How does the teacher decide which strategies to
implement?

• Selecting strategies becomes a less difficult
  problem when the teacher recognizes that
  instructional strategies are derived from five
  major sources.

3
What are the five major sources?

• Objectives as source
• Subject matter as source
• Student as source
• Community as source
• Teachers as source

4

• Objective as source strategy must match
  learning objective teaching about high jumping
  will permit the students to demonstrate they can
  perform the objective
• Subject matter as source teacher needs to zero
  in on the essential knowledge and skills which
  will be reflective of the learners

5

• Student as source teacher must know his or her
  students intellectual abilities (For example,
  the teacher wouldnt engage high school students
  in a game of London Bridge
• Community as source Teacher needs to understand
  communities values, needs, beliefs, and moral in
  order to gain support for using techniques that
  are most effective

6

• Teacher as source Through a reflective process,
  the teacher should seek to expand his or her
  thinking by developing more than a single model
  of teaching.
• Models of Teaching
• A variety of modeling is essential to successful
  teachers

7
What defines a style of teaching?

• A style of teaching is a set of personal
  characteristics and traits that clearly identify
  the individual as a unique teachers such as
• energy level
• facial expression
• motivation
• interest in people.

What are the Styles of Teaching?

• The Task-Oriented - specific objectives must be
  mastered before moving to a new task
• The Cooperative Planner all stakeholders are
  involved in the learning process (These teachers
  encourage student participation at all levels.)

9

• The Child-Centered teacher provides a structure
  for students to pursue whatever they want to do
  or whatever interest them
• Subject-centered -the teacher focuses on
  organized content
• Learning-centered the teacher has equal concern
  for the students and for curricular objectives

12
What is the difference between generic and
specific teaching skills?

• We define generic teaching skills as those
  instructional skills or competencies that are
  general in nature and can be employed by teachers
  in any field and at any level.
• We define specific teaching skills as specific
  abilities that must be demonstrated by the
  teachers in a particular field or level. For
  example, a foreign language teacher must be
  skilled in the generic competency, while being
  unique to the language being taught.

How do teachers organize for instruction?

• Unit and lesson planning include the following
  components
• Goal
• Objectives
• Strategies
• Learning resources

  learn

  covered

• Provide ample practice
• Monitor students performance
• Care about their success
• Know the students

  models, and skills is the fostering of student
  achievement
