I believe that the elements of effective instruction are planning, instruction that builds on the principles of learning, having goals, and providing specific examples. According to Chapter 12, you need to plan to teach effectively. There are several steps that the book describes as planning for effective teaching. Those steps include: 1. Selecting topics that are important for the students 2. Specifying learning objectives 3. Preparing and organizing learning activities to help students reach the objectives 4. Planning assessments to measure amount students have learned 5. Ensuring instruction and assessments are aligned to learning objectives. Having specific examples are important when teaching. Examples should relate to the students. In the text, a teacher used the example of cakes and pizzas to study fractions. Students can easily relate to these examples because they have seen and eaten cake and pizza and they can relate to bigger and smaller pieces of a whole when it comes to food. Effective teaching goes hand in hand with caring. If a teacher cares, that teacher will try hard to have the entire class meet learning objectives and use specific examples to achieve those learning objectives.
I believe that the elements of effective instruction are that the teachers find what type of instruction works best for their classroom. Some classes might like and learn best from lecture-discussion and some might enjoy direct instruction. I think that instruction is very effective for the students when they have a good relationship with their teacher. Effective instruction is when the teachers pick which topics will work best in their classroom. The teachers should be prepared for class and be organized with an assessment plan. It is really up to the teacher to decide how effective his or her instruction will be. I just believe that the teacher should make the lessons and activities fun and enjoyable for the students.
I believe that effective instruction is not only different for every classroom, but different for every student. All students learn differently and a teacher needs to show the students a concept in different ways so that they may all be successful in their learning. I also believe that is means to have possitive expectations for the students because the more you believe that a student can do, the more they will. Your instruction also needs to be well thought out by selecting good topics. A teacher needs to act like they are excited about teaching the topic so that the students are excited about learning the topic. The tests in the class need to be showing not only what the students have learned but how well the teacher has taught. When giving examples in class, be sure that the class can relate because if they cannot, the lesson may be lost on them. This will be different for every classroom and every student and you may need to come up with several examples to make a connection with everyone in the class.
I believe the elements of effective instruction are careful planning, choosing topics that are important for students to know, preparing activites and coming up with different approaches that will help students learn certain things, keeping assessments to record students learning progress, and having clear communication with the students.
I believe that effective instruction consists of planning. In chapter 12, it talks about organizing your learning activities. This is important because if you don't know how your going to teach something, how are the students supposed to know. Having specific examples are important as well. You should relate objects that students are familiar with to the problem to help them learn. For example, one teacher in chapter 12 used pizza. I'm sure everyone of those students have see a pizza because it is a common food.
I believe that the most important elements of effective instruction are well-planned lessons that can be demonstrated or taught in different ways to benefit the different learning styles of the students. The instructions should be well-planned with positive expectations that are clearly stated. The teacher should teach the way he or she is most comfortable, taking into consideration the diversity of the learners. The lesson should be organized so that all materials are ready, the transition time is short and smooth, and the teacher should be able to explain the subject in a variety of ways that makes sense to the students.
I feel that the elements of effective instruction include many, many different things. Some of the most important elements include: organization and planning, keeping your lesson plans fun and interesting, and preparation. You must pick topics that the students need to know and what is important for them to study. You must personally decide what is best for your class and for yourself. Another very important thing is knowing the learning style of your students. You must keep things fun in order to keep their attention, but also be interested in learning more about the topic. Overall, I think that it is up to the teacher, how hard he or she wants to work to effectively come across to their students.
I believe that the elements of effective instruction are coming up with a good daily plan that will work well with that class. I also believe that effective instruction is teaching the way you think your class learns best. if it means lecturing all day then that way works, but if you believe that your class works better by doing hands on things like group work then that is the way to go. A teacher has to come up with a different approach in teaching depedning on the student.
I believe effective instructions are different for every class. Not every class will take in information the same way so it is important to give instructions in a way each class can interpret and understand what needs to be done. Although every class is different I believe in general effective instruction should have clear and precise communications with the students, including goals for the students, and providing specific examples for the student to base off.
An effective insturction to me is when the teacher finds the perfect balance for thier specific class. Not every class is ever the same. A good teacher is willing to adjust to the needs of the class and find what is most important to teach and how to teach it. A teacher also needs to understand that every student is unique and must find what works for most of the students but yet be able to help with everyone if extra help is needed
i think an effective teacher is one that plans ahead and knows the students learning abilities. if the classroom is full of students who are hands on learners, the teacher needs to make sure he/she is not teaching only by worksheets. they need to know the students strengths and weaknesses. they also need to pick a topic students enjoy aside from the curriculum. an effective teacher needs to be organized in order to keep all the students on track.
I think some effective instruction would be things as, planing interesting activities, giving rewards for doing good jobs. Always being one step ahead incase something was to fail or plans fell through then you have a backup. Colorful classrooms, specific learning objectives, goals.
