...other areas of the English language such as listening, speaking, reading as well as writing. The key involvement of the teacher also known as ‘expert other’ in the teaching learning cycle is guiding the learner to understand key concepts in academic literacy through use of scaffolding strategies to transform students from dependent to independent self-directed learners. There are four stages to the TLC and with each stage there are different strategies that the teacher uses to guide the student to being an independent learner and how the teacher is the crucial factor in guiding them in that direction. * According to Derewianka & Jones (2012, pg 45) the first stage ‘building the field’ is a critical stage in grasping the student’s attention to understanding a concept or theory that is about to be learned. The importance of this stage is that the ‘expert other’ referred to, as the teacher has to build students prior knowledge to a topic that is being presented. A student cannot learn and be able to produce ideas if there is no prior knowledge. By slowly building knowledge for the learner and scaffolding their thinking students can slowly understand the concept and elaborate on it through further discussion (Salmon 2007, pg 459). How students build their field of knowledge is through activities that encourage discussion. One of these activities that teacher can implement is pair-share which is a strategy to foster student interaction....

...Abstract Teachers are expected to create their own lesson plan. It is a guideline for teachers learn pedagogical concepts in students’ education. It is also a conceptual methodological tool that helps teachers in making a lesson plan on a desire topic so that they can implement the lesson plan and assess its results. An objective is very important part of the lesson plan due that it describe the purposes and aims of the learning outcomes. Learning outcomes outline the significant learning results that the students are expected to achieve and demonstrate at the end of the class. In this process students can identify the skills and knowledge they have learned after the subject is taken place. The ABCD method is also a big part in creating a lesson plan that helps in writing instructional objectives that could integrate Bloom’s taxonomy of learning theory and two dimensional frame works. These methods are essential tools in guiding the teacher in preparing and implementing his or her lesson plan properly and orderly. Key words: instructional objectives, learning theory, learning outcomes The ABCD method of writing objective is widely uses in every structure instructional objectives.

...Teachers When students graduate high school or college, they usually get a new perspective about all kinds of things. It takes years of experience and meeting new people to gain a good judgment on anything. Going through life and learning from it makes people more aware of other people and their personality. Also, when graduating, students will have learned to distinguish between the types of teachers. All teachers can be divided into different types, three of them are the strict type, the easy going type and the lazy type. The first type is the strict teacher. Strict teachers usually have the urge to explain every single inch of the book and “leaving no stone unturned”. The never give grades or extra credits unless they think the student really, truly deserves it. So, for most students, that’s another way of saying there is no extra credit. The tests they make are usually the hardest. Because if they’re explaining the whole book, they might as well put everything in the test! Mostly, they are detested and disliked by students. The second one is the easy going type. When it comes to explaining the lesson, they only explain what they deem important or beneficial to the students. They are usually very flexible when giving grades and extra credits, and might even give grades when a student doesn’t even deserves it. For example, if a student is funny and he makes them laugh, he shall be suffocated with extra credits! The tests are usually easy and very straight forward and without...

...that scientific research should guide practice in education (Odom et al., 2005). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA; 2004) and the No Child Left Behind Act (2002) require that students with disabilities receive research based practices in the “least restrictive environment.” Because the least restrictive environment is often considered to be the general education classroom, the responsibility to implement research-based practices frequently rests with the classroom teacher. However, during their initial teacher training and certification, many teachers may not have received formal instruction regarding the implementation of current research-based practices. Subsequently, teachers often feel detached from the very research base they are now required to utilize (Ayres, Meyer, Erevelles, & Park-Lee, 1994; Boardman, Arguelles, Vaughn, Hughes, & Klingner, 2005). Interviews with teachers conducted by Boardman and colleagues (2005) suggested that teachers often select classroom instructional practices and behavioral interventions based on four criteria: (a) feasibility within the classroom, (b) perceived appropriateness for particular students, (c) availability of required materials, and (d) availability of required professional development or outside expert support. When a practice does not sufficiently meet one or more of these criteria, the practice (or intervention) is often adapted by mixing components from multiple interventions or by implementing...

The integration of these technologies have not only been fast paced, but also widespread. Many children in the U.S. now have access to the latest and most advanced technologies. The different types of technology used in our children’s classrooms have changed the way they learn now and for many years to come. In today’s classrooms there are many different types of technologies used. Most classrooms today have computers with internet access. The internet is a tool to access learning websites, and maintain web pages and parent portal websites. Teachers can utilize these websites and computers to use Smart board, or interactive whiteboards and Smart tables, or interactive tabletops. “Interactive whiteboards have become popular teaching and learning tools, especially in primary school classrooms.” (Northolt, Millennial, Marshall, & Swan, 2010, p.494) Wireless internet access in schools has made the use of Ipods and Ipads popular in classrooms. These are just a few of the many technologies available in today’s classrooms. Many different people in the learning environment use technologies. Teachers make use of these technologies for instruction and communication. Smart boards and Smart tables are interactive devices that are used by both children and teachers alike.

