PTLLS Theory Assignment 1 Review your role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher in terms of the teaching/ training cycle. Teaching is an extremely important profession as we are responsible for training up the future generations of our community, country and in effect, the world. In order to be a successful and effective teacher there are some basic skills and competencies that one must possess. The experiences that students have inside (and outside) our classrooms, schools and various other institutes will shape and mould their approach to our subjects and to life in general. Therefore, it requires a certain level of skill and training to be deemed professionally fit to enter into this career path and even then, continuous …show more content…
Will the content of your course or lesson negatively affect any of your students due to emotional and motivational issues? How will you combat this? Plan and Design Teaching demands a lot of creativity and being able to adapt to different situations and environments. However, in order to experience lasting success, more than pot luck, charisma and spontaneity are required. Planning is essential. Planning and preparation gives a certain level of confidence. Whether it is a single lesson or a whole course, planning allows you to design the learning journey you wish to take your students on. In designing, you can make sure that you are catering for all your learners’ needs. This includes sufficient differentiation; for SEN needs as well as your gifted and talented students. In planning you can ensure that your lessons have a definite beginning, middle and end and have clear aims and targets. At this stage you will also prepare and plan resources. Also, you must plan your assessments. How will you know when the students have learned what you set out to teach? How will they know? How are you going to prove that learning has taken place at the end of the course? All these points will be addressed in the planning stage of the teacher training cycle. Deliver This stage speaks for itself. You do the lesson! A teacher will put their plan into action and must be prepared
By having good communication skills, we are able to successfully undertake the lesson. If I am unsure of anything after reading the lesson plan I am confident in asking the teacher to explain or elaborate more on the task set to the students or learning outcome. By
Looking back at the experience I had in observing, I still have the determination to inspire others through a career in teaching. Teaching is a very diverse job that requires many skills and a lot of patience. It is important for a teacher to be able to maintain a healthy and professional relationship with their pupils, develop lesson plans that keep the attention of a majority of the students, make the atmosphere of the classroom inviting, and be a welcoming person capable of standing up in front of the class to

Detailed, step-by-step lesson plan (this section should be very detailed – the bulk of each lesson plan. Make sure lessons are as student-driven/active as possible).
The Module 2 is covering Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) Standards’ Standard #7: Planning for Instruction. Oh, I have a long list of questions related to objectives and lesson preparations. How to determine which parts to teach? When should I teach them? Are there any guidelines? Will I be able to choose books to use for the unit? Do I decide what is necessary and what is not? Planning is part of the job. I have no problem with it because I thrive from precision and planning. However, the amount of planning is excessive – to a novice. I have to check with the curriculum of my school district and the State. Also, I will have to ensure that my lessons abide the federal/state laws. But, that does not stop there. I have to acknowledge my students’ needs. There are several steps to validate my teaching.
When I do plan my lessons, I focus first on my student’s interests, readiness skills, and learning profile and take into consideration that their interests, readiness and learning profile follows in the content that I teach. I then apply my teaching lessons with various activities to keep their brains active and engaged in the learning

Planning and preparation are keys to being an exceptional teacher. A teacher needs to make sure their plans motivate students, actively
To start, preparation is paramount at any level of education, but particularly at the most basic levels of education. In observing my peers teaching it was evident that the more prepared they were, the more successful the lesson would be. When it was my turn to teach I really tried to be prepared and to have a good plan in place so that my transitions and instructions would be smooth. The
What I found most valuable was learning about the three parts Instructional Triangle, in chapter one, “How to Plan for Instruction.” The first part is the goal, “What do you want your students to know or to be able to do?” Another part of the triangle is Assessment, “What evidence of success will you accept? The final part of the triangle is “What will you do to help them learn it? Do it?” I learned, “How Planning is a key component in effective instruction…Effective teachers know what they are teaching and why.”
Teaching students is quite challenging, but preparing lesson plans with limited experience is even harder. Teachers must understand their audience, follow state standards and create engaging activities all within limited time frames and with limited resources. Following the five tips below will make preparing teaching goals and plans for the first time much easier.
Reece and Walker (2000) discuss, there are several building blocks to be considered when planning for effective learning. I will discuss the sections of the planning process that need to be considered planning for a lesson.
This essay is to evaluate what your role, responsibilities and boundaries as a teacher would be in terms of the teaching/training cycle.
It has not been easy but challenging and interesting. Unfortunately in this present job I have no colleagues, institution authorities or supervisors, which means anything I do in the classroom hardly ever provides me any feedback of what I am doing. Except of course for the eventual commentaries I receive from my students and the annual performance evaluation. Therefore I had this urgent necessity of obtaining some refreshment and reviewing of what I am doing in my classroom. I need to make a stop to reflect about how effective my teaching is. If the things I am doing are adequate and suitable to take my pupils to achieve their goal to communicate in the target language. Teaching in this context was at the beginning of the journey a frightening and stressing episode, first of all because I did not know anything about mining, geology, finance and accounting, just to mention some and not to make myself look like a complete ignorant. Secondly the atmosphere in a corporate has nothing to do with the informal ambience in an elementary school and thirdly but not least important, the students expectations and perceptions are not the same. Thus, I had to remake myself.
