Strategies

Alber considers these five highly important for effective teaching practices

1. Teacher Clarity

When a teacher begins a new unit of study or project with students, she clarifies the purpose and learning goals, and provides explicit criteria on how students can be successful. It's ideal to also present models or examples to students so they can see what the end product looks like.

2. Classroom Discussion

Teachers need to frequently step offstage and facilitate entire class discussion. This allows students to learn from each other. It's also a great opportunity for teachers to formatively assess (through observation) how well students are grasping new content and concepts.

3. Feedback

How do learners know they are moving forward without steady, consistent feedback? They often won't. Along with individual feedback (written or verbal), teachers need to provide whole-group feedback on patterns they see in the collective class' growth and areas of need. Students also need to be given opportunities to provide feedback to the teacher so that she can adjust the learning process, materials, and instruction accordingly.

4. Formative Assessments

In order to provide students with effective and accurate feedback, teachers need to assess frequently and routinely where students are in relation to the unit of study's learning goals or end product (summative assessment). Hattie recommends that teachers spend the same amount of time on formative evaluation as they do on summative assessment.

5. Metacognitive Strategies

Students are given opportunities to plan and organize, monitor their own work, direct their own learning, and to self-reflect along the way. When we provide students with time and space to be aware of their own knowledge and their own thinking, student ownership increases. And research shows that metacognition can be taught. Alber (2015).

Factors

There are factors that help make teaching effective.

Effective schools : those that sustained over time have achieved superior to other schools serving students of a similar socioeconomic status academic results (in this case , with a high proportion of students from poor sectors) , also achieving the vast majority of its students reach satisfactory results. ( UNICEF, 2005 )

Effective teachers : teachers with a more favorable towards innovation , professional development, lifelong learning attitude , self-assessment as a strategy for reflection and improvement, and its ability to integrate new ideas into their own practice , his absenteeism , job rotation , among others, are aspects that influence significantly on the success of students and their attitudes toward school (Harris , 1998; Stronge , 2002, Thijs and Verkuyterm , 2009) cited (Martinez , Hernandez Castilla , & Murillo Torrecilla , 2009)

Classroom climate: The climate of the classroom is one of the key elements that effective instruction set , so it is difficult to imagine a quality classroom where an orderly , peaceful , positive, warm, full of affection is not given environment . The concept of classroom atmosphere has been thoroughly analyzed in the investigation and has taken different meanings. However, it is possible to consider that is set by the following components: effective classroom interaction ( between students, between students and teachers , empathy , attitude of the teacher against student , etc. ) , order (control classroom rules operation , etc. ) , attitude towards work , satisfaction, and environmental climate ( classroom conditions and furniture ) (eg Adelman and Taylor , 2004; Gonzalez Galan, 2005) cited (Martinez , Hernandez Castilla , & Murillo Torrecilla , 2009)

Effective Teacher-Child Interactions

Introduction

The purpose of this blog is to learn more about effective teaching and how does it benefit at the moment we are going to make a class.  In this blog are tabs that contain information that is effective teaching , what their characteristics or factors that influence and strategies can be used for effective teaching. And also it contains examples and         evidence of effective teaching that we believe are motivating for teachers who want to       change or improve their practice and get better results.

Conclusion

Effective teaching is to ensure that all students learn regardless of their context.
To be given effective instruction is needed on many factors: quality of teaching , administrative management and good learning environment . For this there are techniques such as clarity of purpose , lesson planning among others that favor teaching practice by helping to fulfill the objectives.
Although it seems very difficult, there are schools where effective teaching is what should be motivating to prepare and get students to learn regardless of their social or economic environment because the more difficult it is and teachers achieve them learn better quality teachers are.
