I am so thankful for being a student at the University of South Carolina and graduating from the greatest college at my school, the College of Education. Internship II grew me into the teacher I want to be. Through evaluation and grading using ADEPT, I have learned and grew to become a well-rounded teacher. APS 10 is a great indication of my growth. It allows aspiring teachers to reflect and evaluate their student teaching experience. It also lays out required qualities to be a great teacher. Below I will discuss and explain the key elements of APS 10 and how I accomplished them during internship II.

Key Element 10.A: Advocate for students.

I wanted them to know that I am, and will always be on their side because I want them to succeed in everything they do. There are many times I was an advocate for my students.

I have learned that middle school bullying can be a lot more complex than elementary school bullying. Whenever I thought bullying was occurring (or might occur) I would use it as teaching moment. I have grown such a great rapport with my students especially ones who were victims or accusers of bullying. For example on April 12, 2016 one of my students was crying in the girl’s bathroom. We discussed the issue and I gave her solutions to help her continue to be a great student and a well-rounded individual. I was grateful for that experience and moment with my student because it reaffirmed to me that building relationships with your students is very important. The student-teacher relationship can change lives and leave a life-long impact on the student, as well as the

At first, I didn't know what to expect from him.I was surprised to learn he had failed the 9th grade twice and with this being his third try he was in the same grade as his younger brother, Jason.

    Why are relationships important? A review of the research literature shows that authors have a lot to say about positive relationships with students. Thompson (1998) says, “The most powerful weapon available to secondary teachers who want to foster a favorable learning climate is a positive relationship with our students” (p. 6). Canter and Canter (1997) make the statement that we all can recall classes in which we did not try very hard because we didn't like our teachers.

My students responded to instruction and retained knowledge when there was a connection.

    Bullying is a repeated harmful act that continues to affect millions of students every year. There is no stereotypical person that is a target for bullying; anyone can be its victim. There may not always be any signs of physical harm during these attacks, but our children always suffer emotional harm. Educating students, teachers and parents seems to be the only valid solution to this problem.

  • Preventing Bullying in School

    “Researchers have conducted that at least 25% of all children will be affected by bullying at some point during their school years, and many of these children miss significant numbers of school days each year owing to fear of being bullied” (Bray, M., Kehle, T., Sassu, K. (2003). Bullying has become a major problem for our students and our schools. Children are missing educational time and are losing self-confidence because they are afraid or intimidated by other students. We, as teachers, need to reduce bullying in our schools and prevent bullying from being a reoccurring issue in the lives of our students in order for them to learn, grow and develop. Our goal as teachers should be “to reduce as much as possible-ideally to eliminate completely- existing bully/victim problems in and out of the school setting and to prevent the development of new problems” (Olweus, D. (1993).
