Problem
In your interview, ask a minimum of 10 questions. The purpose of these questions is to learn how the teacher you have chosen to interview utilizes some of the principles of educational psychology that we have been discussing throughout the course. How does this contribute to this teacher's success and intentional teaching practices?
1. Do you teach differently than you did when you began teaching? How so? And why?
2. Do you ever read research studies in professional journals? If so, how does this change the way you teach?
3. How has the study of educational research affected your teaching?
4. What kinds of conclusions have you reached through informal research (your day to day observations of your students)?
5. What style of teaching do you prefer? Direct Instruction? Constructivist learning? A mix of both?
6. How do you differentiate instruction for diverse learners?
7. How do you manage classroom discipline?
