Reflection on what makes effective teachers effective?

This chapter talks about the requirements to be an effective teacher in classroom. There are

mainly three qualities of effective teachers: instructional planning, instructional delivery and

assessment for learning. I think three qualities are equally important but teacher should consider

how they can make better in these areas. For instance teachers should think about what makes

their planning better. Teacher should always change in planning, delivery and assessment

according to the need of students. The teacher might have the best planning but if the students

are not interested then student learn nothing. Therefore the teacher should plan the lesson

according to students interest and their level of understanding. On the other hand, teachers must

have good content knowledge, care for students and classroom management skills. Likewise

there must be appropriate resources to assess the students. If the materials are not connected with

lesson, the students might forget easily that they have learned.

When the teachers delivery their lessons, they should have efficiency in giving clear

instructions. Because student performance on activities is depend on teachers instructions. The

efficient translation makes teachers plans into action. In the same manner, teacher should always

find the misconception that the students have. There might be some students who are still in

confusion but never express to the teacher. In this situation teacher should build relation with

students so that they can share their misconception to the teacher. On the other hand, the teacher

should create the collaborative environment among the students. If teacher give assessment

where students can share and discuss each other. When they discuss each other, they will learn

more from their friends. At last outside from classroom, teachers can be effective if they provide

constructive feedbacks to the students. The students get encouraged from teacher and do better in

their academic progress.
