Toolkit

Introduction

Welcome from my Teacher Toolbox! This toolkit is intended to assist teachers in schools
teaching STEM subjects. It consists of a range of tools and techniques designed to improve
teaching methods, meet the needs of diverse students, and skillfully use technology.
Personal Philosophy of Teaching
In my opinion, any student can learn, and the teacher’s major task is to
contribute to the creation of favorable conditions for learning. In my
teaching, I incorporate different strategies such as grouping,
collaborations, and use of technology in teaching for all the students. Let
me ensure you that I am ready to promote the inclusive learning
environment in which every learner would appreciate and see himself or
herself as capable to succeed.
Personal Goals
Short-term goals
 Apply differentiation techniques of instruction in the class I teach.
 include technological tools to improve the modes of delivery of
students.
 Teach critical thinking to my students.
 Be a mentor/ role mode to my students
Long-term goals
 Minimize the number of gaps on STEM related instructional material
for Special education students.
 Participate in the research studies concerning best practices in
inclusive teaching.
Classroom management

Why classroom management?


 Enhances student learning and engagement
 Creates a positive and safe learning environment
 Reduces disruptive behaviors
Rules, routines and procedures
Rules
 Respect others
 come to class well prepared
 focus and follow directions
 Active participation
Rules
 Each session should start with a warm-up and each should be
concluded with a wrap up.
Procedures
 Specific instructions regarding submission of assignments and asking
assistance.
Consequences and rewards

Consequences
 Verbal reprimands
 Removal of privileges (time outs)
 Parent – teacher face to face discussions
Rewards
Examples of rewards;
 Praise and recognition
 Positive notes home
 Class privileges
Instructional Delivery strategies
 Cooperative learning
Strategy: Group work where students are grouped to solve a particular
problem or to accomplish a particular assignment.
Example: Students work in pairs or groups in order to construct a model
that will illustrate the Newton’s Laws.
 Graphic Organizers:
Strategy: This way, encourage the use of Venn diagrams, flowcharts,
and mind maps for the purpose of information organization among
students.

Example: A template for a flowchart that would help in describing the


processes that are involved in doing a physics experiment.
Instructional Delivery strategies

 Differentiating Instruction
Strategy: This means special consideration should be given to students
in order to facilitate effective teaching.
Example: Sheltered instruction has to offer differentiated follow-up
activities to cater for the needs of the learning of either more practice or
more challenge for the rest of the students.
 Accommodating Individual Differences:
Strategy: Use accommodations of LEAs in students with disabilities
through administration of the IEPs and the 504 plans.
Example: Provision of extra time for examinations and providing special
facilities for learners in the learning disability classification.
Technology
Integration of technological resources
 Google classroom
 PhET Interactive Simulations
 Khan academy
 Quizlet
 Smartboard and whiteboard

Daily lesson plan
Daily lesson plan
Date: 16/07/2024 Objective;
Learners will be capable of:
Unit: Understanding force and motion Explain motion and force.
Recognize the fundamental connection between motion
Topic: Understanding force and motion and force.
List instances of motion and force in daily life.
Materials needed;
Textbook
Whiteboard and marker
Computer and projector
Force and motion PowerPoint presentation

Assessment;
Encourage learners to discuss their findings and make connections between them and the definitions of motion and
force.
Giving each student an exit ticket to record one new fact they learned about force and motion along with a query
they still have about the subject is a good idea.
Gather up the exit tickets so you can assess comprehension and find any misunderstandings.
Summary;
Provide an overview of the lesson's main elements.
Describe how force and motion are important concepts in daily life.