...consisted of two different language arts class rooms. The classroom that was observed first was a class of eighth graders. There were Twenty-three students, broken down to thirteen girls and ten boys. As I entered the room it was the middle of their class. The classroom setting had rows of desks facing the front of the room, although the teacher’s desk was in the back of the room facing the student’s backs. The classroom was equipped with a smart board in the front of the room covering up most of the chalkboard. The teacher had the daily class objectives written on the chalkboard along with any homework that was going to be assigned for the day. Posters pertaining to grammar and literature filled the walls all around the room. There were several computers for student use in the back of the room. The teacher said that they were to give the student the option of writing their papers or typing them. (Field notebook, October 4, 2012, p. 1) After the class was over and all of the students left the room, the teacher spoke to us observers and told us that the next class is going to be a little different than the one that was just witnessed. This was the same classroom but according to the teacher half of the students had IEP’s, because of this there was another teacher that came to the room to help with the class. (Field notebook, October 4, 2012, p. 3) During this observation one of the events that occurred took place in the first classroom between the two different classes...

Understanding Computer Science, is necessary because of its power and influence in modern society. Learning of Computer Science should be activity based, process oriented, student-centred, environmental based and life oriented. The approach to learning is based on five domains of science: Knowledge domain, process domain, application and connection domain, domain of attitudes and values and creativity domain. But we know that most of the present vocational higher secondary teachers are not familiar with this paradigm. Hence for the first time we are introducing sourcebooks for all the subjects in the vocational higher secondary curriculum. This source book for computer science aims to provide guidelines to the teachers of our state to change their pedagogy from the conventional content-based approach to the process oriented approach. The source book has three parts: Part I gives you the general approach to the teaching - learning process of computer science. Part II of the...

... Any teacher who has ever taught in a classroom setting will quickly say their style of teaching is different from other teachers. A good teacher knows that it is very common for a class of students to be at a variety of levels in any particular subject and that all students do not learn in the same way. In order to be effective, teachers will definitely need to use different teaching methods to reach all their students. Having different teaching styles is very important for teachers to adapt to their students’ learning abilities. The two most popular teaching styles used by teachers today are the authority figure and the authority model. One of the most popular and widely used teaching styles is that of an authority figure. This teaching style puts the teacher as the center of attention and all the students must focus on the teacher. A formal authority teaching style tends to focus on content. This style is generally teacher-centered, where the teacher feels responsible for providing and controlling the flow of the content and the student is expected to receive the content. All information received by the students will be handled quickly by the teacher. The teacher will often maintain control of the class by using a loud voice or some other type of attention-getting-tactic such as not speaking until the class is quiet. This style of teaching only produces short-term results with students and once the student moves on, the teacher’s influence is forgotten. Teachers with this...

...the grade level expectation consists of. Using traditional grading methods, rubrics, portfolios and anecdotal records make for a wellrounded assessment practice. Using these assessment practices in combination allows for a better look at a student’s progress with standards. You will no doubt use traditional multiple choice, fill in the blank, true or false type assessments but for those assessments that aren’t nearly as straightforward, other methods are necessary. Anecdotal Records Anecdotal records are a great way to document student behaviours and academic progress over time. They can be useful in diagnosing a student’s difficulty in a particular subject area or simply to show mastering of a standard. Traditionally the teacher will take brief notes on a student’s interactions within the classroom with subject matter and peers. By keeping such notes, the teacher has a point of reference for the planning of how instruction as well as an additional tool for communication to parents of their child's progress. Maintaining a consistent system for taking anecdotal notes will ensure success when using this type of informal assessment. One method of keeping anecdotal records is to create a clipboard or file folder with note cards, one for each student, cascading down in an overlapping fashion. As you are observing, simply flip to the child’s card that you are observing and jot down...

...stakeholders. The end result of human relations is to make any situation better. Human nature, human motivation, morale and organizations, and informal organizations are all relevant to positive human relations. Over the course of the years there have been numerous changes to the way teachers, students and stakeholders view education. After school programs, data driven education and the way we prepare students are just a few of the things that have been affected since the beginnings of No Child Left Behind. Since there are so many changes, it is imperative that all parties understand the changes that have taken place across cultures. “How a young girl or boy grew up to be an adult in Medievalmedieval times was not the same as their counterparts in ancient Rome or Athens, or today.” (Smeyers & Burbules, 2006) Teachers cannot introduce the same materials in the same way they may have taught thirty years ago. Students have Nintendo Wii’s, playstations and they tend to stay up to date with the latest technology. There are even a number of adults who still have trouble checking their email. Even though school districts have Smart technology within the classrooms, there are those teachers that need their students help with simple Smart Board applications. The days of the traditional curriculum have been retired and it is clear that either we work on new ways of relaying the curriculum across...

...could be the main seed of facing the corrupted Politicians in future. There are 3 types of Student in any University or College: * A type: Career Oriented (focused only in study and career issues) * B type: Mid-type Student (they needs proper guidance about their career) * C type: Politics Oriented Students (who always prefer the Politics Involvement rather then Career) In usual scenario we loosed the fame and name of Dhaka University just for the reason of our Bad Political Practice which was practiced by the C Type students. And sometimes B type students were the ultimate victim of the Fight of C Type Students and Security Forces in different Protests. From my past experience B type students gets the influence or sometimes forced to support the C Type students. Which makes the ratio of protesting supporters increases than the usual ratio of C type students. Then the conflict seems more strong and bold to different media. Even the media influences in any activities needs to be monitored cause a Public focus is very much influencing for those C type students. Sometimes you will see only to show their face in medias for different protest or awareness program they tries to get into focus by anyway. According to the current need of our Developing Bangladesh, i don't think Bangladesh needs any more Student Politicians. I think the need of Skilled Practitioners in different Developing sector is more important than doing Politics or think about Politics. ...
