...Introduction Cross Curricular teaching involves a conscious effort to encourage students to apply skills or knowledge acquired through learning at school to more than one subject on their curriculum. A central topic or theme can interlink subjects with each other, and students as a result should be able to learn an aspect of a central topic and apply information learned in one subject to others(Householder & Boulin 1992). As mentioned in Component 1 there are huge advantages to Cross Curricular teaching and learning. However, many students do not or cannot apply the knowledge that they have acquired in one subject to others (www.fromtinyacorns.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/about-transdisciplinary-thematic-learning) Learning beyond subject boundaries provides a student with the opportunity to experience not only learning that is relevant to one subject’s requirements, but also learning information that they will apply to other subjects. This type of learning some students may find to be challenging as they will be studying one topic from many different perspectives. However, with a deeper understanding of a topic, others will find it more interesting and may be encouraged to study the topic even further. Rensick (1989) confirms this stating that in contrast to learning topics in isolation students become more actively engaged in their studies when they participate in cross curricular learning. Cross curricular learning that is based on linking learning experiences and...

...Classroom Management Plan Introduction and Overview In teaching there is no one style of classroom management that fits all classrooms. Every classroom is unique, with diverse students going through many things especially in a middle school classroom. Nonetheless, that’s why having a formal, written classroom management plan is of utmost importance especially in a changing classroom. Hence, in planning my own classroom management plan it is why I implemented a plan that relies highly on teacher preparation and organization. I have learned in my short time in the classroom that problems will occur no matter what you do in the classroom. However, being prepared by having a set of rules, procedures, and consequences for certain discipline problems within the classroom is the best method for a successful learning environment. In middle school classroom, students both females and males alike are going through both physical and emotional changes. Having a teacher who they can rely on as an advisor or even a person of confidence is of utmost importance in order to build a family of learners. Classroom Arrangement I arrange students in group tables of four or five students depending on the group of students. I’m most comfortable with this arrangement as it allows for the most amount of free space, and also provides more working space for students when doing group activities. Even though my desk is in the front of the classroom, I will try and not spend much time there, rather...

...lot of learners learn by doing. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) The course has introduced me to Hodder Education’s range of books called ‘Making Sense of Maths’ for KS3 and KS4 (http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/makingsenseofmaths). Mr Gough, a maths teacher and one of the authors of the aforementioned book(s) states the following: “My experience of teaching GCSE Foundation Tier is that by the time they get to KS4 they’ve already covered most of the content and they’re having the same content repeated in the same way that they found difficult in the first place so my experience of using this approach is that it seemed very different to them and it reinvigorated their interest in maths and they were very positive about maths lessons again. We’ve also taken these materials to various exam boards around the country; all of them confirm that its approach can be given credit for in terms of method marks whether the question is answered correctly or not. Indeed one chief examiner was saying that anything that promoted the students drawing things in the exam was definitely a good thing. He...
