Teaching requires reflective decision making. We also recognize that the daily decisions entailed in all teaching are made in unique environments. In other words, teaching is context specific. The effectiveness of a particular strategy varies with grade level, subject, concept to be taught, school context, and the student. The key to effective teaching, therefore, is to know, through discovery, inquiry, and investigation, when to employ a particular instructional strategy or to provide a particular learning opportunity.
Teaching involves social responsibility.
Central to our teacher education program are academic excellence and social responsibility. Our teachers must be aware of effective teaching strategies to constructively examine social issues and respond to inequalities. Teaching is a developmental process . Teaching is a developmental process, one in which educators continually strive to improve themselves and to further their profession. The PTPP structures the sequence of the content and learning experiences to support our students' development in their knowledge and beliefs about effective teaching.
