When in the field, I always try to take notes over the things that the teachers do. I write down ideas that I would like to incorporate into my own teaching, things that I have not seen before, and some things that I might find interesting. I talk to the teachers about some of the things I have written in my journal to see why or how they incorporated these strategies. After giving my lessons, I took notes on how students reacted to different aspects, what could be done better, and what not to do next time. I found that some of what I wrote about myself was some of the same comments the teachers had for me. I sat down and talked to the teachers about my lessons and tried to write down as much of their advice as I could. Next year, I will be renewing my TMEA membership. There are so many …show more content…
When a student receives praise, they feel good and are more likely going to continue doing well. If you just recognize some students, others may feel like they are not as good or feel like you are unfair because they are doing good as well but you did not tell them. The same for when students misbehave. When a student needs to be talked to, do it. If you can get on to one student, you have to do the same with all of them or they will feel like you never get on to this kid so why just me? If there are ESLs, students with disabilities, disorders, and special education students in the class, make sure that you modifying the lesson so that they have an equal opportunity to learn. Music should be fun for all students! As a teacher, I believe that it is our responsibility to make every child feel welcomed and cared about. We need to make a positive learning environment for everyone. Yes, it may be harder to help some students, but they are just as important and deserve the chance to learn. We should have plenty of strategies on hand to help reach the different types of students that WILL be in our
Imagine. You are a student once again and you are struggling to feel like you fit in. Everyone in your class seems to be smarter, faster, and better than you. You feel like you do not belong and are a loser. Now switch gears. You are the teacher and you see that one student struggling with those emotions; ask yourself, how can you help? As an educator, you can help a student feel included by accommodating their needs and making sure they know they are important, asking them their views on class issues, and by not underestimating their abilities as a growing, working brain.
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
I listen to my students. I allow time for their individual impute in what they are learning, and adjust accordingly. I really believe that is why students can be so into the idea of being taught, because they are all encouraged to lead the discussion and projects before them as it relates to the curriculum. I try to learn from my students by listening to their interpretation. I am learning what interest them, and feed off of it in the work that needs to be performed. Work towards a positive social society, with this education does takes place for our students, teachers, and community, all for a better future, one that is full of knowledge and acceptance. What could be any
During the early years, children go through crucial development stages, and continuous, quality early childhood education can have a lasting, valuable effect on the overall development of children. High-quality early childhood development programs that offer developmentally adequate curricula, allow children to formulate specified cognitive skills at the suitable age. Developmentally adequate curricula assist in the development of cognitive skills which help them acquire new skills and knowledge. Preschool provides children the opportunities to take part in activities they wouldn’t typically do at home such as arts and crafts, science activities, sand and water play and music and movement. These activities can enhance children's’ lives, increase their development and supply them with the tools they need for the future.
I know that as I grow and learn as a teacher my theory on education will change and grow with me. I know that the best thing that I can bring to the table when it comes to being a teacher is the willingness to learn along with my students on what works best for us in our classroom, what is important to us when it comes to learning, and to change what needs to be change in order to have a positive learning environment for my student. The most important thing as a teacher I will bring with me into my classroom is the unwavering desire to help to guide, shape, and above all foster a love of learning in my
In my visual I did specific artistic styles to reflect the quote, for what it means for me. I did a globe as the overall idea because this quote mainly meant for me was moving, so I showed it through a globe. Also this relates to anyone who has moved from another country to find a better home for their family, whether it was to Canada or anywhere else in the world because at the end we are given better opportunities to a better life. For the colours, I did the water dark blue to show the idea of moving is hard because we leaving our loved ones and our home behind, but I did the countries in light green to show that though we a moving away from our homes, we are building better ones wherever we choose to move. For the water I coloured it in
This being my first year of teaching I feel there are so many things that I have learned, and have helped me too become a good teacher. Yet I have so much more to learn, I still believe that students have the ability to learn and as a teacher it is my job to find ways to help them to become the best person they can be. Through being a reflective teacher, using professionalism, respecting diversity and having collaboration and community connecting this can be accomplished. When I am having fun teaching the student will have learning that material, this will help them to be relaxed and engaged in that lesson. I feel it is important to connect what they are learning to things that they have experienced in the real-world.
