 Development Milestones
in a Child
Development milestones are a set of functional
skills or age-specific tasks that most children can do
at a certain age. These milestones help the teacher
identify and understand how children differ in
different age groups.

Age
5 - 8 Years

Physical • First permanent tooth erupts

Cognitive • Attention continues to improve, becomes more selective and adaptable

• Recall, scripted memory, and auto-biographical memory improves
• Counts on and counts down, engaging in simple addition and subtraction
• Thoughts are now more logical

Language • Vocabulary reaches about 10,000 words

• Vocabulary increases rapidly throughout middle childhood

Emotional/ • Ability to predict and interpret emotional reactions of others enhances

Cognitive • Applies several memory strategies at once

• Cognitive self-regulation is now improved

Language • Ability to use complex grammatical constructions enhances

• Conversational strategies are now more refined

Emotional/ • Self-esteem tends to rise

Social • Peer groups emerge

Age
11 - 20 Years

• If a boy, motor performance increases dramatically

Cognitive • Is now more self-conscious and self-focused

• Becomes a better everyday planner and decision maker

Emotional/ • May show increased gender stereotyping of attitudes and behaviour

Social • May have a conventional moral orientation

Managing the children’s learning needs according to their developmental

milestones is the key to a successful teaching-learning transaction in the
classroom.

Family is the most important thing in the world.

Teaching Pedagogies
Pedagogy is often described as the approach
to teaching. It is the study of teaching methods
including the aims of education and the ways in
which such goals can be achieved.

Lesson Plans
A lesson plan is the instructor’s road map which specifies what students need to learn and
how it can be done effectively during the class time. A lesson plan helps teachers in the
classroom by providing a detailed outline to follow in each class.
A lesson plan addresses and integrates three key components:
Learning objectives
Learning activities
Assessment to check the student’s understanding
A lesson plan provides an outline of the teaching goals:

Before the class

1. Identify the learning objectives.

2. Plan the lesson in an engaging and meaningful manner.
3. Plan to assess student’s understanding.
4. Plan for a lesson closure.

During the class

Present the lesson plan.

After the class

Reflect on what worked well and why. If needed, revise
the lesson plan.

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.

 Teaching Strategies
Numerous strategies have evolved over the years to facilitate the teaching-learning process
in the classrooms.

Bloom’s Taxonomy
Bloom’s Taxonomy was created by Dr Benjamin Bloom and several of his colleagues, to
promote higher forms of thinking in education instead of rote learning. There are three
domains of learning: cognitive (mental), affective (emotional), and psychomotor (physical).
However, when we refer to Bloom’s Taxonomy we speak of the cognitive domain. Bloom’s
Taxonomy is a list of cognitive skills that is used by teachers to determine the level of
thinking their students have achieved. As a teacher, one should attempt to move students
up the taxonomy as they progress in their knowledge.

Explain ideas LEVEL 4 Evaluating
Recall facts or concepts
and basic LEVEL 3 Analysing

LEVEL 2 Applying
LEVEL 1 Understanding

Teachers should focus on helping students to remember information before expecting

them to understand it, helping them understand it before expecting them to apply it to a
new situation, and so on.

If you have no confidence in self,

you are twice defeated in the race of life.
