218011745 T Matla QUESTION 1 1.1 What could be made effective and why? A student teacher should know the subject they are going to learners so a school management should know such by making sure that a student teacher teaches the lesson on learners in this way the teacher can assesses them if they are able to make learners understand or not reason being that this will make future teachers to be deliver quality education on learners and make them be cautious of the content they teach to learners. Schools should be open to improving school policies due to making sure that effective teaching and learning in the classroom and teachers would get to exchange ideas of how to improve a learner’s behaviour in that way student teachers will learn that there can still be a change in a school policy for the benefit of learners. The government should implement a law that gives teachers a probation of producing good results from teachers if the teacher fails to do so there should be measures that are taken to replace that teacher in this way student teachers will see how their mentor teachers are teaching and how they are approaching their learners with their different levels of understanding. There should be discussions that take place in the classroom because sometimes learners do learn from each other because this will teach student teachers that even when you are a learning mediator you do not always have to be the one speaking to learners instead they can also learn from their peers rather than them seeing group discussions as learners going to make noise. Student teachers on the teaching practice should be taught that classroom management is the most important because it is the foundation of teaching and learning because it cannot take place in a chaotic environment because no interaction will take place between the teacher and learners which will result into a teacher not being able to communicate with their learners. The learners should be rewarded of their good work in that way student teachers will see how the rewards will improve a learner’s academic record because others will also want to be known for doing well at school. Teachers should teach student teachers the importance of having a relationship with the parents of your learners because they will be able to also help you as a teacher to get to the bottom of why some learners are struggling their academics since you will be communicating them about their children and also be open to their suggestions. As a teacher your learners should not be afraid of you because if they are they will agree to everything you are teaching them even they do not understand which is what most student teachers prefer from learners due to them thinking it is a respect but instead it creates a barrier between your learners. Student teachers should learn to be corrected by learners because it is not always the case where you will always have the right information all the times since learners also have the minds of their own and not be intimidated by being corrected by them. The student teachers should be reminded that they are building the future of a nation instead of them taking education as a job but they should do it with passion considering the good and the bad that comes with it. CONCLUSION As a student teacher you should not expect yourself to be perfect because the purpose of the teaching practice is to perfect everything and improve things that you already excel at. Understand that it is going to take team work for you to be the teacher that the society and the government expects you to be and be open to be learning new experiences.
