- Why do teachers need to align the objectives, strategies, and assessment?
-When objectives, strategies and
assessment are properly aligned it means that the teacher does the right thing
in educating the students. In learning objectives it is where the teacher will
think of what he/she wants their students to know and in strategies it is the
reinforcement of learning objectives and prepares students for assessment. While
assessment it is where the different kind of tasks will be given and assess if
the students have achieved the learning objective. Therefore they need to be
closely aligned so that they reinforce one another.
- How should teachers align their objectives, strategies, and assessment?
Your Reflections
- What has been your most meaningful experience in this episode? What makes it meaningful to you? How could such an experience help you become a better teacher?
My
most meaningful experience is that I was able to observe the different types of
students and I can see the pressure or the stress that the teacher might felt
when dealing with the students. And also in this episode I was able to learn
the principle and theories of curriculum development which is planning,
implementation and evaluation that helps us understand the process on how to
have better learning outcomes. Such experiences made me realized that being a
teacher is not an easy task to do because you will be handling different characteristics
of the students. As a teacher you must be that someone who is patient and
open-minded to the things that you might encounter. In my observation, I learned that to become
an effective teacher you must first know your students what are their interest
or needs and think of different strategies or methods when teaching a lesson
and motivation also must considered in order for the students to actively
participate in the class and to be able to create a productive classroom. Being
a teacher is not just to impart learning to the students but being a teacher
means being second parents so teachers must be passionate to their position and
act as a model. Lastly, the teachers must teach the students the good moral and
right conduct in order for them to become a good citizen and teach on how to
apply their learning in the school into a real world situation.