The elements of effective instruction are feedback, examples, hands-on learning, and organization. When a teacher gives feedback to their students, they are letting their students know how they are doing in the classroom. By giving examples, it gives students something to relate to so that they can further their learning. With hands-on learning, students get involved in the lessons and get more out of them. When a teacher is organized, there is less stress in the classroom and more things can be completed quickly and easily.
I think the most important and effective instruction ideas involve organized planning, instruction that is based on the needs of the students in the class, creating goals with the class and effectively working to reach them, and providing specific examples to the class. I think the most important thing for a teacher to do is to effectively communicate with his/her class, and if the teacher does not have a good understanding of who the individual students are and what their families are like, a teacher is not going to effectively be able to reach the child in any way. Every child comes from different circumstances and learns differentely. That is why I think it is so important to involve students in the goals, procedures and instruction. Our goal, as teachers, is to effectively teach and if we are not reaching out to our students, how can we effectively teach?
In order to be an effective teacher, I will focus on using my experiences as a vehicle for teaching along with extensively planning my lessons and allowing for opportunities for my students to provide feedback. I want to show my students how personal experiences play a role in growing and learning. By using my personal experience and prior knowledge in the classroom, I will be acting as a model of how they can utilize their own experiences throughout life. Setting aside ample time for planning is a must in order to be an effective teacher. In Chapter 12 of the textbook, a stair step diagram illustrates the suggested steps in planning a lesson. The first one includes selecting the topics that are important for the students to study. The second step is to specify the learning objectives which are related to the chosen topics. Preparing and organizing learning activities that will help students reach the objectives is the third step. The fourth step includes planning for assessments that will measure the amount of information students have learned and retained. The final step is ensuring that the instruction and assessments are aligned with the teacher’s learning objectives. These useful steps will definitely help me with organizing my lessons. Students should also be given opportunities to provide feedback to me. I want to know how they feel about the methods I will be using in class and if they feel that they have benefitted from said methods. I want my students to know that their opinion matters in my classroom.
I think the most important elements of effective instruction are planning, organization, and feedback. As stated in chapter 12, it is very important to have everything carefully planned out so that their goals and instructional activities are aligned with each other. Organization is also very important for effective instruction. With organization, the teacher maximizes the amount of teaching time. When teachers are less organized it takes time away from the learners. Lastly, feedback is also very important. Feedback is important because it allowes the learners to know exactly how they are doing and what they need to improve on.
The elements of effective instruction are planning, organizing, and communicating. These three basic actions have many different subcategories to the general term. Effective instruction includes planning. Planning not only what you will teach in a day, but what the students will learn as well, is just as, if not more important than a rigorous curriculum schedule. Topics must be selected, activities and lectures must be planned, following state standards when teaching, and being able to assess the students progress are all essential elements of effective instruction. Being able to adapt and be flexible with lesson plans and schedules is also an essential characteristic to effective instruction.
Organization is essential on every level to the profession of teaching. Organization of the classroom, the lessons, transitions, and time are key to allowing as much allocated learning time as possible. According to chapter twelve, starting on time, making smooth transitions, preparing materials in advance, and establishing routines are all actions that promote organization. There is so little time in the day to accomplish all of the things that we would like to, and even less for what we have to.
Communication with your students, peers, superiors, and to your student’s parents/ guardians is also an effective element to instruction. Having the capability to communicate effectively with your students allows them to know exactly what your expectations are as well as allows you to know when they do not understand a concept. Feedback, both verbal and nonverbal is critical when you are determining whether or not your students understand what is being taught. Communication with your peers allows you to gain ideas and insight from their experiences. A teacher is learns what works and what doesn’t through his or her peers experiences; what may not work for one teacher may for another with a little tweaking.
I think the elements of an effective classroom are individualized. Each student learns in a different way and will respond in different ways to me as a teacher. I think it is important to have a routine in the classroom and allow students to have some say in the way the day is run. This way, there is no complaining and no misunderstandings because the students contributed to the plan. I also think it is important to have goals in mind for what you want your students to accomplish. I think it is equally important to make sure that your expectations are not too high or too low. I think effective teachers have well thought out lesson plans prepared and ready each day. Also, teachers who are effective in their classrooms get their students involved in the lessons. Nobody wants to sit and listen to a teacher lecture to you all day long. I think it is important to make learning fun.
There are many elements to effective instruction. First you need to appeal to your students needs if they dont think the content is interesting they are not going to remember a thing you said. Secondly you have to be able to manage your classroom. this is the number one reason why teachers leave the profession in their beginning years as teachers.
Structure. You need to set a persistent way you do things in your classroom and it will lead to better management skills and an overall better learning experience.
you should also be a caring teacher. I believe if you let the students know you care the experience for both paries will be greatly enhanced.
