**Please write as if you were teaching in a Hong Kong secondary school. The course book has been attached as well.**

Based on the theoretical perspectives underlying the use of teaching resources, design a lesson using one teaching resource (e.g. online resources, school library, outings/visits, cooking recipes, stories, etc.), and evaluate your implementation of the lesson.

Write an essay of about 1,500 words in which you:

explain why you intend to use the selected teaching resource;

describe briefly how you would employ the resource in an English lesson;

critically evaluate and reflect on the design of the resourcebased lesson; and

speculate on some possible problems and suggest corresponding solutions.

**Full details of the teaching resource should be attached as an appendix to your essay**. The submission of a lesson plan is not required.

Step 1 We start off today with my second lecture on applying anxiety… which will also be used directly as an assignment on performance anxiety in any classroom regardless of the subject matter, i.e., math, science, music, art, geography etc. I hope you will enjoy it. Some of it will be familiar to you as I refer once again to the chapter on anxiety in The Artist in Crisis. Take your time reading it but do start right away!

Step 2 Write a 500 word minimum – 1000 words maximum – reflection on how you would apply my lecture to your teaching. I realize that not all my students are teachers or prospective teachers. It is commonly but erroneously believed that prostitution is the oldest profession. A moment of quality thinking will reveal very quickly that teaching has that great honour and certainly not the sex trade. We are all potentially teachers whether we like it or not! If you will be a parent someday you will also have to be a teacher and hopefully a good one for the sake of your current or future children. And even if you do not plan to have children, you will still have to be a teacher sooner or later in your future or current workplace. No one escapes teaching!

Step 3 Write a 500 words minimum – 1000 words maximum – reflection on Platos Book 3 of his Republic. By reflection I mean what is the most important idea in this reading and how would you apply it to your teaching?

Step 4 Read Tasos Kazepides book entitled Education as Dialogue: Its prerequisites and its enemies: Chapter 3. Write 500 words minimum – 1000 words maximum – reflection on this second reading. By reflection I mean what did you find most interesting and/or significant about the reading. It would also be a good idea to review the pages before chapter 1 to better your orientation and understanding of the reading

In order to provide an environment that is conducive to learning as well as meets CODA standards instructors must be enthusiastic and supportive and the instructor to student ratio should not exceed 1 to 5 in clinical and radiography sessions. My pre-req classes were during Covid times so to answer this question, I will reference my first term in pre-clinicals. My pre-clinical instructor gave us a tour of the facilities and introduced faculty and staff. She reviewed the syllabus and what is expected of us during our pre-clinicals. I do remember our program director and faculty referencing CODA, especially when evaluating our term competencies. To prepare for a new class, I would email the students to introduce myself, give them my contact information, and reading assignments to prepare for class. Upon arrival, I would use their names and find out more information about them. Then I would introduce them to faculty and staff and include written information. Lastly, I would clarify expectations.

The number of students enrolled would be dependent on the number of clinical and lab stations available. The clinical schedule should provide a sufficient number of operatories and radiology units. Sufficient faculty employment.

Initial written and oral communications should include:

• Define and list overall graduation competencies.
• Employ student evaluation methods.
• Written course descriptions.
• Learning experiences.

Student to instructor ratios should be 5 to 1 in preclinical and clinical sessions. In radiology sessions the ratios should be 5 to 1 as well. In dental laboratory sessions the ratio should not exceed 10 to 1.

To ensure safety, qualifies institutional support personnel must be assigned to the program. Support personnel includes, custodial, maintenance, and clerical. Support staff should be assigned to assist with the operation of the clinic facility.

The program must provide sufficient and maintained facilities. This includes conveniently located stations for hand hygiene. An appropriate number of stations per students enrolled. An adequate sterilization station.
