As this chapter talks on Brophy teaching which allows to know some of the principles of
effective teaching. It is the cornerstone on the learning consequences but keeping in mind the
need of supportive classroom climate and students behavior on school. first it talks on the
supportive classroom climate which is as students learn and achieve higher if the classroom is
supportive and caring. As it says that an effective teacher is responsible how the classroom
climate is if he or she displays a positive attitude then the classroom environment will be
automatically good. Teachers plays an important role in extending the learning surrounding from
school to the home. Students are made so comfortable that they do not hesitate to answer the
questions. The second one is opportunity to learn as students learn more if the students are much
more involved in the learning activities instead of the more year in school. as it says that an
effective teachers does not need to spend time on behavioral problem of the students.
Additionally effective teachers does not waste time on non- academic things instead they focus
on the academic activities realizing the importance of time. as in the part of circular alignment
and establishing orientations as the curricular alignment it aims in helping students for preparing
them to fulfill their roles and it also relate with the students potential inside and outside their
lives. Whereas establishing learning orientation involves preparing students for learning and for

more prone to goal oriented. Most importantly instruction should be provided beforehand. And

can get a lot of information. Here in this Jere Brophy teaching it provides 12 principles of
