Assignment: Chpt. 6; Due: Wednesday, February 17, 2010
1. Question: Is it the heart and caring of a teacher that makes s/he effective? Perhaps it is the education, intellect, and experience s/he brings to the lessons? Then again, could it be the discipline and manner of control s/he has over the class? Is it the presentation and/or manner in which s/he teaches? Answer: The most effective teacher possesses and encompasses all of the above. (Txtbk. Chpt. 6)
2a. “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.” -William Arthur Ward, American Author, Pastor, and Teacher (Txtbk. p. 165, Chpt. 6)
2b. “The rapport that effective teachers establish with their students often goes beyond the classroom learning environment.” -Tom Stewart / CORBIS (Txtbk. p. 166, Chpt. 6)
3. The research suggests that experts in any field demonstrate skill in planning and in classifying problems and formulation solutions. This is no less true for teachers: the expert teacher shows problem-solving skills like those of other experts, whether in chess, or bridge, or physics. The studies also indicate that the process of evolving from novice to expert teacher takes considerable time b/c extensive experience is necessary to develop enough episodic knowledge to interpret information about classrooms. (Txtbk. p. 166, Chpt. 6)
College courses don't actually prepare prospective teachers to teach the knowledge students are expected to learn (page 180). How can prospective teachers better prepare themselves for this?

Numerous studies indicate that the most efficient teachers are able to engage their students about thirty minutes a day longer than the "average" teacher (page 188).
How many students can a teacher effectively keep on task at one time?
