They certainly should know more than their students in the subject matter they are teaching. However, this does not necessarily mean that teachers know more than their students in every area.

What are the purposes of the teacher exchange programs?

A teacher exchange program exposes a teacher to the teaching methods and students of other countries. After such exchange, the teacher will (hopefully) know more about students from other countries (such as special practices, school structure and organisation, etc). This way, if a student from such country is in the teacher's class, he/she can help the student adapt more quickly. The teacher can also adapt more quickly if he/she goes to teach at a school in such country. This would develop a teacher as a global teacher.


Should kids have standardize testing?

Yes, to a point. As a teacher I need to know if my students have learned what they have been taught and I need to compare scores from the first of the year to the end of the year. BUT the test needs to be fair and testing the student on what they should know at their grade level. I say this because I gave standardized tests for years and in the testing today the students are getting tested on items that are above grade level. This is not fair to the student or teacher. I had students crying after the first day of testing and they still had 3 more days to go. Measuring students academic progress with other measures is needed and not all students test well. As a child I was one of those students that froze when tested. Education needs to show all levels of learning and testing.

What are the errors that a teacher commits that they become non-effective in their job?

Classroom management plays a vital role in the way a teacher dishes out his or her lessons. With well planned out lessons, that are more learner centered, the class is effective, but When a teacher takes up the time to only lecture and give notes without being learner centered, s/he is derailed and becomes ineffective. The teacher needs to first identify the learning styles of the different students and address their needs appropriately by grouping students based on learning interest. .

What should a teacher consider in formulating objectives?

What each and every student needs as basics in the classroom. Some students might need a little more hand holding but try to satisfy not only the equality of the classroom but also the equity you bring to each student. Also, an analysis of the students. Were are they with technology. See the kind of feedback you get and try to incorporate it into your curriculum. Most importantly, continue to educate yourself in the digital divide...be at the forefront of technology. Know more then what they know...and apply it to learning.