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
Like many people, my personal experiences have shaped who I am. As a future educator, I want my students to respect me as a teacher, but understand that I will be there for every one of them, whenever they need me. I will not judge them; I will only encourage them to do their best. I will show them that learning can be fun and that school is more than just memorizing facts, it’s about opening your mind to new ideas and experiencing things that will change your
... to interchange ideas and clarify doubts or issues I have. I have to contain myself for doing the most of the speaking in some of the classes, overcome laziness to analyze how well or bad an activity or class turned out and think of better ways to do things when they did not work as I thought they will . To conclude I am aware that the only responsible of my learning is me. “Teacher training or education is something that can be managed by others; Teacher development is something that can be done only by and for oneself” Wallace, 1991.
People all learn at a different pace, some may be faster than others at learning something. It just depends on how the specific person learns best, or how much they already know on a specific topic. Other than the obvious fact that people learn differently, you as a teacher also have to take into consideration those that can not understand because of a mental disability that they may have. It is really common for someone of special needs to be put into a classroom and you have to be sure to not leave them behind, and make sure that they understand what you are teaching. It may be a slower process, but it is necessary. On the opposite side of that, there are the people who get all that you throw at them really easily. Those people may get bored, so you may have to give them something harder to do so that they are challenged and interested. To be fair and sure that people all learn properly, you should split them into three groups for each lesson that you teach. The group that completely understands what they need to, the group that is average and kind of gets it, that may need a little more help, and the group that definitely needs help with the topic. Doing this, you can ensure that each group will eventually be on the same level of understanding. You could also do some sort of different activity for each group, getting harder as you go up in difficulty level. This may take longer than you
Written logs. For each class you can keep a weekly reflection log or diary. It would be better if the students keep logs, too. At least, one a week spend the last ten minutes of class filling them out. Ask yourself what are your weekly success. Did you make progress in your effort to listen more attentively to students' responses? If you would have to teach the same lesson for the parallel group for the second time you would use the same techniques or you made some changes? Going back periodically and reading your logs will be effective. By using these methods you will learn a lot about yourself. Reading what your students say is equally important. It gives you clues about their perceptions of subject
I will fund my exhibit through donations and sales. I would reach out to the community, explain my exhibit and ask for donations, but I would primarily generate revenue through selling items related to the exhibit like prints of the works being shown, creative posters, key chains, t-shirts and other mementos. Additionally, I would have bake sales and fairs and other activities of a similar nature.
Respectful of them, their opinions, and their standpoints. I have witnessed first-hand how hard it is to agree with someone who shows no respect for you and vice versa. It happens everywhere, and I have learned that as a future teacher, that respect is vital. In order for my students to learn, and actively engage in my classes, I need to prove to them that I respect them as a person. I have seen that in class where some students have little to no respect for their peers. In addition, I have also experienced that. There was one instance where me and a few other girls were targeted for voicing our opinions on an issue. We were told by another student that we were wrong. It seemed that he refused to actually listen to us and let it settle with him. As a result of this, he got no cooperation from us. We had basically shut down. We felt vulnerable and refused to say anything for a little while being scared that he would make us feel belittled yet again. With that being said, I know now that it is not only important, but essential to show respect to anyone and everyone, and also that you receive it in
Each relationship is different and each teacher has his or her own way with students. I have seen from a distance that for the most part students have great respect for teachers and therefore get respect in return. A couple of teachers expect respect, and since it is not earned, students do not always give it. I live by the thoughts that I have to earn the respect of the student body and model behaviors for them. The relationship I build with them is up to me, but in order for great things to happen, I need to foster individual relationships and show that I care.
