See topic below and attached Discussion Assignment Instructions. Use additional readings to
reference in the discussion post.
Chapter 1 of the testbook
Common Themes Emerged from Teaching Philosophies
Excellent Teacher Perspectives on Excellent Teaching
Reflecting on your past educational journey, provide both an example of excellent teacher behavior
and an example of poor teacher behavior that you have personally experienced as a student
(at any grade level). Review the Principles of Effective Teaching discussed in Chapter 1 of your textbook (p. 3), and relate each of your examples to at least one of these principles. Be sure to clearly identify
which principle the teacher did well or did poorly. In the case of poor teaching behavior, what could
your teacher have done differently to improve his/her performance or your experience? Finally, choose one of the Principles of Effective Teaching discussed in your book and relate it to Biblical Scripture.
How does Scripture support the importance of the chosen principle? Remember to pose a discussion
question in your thread per assignment instructions.
