    Module 1

    Introduction
    Believing that public schools make a contribution to our democracy here in the
    United States, Don Kauchak, one of the authentic authors of Learning and Teaching:
    Research-Based Methods (2011), 6th Edition, has not only published and co-authored
    an abundance of scholarly journals, but is currently working in the field as an educator
    for multiple grade levels. It is imperative that educators learn from other educators that
    are experienced in a multitude of areas within the classroom and abroad. When creating
    lesson plans we must keep in mind that the educational system is a constant revolving
    spectrum like a galaxy or a spinning wheel. We all evolve yet end up back where we
    started eventually. As leaders in the public school system we need to be aware of these
    changes and adapt the quality of accommodation and preparation. Throughout this
    review I will be comparing and connecting chapters one, two, and three to the TExES
    Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities EC-12 competencies 001, 002, 005, and
    006.
    Learning to Teach
    There are different stages in a childs development. There are also different ways
    to explain these development processes and changes. Dr. Jean Piaget in competency
    001 theorizes that, when children confront new or puzzling experiences, they must re-

    Trivitt 2

    solve inconsistencies in their understanding whereas new knowledge is merely added to


    existing knowledge through the process of assimilation (Comp, 001). As a teacher we
    must be able to identify where a particular student is in their personal developmental
    process. We do this in order to assist them if they are having trouble grasping a concept
    or if they are bored and need additional work. Linking this theory to Chapter one in
    Learning and Teaching Jean Piaget along with Lev Vygotsky influenced a teaching
    concept called constructivism. This view will enhance the importance that learners will
    construct their own views independently. They will learn by association and experience.
    Social interaction and play is heavily relied upon for learning.
    Student Diversity
    Take a look in the mirror and examine what you are. Describe physical attributes
    of yourself. Everyone who does this will have a different answer. No two people will
    have the same perspective of themselves or anyone else. When teaching at a school it
    is important to firstly, recognize the area that you are in and the culture around you.
    Secondly, it is critical that you understand the theories of cultural deficit, cultural
    differences and teacher expectations (Learning and Teaching, Pg. 67).
    Being able to identify differences and then use the information gathered to modify
    and adhere to those differences is the most important part of teaching in my opinion.
    Competency 002 provides that, The Educational Environment should, empower
    students of all racial, ethnic, or cultural groups, help all students function in society,
    nurture positive interaction between students of all cultures, draw upon and develop
    unique individual talents, and prepare all students to make contributions to society
    (Comp, 002). Both Chapter two and Competency 002 list important actions for teachers
    to take in order to accommodate all levels of diversity.

    Classroom Management
    Classroom management is one of the most important factors in teaching and is
    one of the areas that challenge teachers the most (Competency 006). Classroom
    Environment is the ability to organize and plan the day in a way that is efficient to all
    students. A Community of Learners is learning environments wherein everyone in the
    group is learning together and from one another in a supportive manner; in a classroom,
    this means that all children, as well as the teacher, learn together (Comp 005). Creating
    an efficient learning environment for the students means that you have to plan and
    prepare in order for things to run smoothly.
    Although there are eight factors of effective classroom management, the one that
    I want to discuss is, understanding how to deal with serious behavioral problems. I
    believe this is a task that is most difficult because no matter how old you are some
    personalities do not mesh well together. Judgement is reality and as leaders we need to
    keep our position and stay focused on the solution and goal which is to help and
    motivate the students to learn and succeed. In Learning and Teaching, chapter threes
    purpose is to emphasis the teachers responsibility to create a productive learning
    environment for the students. Intervention may be required to handle children that are
    having a hard time with the idea of school in general. On page 92 we see that there are
    steps that we can take in order to prevent inappropriate behavior from taking over our
    classroom.
    Conclusion
    Throughout chapters one, two, and three in Learning to Teach, we learned the
    definition of a good teacher and what effective teaching means in the classroom.

    Competency 001 relates to chapter one in that, learners will teach themselves by
    direction and guidance. Teachers will benefit by letting students be creative and interact
    with each other. This modern concept is called constructivism. Competency 002 relates
    to chapter two in that, teachers will be surrounded by a very diverse classroom and
    learning how to manage all types of learners is important. Competency 006 and 005
    relates to chapter three in that classroom environment effects not only your ability to
    manage your classroom, but that your classroom management can and will also affect
    your students behavior in a positive and negative way. With accommodation and
    preparation in mind we can keep up with the changes involved in our education system
    to keep students learning and actively engaged.
