Sometimes, I feel confused about which style I should learn while I am teaching. I was growing up in a traditional education system. The teacher was the only one speaker during the class, and students were always sitting and listening. Compared to American style, the teacher is not the only one talking in the class and everyone has a right to speak up their thoughts. Especially, during my senior year, all my classes were fun and we walked around the classroom to do various experiments in order to improve our teaching.
My theory is very simple. The purpose is to make my students really get something from my lesson. I would like to create different stations for my lesson so that they can fit all students needs. I will think every students is equally smart. Sometimes the teacher just needs to find a right way for some students to pick up and catch up others. For instance, my math was terribly bad when junior years. My parents were depressed and could not believe how stupid I was. They tried so many math school and spent so much money finding different excellent teachers to help me with math. However, all of them would not work for me. They decided to bring me to the United States, and surprisingly I got A on all of my math works. Finally, my parents felt grateful to bring me here.
I remembered that I used Bloom's Taxonomy a lot when I learned to generate lesson plans. My Professors always distributed a sheet to us that had Bloom's Taxonomy-Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation-on it. They would ask us to use the suggested words into our lesson plan. Bloom's Taxonomy really helped a lot when I was a beginner.
