I definitly am feeling more prepared to be a teacher now, than I was when I began this semester. I remember looking over the syllabus for each class I took this semester and I thought, how in the world am I gong to be able to do some of these things that these professers are asking me to do?! I was very nervous about getting into a classroom with live children and teaching them lessons. However, I feel that the my classes have provided me with the information and resources that I needed to carry out these tasks. I definitly feel better prepared to become a teacher.
Some of the goals that I have set for next semester include:Having better controle of the classroom environment by coming u with good tehniques to used to get students engaged in the lessons that I teach them. Another goal I have is to continue to develop strategies that I can use in my lesson plans, that will apppeal to th many different learning styles that I will find within the students I teach. I will do this by listening to what other teachers have done in their own teaching experiences.
I am excited about continuing in this program and am so happy that I have finally found a career that I love!

I feel the same way about this semester! I remember having the same overwhelming feeling at the beginning of the semester, and I'm pretty proud that I made it through! I've learned so much this semester and I can't wait to see what next semester holds. Your goals are also some of the same ones I have. I really think teaching lessons gave a chance to evaluate exactly where we are as teachers and see where we need to improve.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know what you are both talking about. I have very little teaching experience and had no teaching experience in a classroom so I was very nervous and anxious. I was unsure of myself throughout the first half of the semester but the field placement really made me feel better and taught me a lot. I guess I can compare it to the first time I did my behind the wheel driving lesson when I got my permit @15; I had never driven before and my instructor took me immediately onto the highway. I was very hesitant and unsure of my self but with the instructor's confidence and feedback throughout, I adjusted quickly. And learned more than I would have practicing in a parking lot. If that connection makes sense to you?
