How Was It For You?

First of all successful teachers have realized and experienced that conduct issues are somewhat  not common in classrooms where learners are positively involved and concerned, and in which the learners are valued for exactly who they are with or without disabilities in them, where they come from and what they can play a role to the others.

Therefore, one of the best ways in which I create experiences in my class room is first to get to know the background of my students to be able to predict and understand some of the non academic issues like societal problems that might be impacted positively or negatively on their behavioral growth, development, participation and learning.

It is also imperative for me to know that not all of them learn and appreciate learning at the same time, there are others who understand on the first day you present to them the lesson, others will appreciate it the following day and others take as long as a week.  The main goal to me always remain to educate the individual as a whole by taking into consideration and allowing for individual differences in the development and learning process in the classroom.

It is also important to me to focus on the environment created in the classroom and whether it engages all learners effectively and meaningfully in the class. The teaching methods used in the class can influence learner’s development in a way that promotes teacher learning interactions which is an integral part in managing the class and planning well for classroom activities.

I think it is also important to decide on the sitting arrangement in the class if real learning experience is to be achieved. Ya! It may look unnecessary but it’s not because when students are well arranged in the class it automatically disables some kind of certain individual interactions that may seem to distract the class attention as well as impacting some uncalled behavior and attitudes of students. Therefore, I believe it is essential for the teacher to decide which student sits where and during which kind of activity in the class.
