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?

Very Traditional

[Austin]

I think my approach to teaching is more traditional and process mastery. I love structure but I am sure my students have fun in my classroom. I work towards concept mastery and I work hard to prepare them for the future.

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.
