Synopsis

This practical text provides competencies that prepare pre-service teachers, student teachers, and first year teachers for classroom observation. The author presents observation skills according to eight areas related to positive outcomes in learners which include: learning climate, classroom management, lesson clarity, instructional variety, task orientation, student engagement, student success, and higher thought processes. Observation skills are combined with patterns of effective teaching practice for each of the eight areas to help students observe what happens in the classroom and use what is learned to improve their own teaching. This book can be used as a companion volume to Borich's Effective Teaching Methods, fourth edition , as a stand-alone text for an observation course taken before or during a methods course, and as a resource during student teaching.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Do you want to begin developing the skills and competencies you need to become an effective, accountable

teacher?

The sixth edition of Observation Skills for Effective Teaching focuses on one of the principal means by which

you can become an effective and professional teacher—by observing others and incorporating the best of

what you see and hear into you own practice.

Using this text, you will learn to observe in the following eight areas found by researchers to be related to

desirable cognitive, social and emotional outcomes in learners: learning climate, classroom management,

lesson clarity, instructional variety, task orientation, student engagement, student success, and higher thought

processes.

This book will also teach you how to decide what to observe, how to effectively and efficiently observe in the

classroom, and how to apply what you have learned through observation to grow as a reflective teacher. In

addition, the book provides methodological concepts, observation instruments, and dialogues designed to

help you see and practice research-based patterns of effective teaching.

New to this Edition:

 

• Revised! More than 50 revised and updated observation instruments and records create an easily accessible handbook for your first classroom.

• New! Expanded and updated activities at the end of each chapter, aligned with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) and the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC) principles, reinforce the important role of research-based teaching practices as they prompt you to learn and practice observing specific effective teaching practices.
