Teaching Methods and

Evaluation Techniques

Classroom management requires a wide variety of skills and techniques that teacher s u se to keep s tudent s organized, orderly, focused, attentive, on task, and academically productive during a class. When classroom-management strategies are executed effectively, teachers minimize the behaviors that impede learning for both individual students and groups of s tudent s , wh i le max im i z ing the behaviors that facilitate or enhance learning. In practice, classroom-management techniques may appear deceptively simple, but successfully and seamlessly integrating them into the instruction of students typically requires a variety of sophisticated techniques and a signicant amount of skill and experience. The Training Module offers clear understanding of CRM which is inseparable from good teaching.

Learn ing i s dependent on the pedagogical approaches teachers use in the classroom. A variety of pedagog ica l approaches a re common in schools , but some strategies are more effective and a p p r o p r i a t e t h a n o t h e r s . T h e effectiveness of pedagogy often depends on the particular subject m a t t e r t o b e t a u g h t , o n understanding the diverse needs of different learners, and on adapting to the on-the-ground conditions in the classroom and the surrounding context. The Training Module offers c l e a r u n d e r s t a n d i n g o f h o w Pedagogy informs teacher actions, judgments, and teaching strategies by taking into consideration theories of learn ing, understandings of students, their needs and the interests of individual students.

Phonics Classroom Pedagogy

“ If I can’t learn the way you teach, Please, teach me the way learn “!

Effective Classroom Pedagogy enhances the chances of teachers to individualize the learning process by understanding the learning pace, learning style and learning level of every child in the class. While addressing Young learners below 5yrs, teachers require special skills to understand, discover and interact with them to create an original learning platform so that it will help children connect with the later learning in formal education.ECE pedagogy module focuses on Gross motor & Fine motor development through activities ,apart from focusing on developing Socializing Skills and Emotional well being of a child at a tender age. This module focuses on Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence analysis to create a personalized learning ladder for all the learners.The outcome of the module enhances the observation skills of all the trainees apart from acquiring special skills to impart/teach the way child wants to learn.

Early Childhood Educa�on

Introduction of Phonics not only helps the child to read but also spell with ease. It helps them decode words by using the knowledge of sounds. It is vital as it does not depend on the photographic memory of children and aids them in reading new and unfamiliar words, thus enriching & enhancing their vocabulary. Benets to Children • Start Enjoying Reading • Builds Sub-Conscious Mind • Improves Speaking Skills • Smarter and Self-Condent. When should a child be introduced to Phonics? The best time to introduce phonics to a child in between 4 to 6 years. However children above 6 years & up to 9 years who have not developed good English reading, speaking & spelling skills, phonics will denitely help. Why should you try learning to read early on? Research has shown kids who are able to communicate well in English in early days of their growing perform well in their academics & actually enjoy success in school. They are free of any stress at the subconscious level & apart from excelling in studies, also have very high self-esteem & self-condence. Voracious acquis i t ion of new knowledge through reading helps children build a strong academic foundation. Synthetic Phonics is a fun and child centered approach to teaching Literacy. With actions for each of the 42 letter sounds, the multisensory method is very motivating for children and teachers who can see their students achieve.

This module introduces the techniques and tools to teachers while handling reading classes.
