Case: Change Style of Teaching?
Mr. Taylor has been enjoying his first year of teaching sixth grade in a comfortable suburban setting. He has been implementing the new and innovative teaching techniques recommended for ESL (English as a Second Language) students. Mr. Taylor's sixth grade ESL students outnumber his English speaking students in the classroom. Mr. Taylor has been very motivated about the visuals and manipulatives he has added to his lesson information in order to enhance the learning opportunities for all of his students. The animated read alouds and the fun role playing activities certainly have been assets when presenting comprehension skills to the second language learners. Mr. Taylor feels strongly about his successful unconventional strategies that seem to close the language gaps and truly help make learning connections for the ESL students. While the school year is progressing smoothly, Mr. Taylor starts to worry about the conventional end of the year standardized achievement tests. He knows that these scores will be a reflection of his teaching profession as well as an integral part of his school's overall assessment averages.
Questions:
1. Should Mr. Taylor change his style of teaching?
2. Is Mr. Taylor's concern about the end of the year assessments a valid concern?
3. Will the conventional assessments administered at the end of the school year reflect Mr. Taylor's teaching ability?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not think Mr. Taylor should change his style of teaching because he seemed to have gotten through to the students with his animated presentations. This gave the students visuals to incorporate with the material. His students are progressing with his strategies, but the standardize test are a concern. I am not a good test taker because I tend to over analyze things. Although, Mr. Taylor does have a valid point with being concerned. This is a bad situation to be in because the students are taking away from his lessons, but they may not be successful when the end of the year testing comes around. Mr. Taylor could maybe incorporate more complex learning material that may appear on the test to see if the students are gaining an understanding of the material. |

| Comments: I think the teacher is implementing complex material. Maybe he should try assessing how well the students are meeting the current standards before he considers changing his teaching styles. :) |
