should serve as models to...

.... Supporting the Needs of All Learners Shiffon Hooper EDU697 Capstone: A Project Approach Dr. Margaret Broderick April 3, 2015 Support the Needs of All Learners With the advancement of technology in education it has provided more opportunity for learners of all backgrounds: students from diverse economic situations, students with special needs and students with different backgrounds. Gardner (1996) explains his eight theories of intelligences as the way we learn and adapt. We are all different and have different learning styles. Some are visual and others learn by doing. As humans we process information differently (Lever-Duffy & McDonald, 2011). Redesign EDU648 Lesson Technology helps us learn in a different way other than the traditional textbooks. Online lets us learn in a different way than the traditional brick and mortar schools. You will see my blog and see the changes made to the re-design paper with many new ways to learn through technology and how technology supports each learning styles. One size does not fit all anymore, we are a diverse world and have many different learning styles and our culture and environment reflects in our learning. Many children with learning disabilities may struggle with social situations and behavior problems. Challenges It was challenging to find the right lesson to re-design. Going back and reading each lesson took time and I was undecided what to choose. The original lesson was more about multiple...
