Download or read book The Highly Effective Teacher written by Jeff C. Marshall and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the secrets to unlocking student success? And what can teachers do to get better at helping students develop deep understanding of content, attain higher-order thinking skills, and become secure, confident, and capable learners? In this book, teacher and professor Jeff Marshall showcases how teaching with intentionality answers these questions. Specifically, he introduces the Teacher Intentionality Practice Scale (TIPS), a framework for both supporting and measuring effective teaching. Taken together, the framework’s seven TIPs provide a research-based, classroom-tested guide to help teachers * create coherent, connected lessons; * use strategies and resources, including technology, that truly enhance learning; * organize a safe, respectful learning environment; * develop challenging and rigorous learning experiences; * promote interactive, thoughtful learning; * nurture a creative, problem-solving classroom culture; and * deliver feedback and formative assessment that inform teaching and learning. Marshall’s needs-assessment instrument can help teachers, working independently or in a cohort, determine the best starting point for improving their practice. Practical, straightforward rubrics for each TIP describe the various levels of teacher proficiency. Based on his own teaching experience and observations in hundreds of classrooms, Marshall also offers action tips for each framework component and a list of resources for further study. Written for teachers and leaders at all levels and in all content areas, The Highly Effective Teacher is a guidebook for thoughtful, intentional teaching with one goal: success for all students, in every classroom.

Download or read book Being A Teacher written by Sally Anany and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on my personal experience for more than 20 years in the field of education. In the pursuit of becoming an effective teacher, one embarks on a multifaceted journey that transcends the confines of traditional pedagogy. The role of a teacher extends far beyond the mere dissemination of knowledge; it entails cultivating an environment where learning is a reciprocal process, and the dynamics of both teaching and learning are inextricably intertwined. The core principle that resonates throughout this journey is that to be a good teacher, one must first be a good learner. In "Mastering the Art of Learning to Be a Good Teacher," the focus shifts towards the cultivation of foundational skills that not only aid in personal development but also amplify one's capabilities as an educator. As this book unveils narratives, strategies, and insights, they underscore the transformative potential of key principles of critical thinking, active listening, and reflective practice in the context of education. These principles are the cornerstones of a successful educational journey, shaping the characteristics that define effective teaching. The stories of real educators who have harnessed the power of these principles to elevate their teaching demonstrate the profound impact these practices have on the learning environment. Through these tales, the discourse seeks to inspire a new generation of educators who appreciate that teaching is not static; it is an evolving art that demands continuous learning. The ability to think critically, listen actively, and reflect upon one's practice enables a teacher to inspire, engage, and empower students, facilitating an educational journey that transcends the boundaries of textbooks and classrooms.
