Answer 1

Describe teacher instruction you would observe in the classroom of a teacher who employs affective teaching with "key" behaviors.

Key Behaviors:
Lesson Clarity:
? make ideas clear to learners who may be at different levels
? explain concepts in ways that help students follow along in a logical order
? have an oral delivery that is direct, audible to all students and free of distracting mannerisms
? informs learners of the lesson objectives
? knows ability levels and teaches at or slightly above learners' current level of understanding
? provides review of summary at the end of each lesson

Instructional Variety:
? uses attention gaining devices (questions, visual, example)
? shows enthusiasm and animation through variation in eye contact, voice and gestures
? varies modes of presentation
? uses a mix of rewards and reinforcers
? incorporates student ideas or participation in some aspects of instruction
? varies types of questions

Teacher Task Orientation
? develops unit and lesson plans that reflect the most relevant features of the curriculum guide or adopted text
? handles administrative and clerical interruptions efficiently
? stops or prevents misbehavior with a minimum of class disruption
? selects the most appropriate instructional model for the objectives being taught
? builds to unit outcomes with clearly definable events

Promote Engagement in the Learning Process
? set rules that let pupils attend to their personal needs without obtaining your permission each time
? move around the room to monitor pupils' seatwork

Encourage a High Student Success Rate
? establish unit and lesson content that reflects prior learning
? administers correctives immediately after the initial response
? divides instructional stimuli into small chunks
? plans transitions to new material in easy to grasp steps
? varies the pace at which stimuli are presented and continually builds toward a climax or key event
