Five key behaviors to effective teaching (Burden & Byrd, 2007)

As a teacher we have to consider about our behaviors, the way we deliver knowledge and anything else in the classroom. We have to consider all of them because it will give impact to our students within learning process. Now, I want to explain about five key behaviors to effective teaching (Burden & Byrd, 2007).

1. Lesson clarity --> This is the first part that we have to be expert. When teacher explaining the lesson they have to be clear about lesson and instruction. Then, we have to deliver the lesson step by step so that students can follow it smoothly. and the last is our voice must be audible to all of students.
2. Instruction variety --> Refers to variability and flexibility of delivery of lesson. In this stage you (teacher) may relate with the multiple intelligences and variety of teaching methodologies.
3. Teacher task orientation --> As a teacher, you have to maximize the time. Try to do not waste a time and provide students with the greatest possibility to learn and to practice the materials.The clue is if you can see and feel as a teacher, students are engaging the lesson it means the learning happens.
4. Engagement in the learning process --> To engage the learning process, you must make a strategy to explain the idea (e.g. make a game). Again, you have to be careful when deliver the materials. Make it easy to follow for students (step by step). If students talk to each other, read a magazine or leave the room means that they are not engaged in instruction.
5. Students success rate --> Refer to the rate students understand and correctly complete exercise and assignments.

Well, these are five key behaviors in effective teaching. Hopefully it will be useful for you.

Good luck, to make us under-construction.
