How would you currently describe your overall approach to teaching in your classroom: traditional, process mastery, or constructivist? What works well in your approach? What needs improvement?

I would currently describe my overall approach to teaching in my classroom as traditional. I am able to provide specific content, task, and activities for the students, which works well. However, I provide hands-on, active learning activities for them. I need to improve in providing a level of flexibility in my lessons.

My overall approach is more traditional and process mastery. What works well is that we get through the required content so the students are ready for the next level. I like the idea of giving students choice, but that needs to be limited and with a purpose, such as choose what kind of assessment they can use to show what they’ve learned. I would like to do more of that.

There are some traditional and constructivist views incorporated into my classroom. The student’s really love the hands-on games and activities that we play to reinforce learning. What I want to improve is a biblical worldview in all of the subject areas taught.

I am a traditionalist. This approach has worked for decades as has been proven by the results of America being a leader in every area of education. It just in the last few decades that our country has fallen behind due to these new approaches that clearly do not work.

I have not had a course in which I have taught. I believe I will use all forms. Physical Education will require all three to create an environment in which students learn to care for their bodies, to use their bodies in a way in which God intended, and also a place to set personal goals and find which ways work the best for the individual to achieve those goals using the basics they were taught.
