Quality Teaching


Quality Teaching is all about the value and roles adopted by the Teacher to have a strong impact on student's learning and achievement. it should enables stidents to learn in an enjoyable way,learn that they think is important, understand what they have learned and make use of it.
Quality Teaching Quality teaching comprises responsive and reflective teaching. Teaching should be responsive to student learning processes and learning styles. It should provide scaffolding to the extent that learners would become autonomous. It should be responsive to the prior knowledge and experiences of students. They should not be assumed to come to classes with a blank mind. Their experiences should be valued as potential sources of learning. Reflective teachers practice reflective teaching and they think over what and how they teach and learn. It is their personal tool to observe and evaluate what they do or fail to do in class. It supports development and maintenance of expertise, ability to reflect on their own actions as a way of engaging in the process of continuous learning. Hence, quality teachers are naturally great teachers. They are available to students and their parents, accessible to students anytime, are warm, caring, enthusiastic, committed, patient, energetic, communicative, and constantly updating their knowledge. They have passion for teaching, and love students and their subjects. Teacher’s role does not start only inside the classroom. In fact, classroom role becomes an intermediary between pre-classroom and post-classroom roles. Basically, teachers are curriculum planners and designers. They cannot take any meaningful decision on what to teach and why teach what they teach in classroom. An important aspect of curriculum planning/designing is constructive alignment. They should therefore foresee an alignment between designing teaching through activities and expressing learning in and through activities.
