Exemplary teaching<\/strong> can be and should<\/em> be used in every classroom; especially in a science subject classroom. Science is one of the most difficult subjects to teach through lecture because many of the things discussed must be\u00a0experienced<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Sitting and listening can only do so much for a learner. Let’s explore how exemplary teaching breaks through this easy-to-fall-into trap.<\/p>\n

What does exemplary teaching look like in a classroom?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In\u00a0The Voices of Exemplary Science Teachers,\u00a0<\/em>Ann E. Haley-Oliphant provides many examples of exemplary teachers in the K-12 science world. Even though the grades these teachers taught cover the whole K-12 spectrum, their teaching methods have many similar traits:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Student led classes\n
      \n
    • Students should be able to dive deeper if wanted<\/li>\n
    • The teacher is flexible with their plans in order to support diving deeper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Hands on activities and labs<\/li>\n
    • Activities connected to the real world\n
        \n
      • When a lesson is connected to a student’s life outside of class, it is perceived that the lessons\u00a0matter<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Discussions and lessons target many different types of learners\n
          \n
        • An exemplary teacher knows how to utilize many different teaching methods that can teach a variety of different types of learners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
        • Minimal lecture leads to maximal discussion<\/li>\n
        • Passionate teachers leads to passionate students<\/li>\n
        • Students are encouraged to be creative

          #Middleschool<\/a> #Science<\/a> methods Ss start to design their notebooks for class which helps show what their interests in science are. Starting off with this activity on day one also sets the stage for learning. A few highlights from this years mix! @NSTA<\/a> @shippensburgU<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/xxrE3FZtfe<\/a><\/p>\n
