is to provide opportunity
for you to relate theory to
actual practice
To help you do this, remember to:
10. Know and understand what you exactly need
to observe
Study the observation guides, listen to your
FS teacher and do not hesitate to ask
questions to make sure all is clear to you.
Always have pen and paper ready to jot down
details
Carefully separate facts from
interpretations
Accomplish the checklists/forms A.S.A.P. so
that the details are still fresh in your mind
11. The core business
of schools is to provide
students with a rich
learning environment that
is open, respectful, caring
and safe.
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

ethos that makes the school an
exciting, stimulating and welcoming
place.

17. “I entered the classroom with the
conviction that it was crucial for me
and every other student to be an
active participant,
not a passive consumer…
Learning is a place where paradise
can be created.”
- Bell Hooks
18. “To learn and not to think over what
you have learned is perfectly useless.
To think without having learned is
dangerous.”
- Gore Vidal
23. A person's
individual profile or learner
characteristics will determine
the way they respond to both
formal and informal learning
environments.
LEARNERS
– Characteristics and needs –
24. Although learner characteristics
can provide some general information,
be careful not to stereotype your
learners. Every learner is an individual
and "general" learner characteristics
should only be used as a guide.

29. “ To be a teacher in the right sense
is to be a learner.
Instruction begins when you, the
teacher, learn from the learner.
Put yourself in his place so that you
may understand what he understands
and in the way he understands it.”
- Soren Kierkegaard
30. Erikson’s Epigenetic Principle
This principle says that we
develop through a predetermined
unfolding of our personalities. Our
progress through each stage of life
is in part determined by our success,
or lack of success in all the previous
stages.
31. “It is little like the unfolding of a
rose bud petal opens up at a certain
time, in a certain order, which
nature, through its genetics, has
determined. If we interfere in the
natural order of development by
pulling a petal forward prematurely
or out of order, we ruin the
development of the entire flower.”
- Dr. C. George Boeree
36. The process of
ensuring that classroom lessons
run smoothly despite disruptive
behavior by students
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT
37. Constructivist teachers feel that
effective classroom management skills
impact the way in which students learn.
“Classroom management refers to
all the things that teachers do to
organize students, space, time, and
materials
to
maximize
effective
teaching and student learning”
- Wong & Wong, 1998

manage a class is finished.“
- Howard Seeman
47. Teachers nurture students’
engagement through authentic
activities and opportunities to work
with classmates.
LEARNERS
– Characteristics and Activities –

53. “It takes a world of difference to

- From a children’s song
(Quoted In Covey’s 8th habit DVD)
55. To learn is to acquire knowledge or
skill. Learning also may involve a change
in attitude or behavior.
An individual's background strongly
influences the way that person learns.
To be effective, the learning situation
also should be purposeful, based on
experience, multifaceted, and involve
an active process.
http://www.dynamicflight.com/avcfibook/learning_process
/
58. The study processes used by a
student during learning will be
related to both the amount learned
and the quality of his learning.
LEARNING PROCESS
– Individual Differences –
59. Motivation, abilities and intelligence
are not the only determinants of
learning outcomes.
A number of other individual
variables shape what and how well
students will learn.
http://cte-blog.uwaterloo.ca/?p=2348
60. These include:
• prior knowledge and
experience which refer to the
quality and accuracy of
relevant prior knowledge;
• learning strategies and tactics
which refer to cognitive and
metacognitive strategies used
by learners;
61. • learning or cognitive styles which
refer to preferred ways for
processing information and
approaching a learning task;
• learners’ conceptions of learning and
themselves as learners;
• personality
(self-esteem, risk-taking, resilience, sensitivity to
rejection, tolerance to ambiguity, anxiety, etc.).

mass without
adequately
distinguishing
primary sources of
differences in
learning.
69. discipline is about children
learning self control. it helps
them learn that there are
consequences for their
actions, and that they need to
think carefully about the
decisions they make.

79. 4 components of a
MEANINGFUL LEARNING
1. ENVIRONMENT- emphasizes the
teacher-student relationship.
2. EXPERIENCE
80. 3. MEANING- a teacher should make
the meaning more personal, for the
students to understand and relate.
4. MOTIVATION- the most important
component and a major factor in
developing and improving the
eagerness, willingness and interest of
a learner to learn.

94. Guiding Principles In Determining
And Formulating Learning Objectives
1. Begin with the end in mind.
2. Share lesson objective with
students
3. Lesson objectives must be in 2 or
3 domains (C-A-P)
4. Work on significant and relevant
lesson objectives
95. 5. Lesson objective must be aligned
with the aims of education as
embodied in our country’s
constitution
6. Aim at the development of critical
and creative thinking
7. For accountability of learning,
lesson objective must be
S.M.A.R.T.

105. There is no single approach to teaching
that works best. What we do in the classroom
depends on:
• who we are
• who our students are,
• what we are teaching,
• and many other factors.
http://web.gcc.mass.edu/professional-development/approaches-to-teaching/
106. Look for ways to prompt students to
think more deeply about course concepts
and the learning process through Prompts
that get Students to Analyze, Reflect,
Relate, and Question.
109. Home–School Partnerships
display many of the following features:
• Relationships in successful home–school
partnerships are collaborative and mutually
respectful.
• Successful partnerships are multi-dimensional,
and responsive to community needs.
110. • Successful home–school partnerships are
planned for; embedded within whole school
development plans; well resourced and
regularly reviewed.
• Successful partnerships are goal oriented and
focused on learning.
111. • Effective parental engagement happens
largely at home.
• There is timely two-way communication
between school and parents in successful
partnerships.
114. Teachers ask questions for a variety of
purposes, including:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
To actively involve students in the lesson
To increase motivation or interest
To evaluate students’ preparation
To check on completion of work
To develop critical thinking skills
To review previous lessons
To nurture insights
To assess achievement or mastery of goals
and objectives
• To stimulate independent learning
http://beyondpenguins.ehe.osu.edu/issue/energy-and-the-polar-environment/questioningtechniques-research-based-strategies-for-teachers
115. Types of Questions
Educators have traditionally
classified questions according to
Bloom’s Taxonomy, a hierarchy of
increasingly complex intellectual
skills.
116. FEEDBACK :
Redirecting, Probing and Responding
A teacher’s response to students’
answers is just as important as the
question asked.
A response may redirect students
when an incorrect answer is given or
students misinterpret the question.
Teachers may probe for further
explanation when a partial answer is
given. Finally, teachers may validate a
correct response.
117. “Children go to school as question
marks and leave school as periods.”
-Neil Postman.

118. In teaching, it takes the form of a
problem at the start of an
investigation or query about a current
issue such as time or classroom
management. It is a statement that
demands an explanation, a purpose or
an argument. It is the question, stated
in any form that unlocks thinking.
Hence, it is integral in the teaching
practice.
-Rowena M. Tivoli
