Changing Teaching for Different Students
I had a discussion in my Foundations of Education class this morning about how students will learn at different levels each year. When a new year begins, you will not be able to take your lesson plans from last year and use the exact same ones from year to year. The students will learn at different rates, and maybe some of the plans will not help the students learn as effectively. With technology, students and teachers will learn more each year about the additions to the technological world. Because of this, teachers must constantly be looking for ways to improve their classroom. If we want our students to succeed in their lives, the least we can do is educate ourselves in new ways the children are learning.

Grace,
ReplyDeleteThats really interesting and very true. Our education system has come along way. In my foundations of literature and language arts class we also talk about the same thing. The methods and tools that my teacher learned to read with are completely different then what we used as kids. The methods we used and learned to read with will be completely different when we start teaching. However, it is kind of hard to start educating ourselves in teaching methods if we do not know what new advances might come about.
Teachers do need to step it up and update lesson plans from year to year and try and make each class enjoyable and interesting for the students.
