Outstanding teachers know their stuff! They know what they are teaching and how to teach it so that students will understand and be able to use their knowledge in multiple contexts.

I observed the kindergarten classroom of Sarah House. During my observation, Ms. House completed a language arts lesson with her students. Ms. House used both whole class instruction and one on one instruction during her lesson. I felt that she did an amazing job with classroom management and created lessons that were not only engaging, but fun for the students.

In my second placement, I progressed quite rapidly and therefore, I was graded as an outstanding trainee teacher across every standard. I feel this learning curve of development has shown how I am able to reflect and act on feedback in order to progress to be the best possible teacher. On my last placement at St. Bede’s RC Primary School in Bedlington, my mentor commented on my final grading report that I had been ‘a confident student and a pleasure to work with’ and that I ‘played a key part in the life of the school’ by fully engaging with the school life, extra-curricular activities and by building good relationships with the staff. During my placements I have had the ability to show progression and adapt my teaching quite frequently. I was able to notice where interventions were needed, particularly regarding year 6 and their place value knowledge, alongside understanding individual needs, in order to progress the children consistently.

While observing Mrs. Cirrincione, I liked her classroom management skills. The students seemed to know what was expected of them at all times. Mrs. Cirrincione also connected much of the students’ lessons to their personal interests, which means she has taken the time to get to know each of her students. Mrs. Cirrincione pulled sticks throughout the day giving each student the opportunity to participate. Throughout several of the lessons, Mrs. Cirrincione would give the students helpful hints to remember the content. I struggle to remember new content, so I appreciate that Mrs. Cirrincione took the time to teach strategies to help the students

I learned quickly that being an effective teacher is an art that takes time and devotion. Many times, teachers are not provided with the necessary materials in order to maintain the various learning styles in a classroom. It is up to the teacher to create an environment where students can succeed. This is a full time job, meaning that a teacher’s work is not done once they leave the school. A teacher must contribute a significant amount of time and effort in order to see positive results in the school and in his or her own classroom. After observing my cooperating teacher’s strategies and learning more about the profession, I knew that I was going in the right direction with my life. I took a significant amount of knowledge away from this experience and have continued to strive to be the type of educator that I was blessed to work with during this experience. .

While my teacher and I did have our struggles I did learn a lot from her. I will use some of her techniques in my future classroom. One of them is at the beginning of each day she allowed that students time to talk. Along with get out all of the materials they need for the class that day. I came up with an idea during this time when I was with her to play a “Name that Song” game with the students. This was a great way for them to use comprehension skills with songs they love to listening to. I also loved how during the week she has an agenda paper hung up in her classroom. During the week students can write down any concerns or things they would like to change about the classroom. Then at the
