Teachers play very important roles, yet not all teachers can teach well and hence it is important to develop a teacher improvement program. Therefore, this study observed teaching and learning process to understand current teacher instruction so that priorities could be easily set up. 11 English teachers participated in the study. The eight classroom factors of the dynamic model (Orientation, Structuring, Modeling, Application, Questioning, Assessment, Building Classroom as a Learning Environment, and Time Management) are used as the framework since they are theory-driven and have been empirically proven to lead to better student outcomes. The data on the teaching of reading were descriptively analyzed, the results of which show almost no teachers did orientation and structuring, which could serve as pre-reading activities. Modeling was not really provided and students were left not to have sufficient tasks, hence during reading activities were not well delivered. Questioning was practiced by teachers but was limited to “product” questions. Lastly, collaboration and competition among students were not really promoted. The findings of this study suggest that all eight factors should be trained to teachers. It is expected that when teachers practice those factors, student outcomes will be better. Keywords: teacher instruction, the dynamic model, teacher improvement program

Abstract Introduction Fellowship-trained hand surgeons may have residency training in either orthopedic, plastic, or general surgery, generating significant variability in education background. To study the effect of different training backgrounds on practice pattern variations, we utilized the NSQIP (National Surgical Quality Improvement Database) database to assess hand surgery volumes and case variety by specialty. Materials and Methods NSQIP years 2008 to 2017 was queried with hand surgery current procedural terminology codes defined by the American Board of Orthopedic Surgery. Procedures were grouped according to type and specialty, and relative rates calculated. Hand society membership data were used to determine if procedural volume for each specialty in each category and overall contribution to the volume of hand surgery performed nationally was distributed in accordance with membership data. Results A total of 145,015 hand surgeries were performed; 13,267 (9.1%) by general surgeons, 28,402 (19.6%) by plastic surgeons, and 103,346 (71.3%) by orthopedic surgeons. Orthopedic surgeons performed significantly more bone, fracture, joint, and tendon cases. General surgeons and plastic surgeons performed higher than expected numbers of soft tissue coverage and cases overall with respective excesses of 183 and 22%. Conclusion Hand surgery is an available fellowship pathway from multiple residencies. Fellowship training does not level the field of real-world practice patterns. Residency training experiences significantly impact practice.
