Primary Teachers In The Film CHALK
While viewing the movie CHALK, I analyzed the three primary teachers and determined what type of supervisory technique would be most beneficial. Mr. Stroope clearly needs a direct control approach. It is clear from his conversation with his current supervisor that her suggestions required enforcement if they were to be applied. Then there is Mr. Lowrey who clearly wants to improve, yet needs help. He will benefit from a direct informational approach where he gets the suggestions he needs and willingly applies them in his teaching. Finally, Coach Webb appears to need a collaborative approach. She appears to be a good teacher and through her communication with teachers throughout the movie she seems to be looking for connections with the other

    The following information was gathered in an interview with Andrea Williams, principal of Theresa Bunker Elementary School. In my experience working with Mrs. Williams as a teacher in this school as well as the time spent learning from her during these interviews, I can say with utmost assurance that Mrs. Williams takes her job as instructional leader very seriously. It is her top priority to lead this school in such a way that student learning is the center of all instructional decisions that she and the teachers make. She feels strongly that it is her primary responsibility to ensure the learning of all students. She strives to build a culture where student learning is the highest priority for each member of the staff. Mrs. Williams…

    As a supervisor my main objective will be to improve teacher instruction and effectiveness. By improving the teacher this will help improve the students within the school. As for the students I would like to see them grow academically, socially, and emotionally each and every school day while under my supervision. For this objective to be met I must keep revisiting my purpose. Every situation within a school is not the same. How these situations are handled can play a vital role in how the school responds to my supervision. This situation also is true for the staff. Each teacher has his or her own personality. Personalities can a will collide at some point in a supervisor career. Learning and knowing how to react and handle these situations will come with time and self-assessment. One example of this is inspecting what is happening within the school you are supervising for what is expected. When the district office sends a directive for staff to wear their sound field device for better instruction, then make sure the staff is wearing the device. By doing the right thing, one should not be…

    In my role as a teacher I believe I am passing on my many years experience and practical skills , to achieve this I have to take on many roles, my learners will have undergone an initial assessment on induction and I have to remember at all times that my learners will be a diverse group and they should all be treated as individuals, my methods of teaching will have to vary from time to time to take this into account , if I have a hard of hearing student for example I may have to stand so they can see my mouth in order to lip read or give them a lot of written handouts , a student lacking in numeric skills would need extra help with measurements and basic maths this can be achieved during the practical sessions as part of the assignments which invole 1:1 discussions and feedback, that way students will hopefully learn without…

    Helping teachers with classroom management could be done in several ways. Counselors could provide support to new teachers or have professional development classes for the staff during in-service days or after school. The elementary counselor dealt highly with new teachers as well as with discipline while the intermediate and junior high counselors seldom dealt with them (new teachers and discipline).…

    The essay, The Seven Lesson Schoolteacher, by John Taylor Gatto addresses educational curriculum with a cynical truth that transpires around the United States. His brutal honesty grasps the reader by using common sense and a hint of sarcasm to appeal to humor. The main point of his argument in my perception states that we must develop children to be critical thinkers and not always agree to authority. By allowing the schooling in a child’s development expecting them to not question an adult’s words does lead to a population that has accepted being dumbed down. A quote from the essay to aid in showing you this viewpoint is Look again at the seven lessons of schoolteaching: confusion, class position, indifference, emotional and intellectual dependency,…

    S has been teaching for over fifteen years and has a lot of experience in managing a classroom. While observing her I noticed many techniques she has learned to use over the years of teaching. When the students are doing group work, Mrs. S always circulates around the room to help with spelling big science words and to make sure the class is on task. Mrs. S expects a lot out of her students and they know to respect her at all times, or they will be sent to another classroom. When teaching new things to the students, she always brings back things they have already mastered and tries to tie in more than one subject. One neat technique she uses—in order to keep the class quite, since she has to teach two grades—is in word problems for math. What Mrs. S does is has the students read the problem then show with their hand what type of arithmetic they will use to solve the problem. If the student gets it right she nods, and if they get it wrong she has them read the problem again but closer. When timing the students for times table tests and/or quick writes she watches the…

    An effective supervisor knows his challenges and work relentlessly to overcome by using the process of teaching and learning. As I reflect on previous interactions and coaching experiences with others teachers, and after the experience I had in class with peer counseling role model, I caught myself lacking on listening skills. Altering the way teachers think about supervision will be a challenge. I will work diligently to listen to teachers and let them be the experts as they unfold to me their teaching experiences. Based on the latter I will provide constructive feedback improving instruction, and ultimately, student performance; leading a team of educators to reach their highest potential. The evaluation system is not effectively providing…

    ‘The role and responsibility of the teacher is a complex one’ cited (Wilson, 2008, p. 4) I agree to this as they are hard to define and all roles and responsibilities are different depending on which subject you are teaching and the age of the learners. However my main role is to ensure learners gain their qualifications from the way in which I deliver the subject. I must take in to consideration the different learning styles and levels of the learners. ‘Teaching and learning should be a structured process’ cited by (Wilson, Practical Teaching a Guide to PTLLS & DTLLS, 2008, p. 15) Which leads to the teaching and learning cycle and the first stage that I will address is identifying the needs of the learners. To find out how I would do this in my area of teaching, I discussed with my mentor how the initial assessment process is carried out and to begin it involves interviewing each of the learners to discuss their current skills and experiences to ensure they are applying for the correct course then once enrolled on to the course all the full time students must then complete a diagnostic test, which will give results containing information regarding their key skills level and individual learning styles. I will use (flemings, 2005)four styles of learning to discover this which is appropriate for my teaching subject. This will help me identify any learning barriers and prepare individual learning plans for students who may need extra support or training, which will give them their own individual targets to help me plan a lesson. To do this I will firstly identify what the topic is about and plan my resources and materials, ensuring I complete any risk assessments beforehand if using certain equipment. My individual learning plans will help me use differentiation methods to suit all learner’s levels and abilities, and ensuring I adapt to all strengths and weaknesses of each student, However at the end of a lesson I will re cap with the students and…
