I would support student teachers in developing their pedagogical content knowledge by facilitating their acquisition and understanding of adequate knowledge of the respective subject areas. I will encourage them to do regular practical teaching, and make adjustments based on feedback from our interactive sessions. 

As a teacher you can help to develop somebody's subject knowledge and maybe even their mind and personality by providing a better pedagogical approach that will enable student teachers grasp the contents so as to apply the skills during their teaching work in their chosen subjects.

I  Will support student teachers in developing their pedagogical content knowledge by encouraging helping them to acquire needed knowledge and skills on their respective subject area.I will also give room for the student teacher to undergo regular practical teaching among their colleagues for necessary feedback and adjustment.

Mastery of subject matter

I will ensure that the teachers have the prerequisite knowledge of the subject matter. For example, as a  psychology teacher they need to understand  the concept of positive reinforcement. I will refer them to websites, TESSA OER for  and links where they can increase their knowledge of the subject matter.

Methods of teaching .

I will teach them different participatory methodologies that is specific for psychology courses. . For example, case study, role plays, drama, demonstrate, group work, thin-pair and share. I will ensure that they know the time to adopt each method to suit the  topic.

Understanding learners Perceptions: I will teach the teachers how  to know what the students bring to the table as far as prior conceptions, feelings, and strategies. This is because the student teacher  needs to incorporate the information in planning and delivery the lesson as a way of catering for individual differences.

Deciding a subject's difficulty: I will also teach my student how to  create lesson plans that move through the easier material quickly and provide more time for the difficult subjects. This will help students fully grasp the more difficult topics so they are better prepared to move forward. Moreover, the teachers will be taught how to design age appropriate  lessons.  

I will support student teachers in microbteachinh and give them teaching aid to facilitate their Teaching

 In supporting  students teachers in developing their pedagogical content knowledge; 

I will make sure that together with professional  studies ,  more emphasis will also be  on pedagogical  issues.  This is on what kind of strategies  are to be used in a certain  topic/ subjects . To be specific student teachers will be grouped into streams, those who intend to teach arts   subjects, science subject and language. by doing that each group will be taught on how to teach their  subject.  

I'll support student teachers in developing their pedagogical content knowledge by encouraging them to use available resources. Professional interaction like discussing with colleagues, sharing their experiences and attending professional workshops would also help.

*first, is to make the student teachers master the content of the subject matter.

*exposing the student teachers to different method of content presentation required in a field of the discipline. and also make them learn about learners learning behaviors and the condition learners may learners base under given topic.

*exposing the student teachers to other links e.g TESSA links that deal with several teaching pedagogy.

As a teacher I can start by serving as a model in my pedagogical approach so that I not only teach by words but also by actions, inspire them to research regularly about the subject area they will teach and about didactic strategies that best fit their students.

Taking for granted that the trainees have a greater  amount of knowledge about their subject content during their stay in the teacher training centers ,I guess it will be very helpful if we focus somehow on getting them to grasp with the pedagogy specific to every subject matter when it comes to classroom routine. We will try to be much more comfortable with those skills ourselves in order to be able to practice these skills during their micro teaching and they will be able to replicate those skills when they will be in front of their own students in schools after.

supporting then in gaining the needed content their subject area and also in general areas like psychology of teaching and learning ,this will help them understand their students better

The student teacher can improve their pedagogical knowledge by reading widely on the topics that they are supposed to teach. This can be done by use of cross referencing the materials that they read so that they can fully understand the content. Use of different resources such as videos and reading of topics included can help a lot in ensuring that they have the required pedagogical knowledge.

I Will support my students to develop their pedagogical content knowledge by demonstrating to them the various teaching strategies  encourage them to use the strategies and also help them master the subject content in their various teaching subjects

I can support them by teaching them how to access resources and also teaching them on the importance and strategies for learner centered education 

I will support student teachers by creating opportunities to serve as role model by making them observe me teach the subject (in this case pragmatics) so they can have the opportunity to see the practical side of the subject

I will support student teachers in developing their pedagogical knowledge, by giving them all the resources they need to deepen their own understanding of their subjects

Using the TESSA OER to develop learning materials will assist me to plan activities better and have an organised class.
