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 say for the most part my overall approach is traditional. I do add in some concepts of process mastery, and I also include centers for my students. So, I guess I do use all three but mostly traditional. I like the thought of passing on Biblical truths from generation to generation. I would like to include more hands-on learning in my classroom.
-
I think that I have a bit of a blend in my course. I think that when kids buy into an activity, they do learn better, but there are also certain things that need to be learned or mastered to be able to build higher concepts on. I also like having a direction that we are learning in, and yet being flexible enough to read the students and see how to motivate them, or capture their attention as they are learning and change direction if that will deepen the learning.

I would consider my classroom to be mostly traditional but with certain flexibilities built in.
-
My process is a blend of traditional and process mastery. I need to get better about providing more opportunities for students to take ownership of their work such as projects with different parts they can work on in the order they choose best too.
-
I think that I tend to lean more towards the process/mastery approach with some level of flexibility. I need to work on being more creative in my lessons and assessments but I do try to make the classroom fun and we learn with many hands on activities as well.
