Assure Model [ Week 4 ]

I had a history teacher, her name was Suzan. I think she was effective in both ways either in the classroom or outside. Even today I still remember clear knowledge from history courses and also back in those days, I was watching her teaching style and classroom effectiveness as well. So whatever she did in high school, it seems that they fit to ASSURE MODEL. First of all, she was a great observer. She would know anything that happens in the classroom, outside the classroom and between students. She was able to identify the problems and also as assure model suggest, solutions to those. Although, the curriculum was so strict, she did her best to stretch the courses in order to make it more fun and understandable. In addition, she used many different strategies, even role-play that some students become kings or soldiers. It was obvious that she was working on her methods and materials so much. As I said before, participation was one of the key points in her teaching. She was aware of learning something is easier when you are involved in it. But at the end, I don’t think she was applying ASSURE model by purposely. She was just trying to be a better teacher and acted accordingly to that. So it seems that, assure model is the pathway to be a better teacher.
