A teacher’s role

A teacher’s role in my opinion is someone that has to be opened minded to everything that can be used in the teaching process like Technology. Blogs can be used to share and give information with fellow teachers or with students that you are teaching. This year when I started this class I have never heard of blogging and I was having so much trouble figuring it out that it was getting to be very frustrating to me. I was at the point of giving up because I was so far behind, and if it wasn’t for our teacher giving me encouragement I would dropped the class. So being a teacher you have to be very encouraging, helpful, and you sometimes have to push some students to learn. As a role of a teacher you are a guide, a friend, and a role model you don’t give up you try harder to expand the minds of your students to learn new ways using technology.

9. When, how, and by what means can you evaluate your own instruction? In addition, can you determine whether your students have become self-evaluative?

1. Well you should evaluate your own instruction in my opinion on the first time after using it. This way you can ask the students if they were able to understand it, or if that it was explained clear enough for them. After doing that you can take notes and use those to correct or edit your instructions or your lesson plan.

8. What types of community-centered activities have you used in the past? What made them community-centered?

1. Well that is hard to say most of the kids are infants so the way I communicate to them is at their level we use picture cards with words to help them understand what the word means. Also we do curriculum plans for each classroom they are called Developmental Milestones and they go by their age. This helped them and we know what they need to work on and what they are not ready to work on.

7.) Why is community centeredness important to student learning?

1. Well community centeredness is important for giving the students confident so they are not scared to answer or ask any questions. This also will help the teacher so they know that they can make sure to let the students know that the teachers are there to help them with their needs. When students are aware that we are there to help them in any way we can they feel a lot better and more at ease.

5. What are the two types of assessment that should be included in assessment-centered instruction, and how are they different?

1. Summative Assessments are done after a cretin period of time or after you have done a monthly lesson plan. This type of assessment is to find out what they have overall learned from the lesson that was taught and is a graded assessment (test). Formative Assessment you do not have to grade them for they are considered as a practice test. These types of assessments will help the teacher with finding out if they need to change how they are teaching the children in order to help the students gain all the information needed.

3. Discuss the elements that knowledge-centered instruction should contain.

1. The element in the knowledge center is to make sure you have several really good facts about the subject or project being talked about. As well as they will need Ideas that make sense and follow the guidelines, concepts and principles, but at the same time everything has to be in order and follow the same flow line of the entire subject.  

1. Discuss the elements that learner-centered instruction should contain.

1. The learner center should contain information the student will be interested in like their background knowledge, social and culture history, and interests. When were introduce to learning social or cultural things that we are intrested in we attend to want to learn more. As an example my grandfather was a full blooded French men and as I grew older I wanted to learn more about our cultural and the food they eat. Somethings I do not follow like they allow theitr children to drink wine at a young age at dinner time, I do not believe in that. This is just certin ways on eplaining some of the elements can be used.
