Don wants to create the most engaging learning environment for his students.He doesn't know how to do that.How should he keep his students engaged?
Creating positive learning environments for students is what classroom management focuses on.Discipline, furniture arrangement, and teaching strategies are some of the things classroom management covers.
How can Don plan his lessons to create a positive learning environment?Permissive lesson planning can have an impact on student learning.
He doesn't know how to approach lessons to make them engaging.He wants his students to be excited about his class.How should he do it?
Permissive teaching strategies are one approach to teaching.Students can guide what and how they are learning with these democratic strategies.
Let's look at an example of permissive teaching.The class is learning about the Battle of Gettysburg.He has many ways to approach this.The traditional way is to give a lecture on the battle or give the students reading materials and questions to answer.
Don will approach the topic in a different way.He might make different articles about Gettysburg available to his students.He could have the students make their own list of questions that they want answered about the Battle of Gettysburg, and then have them choose articles to read that are likely to answer their questions.
Permissive teaching strategies focus on letting the students run the show.The students are supported in their learning by the teacher.The students make the decisions about learning.
Permissive teaching strategies sound interesting, but Don isn't sure about them.Are they a good idea?
Permissive teaching strategies have pros and cons.They can make students feel more engaged.One of Don's big goals is to have his students feel excited about his class, so permissive teaching strategies might be right for him.
Students are taught to take responsibility for their own learning.They are guiding their own learning, instead of following along with what Don is teaching.
There are some challenges with the teaching strategies.They can lead to a chaotic classroom.Don could end up with a lot going on in his classroom with everyone studying different things in different ways.
Permissive teaching strategies can make it difficult for students to learn everything they need to about a topic.If Don wants his students to know certain facts about Gettysburg, such as its date or its impact on the Civil War, he might run into difficulties with a permissive approach.If a student chooses to focus on a different aspect of the battle, he might not get the information Don wants him to know.
Positive learning environments are created for students.Discipline, furniture arrangement, and teaching strategies are some of the things classroom management covers.Persuading, or democratic, teaching strategies allow students to guide what and how they are learning.Permissive teaching strategies focus on letting the students run the show.The students are supported in their learning by the teacher.
Persuading strategies can make students feel more engaged than traditional strategies.Students are taught to take responsibility for their own learning.The challenges of permissive teaching strategies include that they can lead to a chaotic classroom and that it can be difficult to make sure that students are learning everything they need to about a topic.
