Effective Teaching.....Shaping Minds

We just celebrated teacher's day and remembered our teachers with love & respect.
how true it is ......Our personalities have been shaped by our teachers and our working style ,attitude and professionalism is same as our teachers teaching style.

that is why student teacher accountability is very important.....

thought would like to share few points for all the teachers who are shaping personalities...


CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Why is great classroom management important?
  1. Invites students to learn
  2.  Increases positive student behavior
  3. Prepares students to survive and thrive in society
Invite students to learn with
l  inviting and sincere verbal comments
Ø  “I appreciate your help.”
Ø  “How can I help you?”
l  inviting personal behaviors
Ø  smiling and listening
Ø  thumbs up or high five
l  an inviting physical environment
Ø  live plants
Ø  nicely decorated walls
l  inviting thoughts (self-talk)
Ø  “Making mistakes is OK.”
Ø  “I am a patient person.”
Increase positive student  behavior by…
Ø  Addressing students by name.
Ø  Saying “please” and “thank you.”
Ø  Having a controlled, disarming smile.
Ø  Being lovable and capable and showing empathy when necessary.
How teachers help prepare students to survive and thrive in the kind of society in which they will live.
l  Responsibility:   Democracy demands that its members make decisions and accept responsibility for the consequences of those decisions.
l  Cooperation: In a democracy, the student who can cooperate with others in any enterprise is far more likely to survive and thrive.
l  Courage :A student’s courage enables him to try, fail and try again, until he masters the challenges life poses.
l  Self-esteem:A student with high self-esteem sees herself as a capable human being who has a good opportunity to succeed at challenges.                            
Teaching Style
Authoritarian: Results in an Atmosphere of competition, fear, and anxiety, Environment of rigid order and routine. Teacher gives vigorous discipline, expects swift obedience, discourages verbal exchange, gives few praises, tells students what to think, lectures while students listen
Permissive :  Results in an Atmosphere of insecurity. Environment of chaos with little respect for order and routine. Teacher is apathetic, not very involved, and places few demands; does the thinking/problem solving for students; plans lessons involving lecture, films, and bookwork.
Democratic: Results in an Atmosphere of acceptance and high expectation. Environment of order and routine; flexible and conducive to creative, constructive, and responsible activity. Teacher places limits while encouraging independence, is polite but firm, and nurturing; is open to verbal interaction; gives praise and encouragement; guides rather than leads.
EFFECT & OUTCOME OF TEACHING STYLE
Authoritarian outcomes: Students Are given few opportunities for achievement, motivation, self-control, and discipline,  Spirits are broken, Feel powerless and may rebel and disrupt class or comply and become a pleaser, Have little opportunity to enhance motivation, personal goals, or communication skills
Permissive outcomes: Students are less likely to become socially competent; be motivated to achieve, and gain self control, Have not been taught to cooperate or contribute in constructive ways.
Democratic outcomes: Students Own and solve their problems,  Learn self-reliance and socially competent behavior, Are more likely to achieve and be motivated,  Learn from their mistakes
