5. Professionalism What it takes to be an effective teacher in the year 2010 and beyond.... The effective teachers knowledge needs to cover the social, cultural and learning needs of all students and knowledge of developmental characteristics of each individual student. To ensure a Professional knowledge base educators must have a commitment to learners which along with behaving ethically involves keeping up with and understanding of technologies used to be able to implement them into the classroom to support students of today and the future (Eggen & Kauchack, 2010). The professional teacher has the “ability to make decisions in complex and ill-defined contexts” (Eggen & Kauchack, 2010). Teachers must use reflective practice not only to improve their own abilities, but to maximise students learning and development. A professional knowledge base can be achieved through in-service training days held at the school and informal training days which take place during staff development days. “As professional’s, teachers need to update and improve their expertise and practice continually through formal and informal professional development” (Groundwater-Smith, 2007, p334).

7. Theory of Cooperative Learning & It’s Impact on the Classroom What it takes to be an effective teacher in the year 2010 and beyond.... Collaborative and cooperative learning describes students working together in established groups to achieve a common goal. The view of a constructivist approach is that collaborative work offers many advantages to enhance learning. The impact of Collaborative and cooperative learning on the classroom when working in well established and structured groups can benefit students in a positive way by:  Giving students an equal opportunity in achieving desired goals. All group members are working towards a common goal.  Can enhance less able students understanding of topic.  Enhance social skills in working with peers and in leadership skills.  Improve communication and interpersonal skills.  A wide range of thinking skills are utilised when students are explaining, negotiating and solving problems.  Emotional development through ideas being supported in an enthusiastic and encouraging group. “Cooperative Learning is a set of instructional models in which students work in mixed- ability groups to reach specific learning and social interaction objectives. Cooperative learning is grounded in Vygotsky’s (1978, 1986) work, with its emphasis on social interaction as a mechanism for promoting cognitive development” (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010, p419).
