My Personal Experience : My Experience As A Teacher

Today I arrived at 8: 30. I organised the classroom and made it ready for pupils to come. After assembly we did some time table practice. Next we had a new lesson for numeracy skills and I supported a group of students. L. O. Was about the name of 2 D shapes and how can we recognise them. First Miss B explained about the topic and she draw the shapes on the bored.

This standard says, “Teachers reflect on their practice and assume responsibility for their own professional development by actively seeking and participating in opportunities to learn and grow as professionals.” This means that teachers consistently seek to improve their practices and teachings by eliciting feedback from peers, more experienced educators and even the students themselves. In this lesson, I was asked to reflect on what I felt went well and what could have been improved upon. After teaching the lesson, I remember wishing that I had another class period. Therefore, I knew that I could have improved the time management of the lesson and that I could have encouraged faster transitional periods. I also asked my cooperating teacher how she felt the lesson went. She had agreed that the lesson went very well and that it was educationally valuable for her students, but that I could also improve on transitioning the students from task to task. I was lucky enough to have a student come up to me by the end of the class to ask about college and the courses that are offered at our university. He also expressed which areas of study he was most interested in. I was surprised when he thanked me for the lesson and said, “that’s the kind of stuff I want to be learning and talking about.” While I do greatly value the feedback from the teacher, I will always remember what this student said because it solidified my desire to continue doing

This semester, I was a teacher assistant for Dr. Finley’s psychology 101 course. The experience to TA has been a really valuable, and rewarding experience. I’ve definitely gotten the chance to develop skills in the professional context. The variety of tasks and the workload pace was very enjoyable for me. The opportunity of being a TA at times proved to be challenging but I find ways to successfully manage some of these adversities. Overall, there’s a plethora of things that I can take away, and I plan to utilize some of these tactics into my future goals and career aspirations.

My new assignment moved me to be with the fifth graders in Ms. Bolds’ room. I had heard of each of these students but hadn’t met them. It took some adjusting, and more adjusting, but I got to know each of these new fifth graders. We also invited some “pull out” students to our room every day for some extra help with Math and Writing. This made our room crazy at times. One of the things I love about this job is that I never have the same day twice.

Set Up- Since my communication with my supervising teacher wasn’t as strong as it should have been, I didn’t get much time to set up with my lesson. I didn’t know when in the lesson I was going to be teaching, so I was kind of thrown into it. My cooperating teacher gave me a group of students before I set up my lesson. So, I had to set up while entertaining children. I think this made me feel rushed and not as

The day started off fairly well. Hatfield hadn’t told his students I was going to be observing, and thus they assumed I was his daughter or a substitute teacher. After giving the students their bellwork, he quickly dove into the lesson. Hatfield had taken a day leave the day before, so the classroom was a bit scrambled with what they did with their substitute. It was an interactive day with videos, discussions, and written work. The good thing was that he really seemed to love what he was doing and could keep the students under his reigns fairly well. There were some attitudes from some of the students that he dismissed with ease and it was palpable that he had been doing this for years.

One of the best things you can do before entering the teaching business is to have experience. Throughout this course I had the chance to work in an actual classroom setting, create my own lessons and teach them to the students in the kindergarten classroom. It was an amazing experience and helped me become more comfortable working with early childhood students. Each lesson was recorded and showed my strengths and weaknesses in being in front of a classroom. The three of my strengths and what went well in my microteachings are; creativity, student engagement, and preparation. The three components that I could work on are; redirecting the students, lesson management and time management.

Justine for some reinforcement but, she didn’t look up. I knew he wasn’t listening because Ms. Alyssa wasn’t watching. So, I didn’t push it instead I walked over to the block area and asked Lucas if he would help me clean up the puzzle. When Lucas asked why clean it up when he didn’t make the mess I said because sometimes even though we didn’t make the mess we can set a good example for others that way we keep the classroom looking nice and clean. After we finished cleaning it up I saw Chase sitting nearby and I made a point to tell Lucas how happy I was with the fact he was being very mature by cleaning up a mess even though it wasn’t his. Siba came over and started talking to me and just saying “Hey, hey, hey.” Over and over again. So, I said “Siba, do you know my name?” Siba shook her head no. I said “My name is Ms. Kylie.” Siba dropped the professionalism and just called me “Kywii” for the rest of the day. Siba came over and said “Kywii, Kywii, its mergency shawk in over der.” I said “Yes, there are sharks over there for Ms. Allison’s plan.” Siba had me hold and rock her puppy that she calls

Thanks for another great week of teaching and learning. I really enjoyed this week because I had the opportunity participate in CPL and visit several classrooms. Having the opportunity to see the students actively engaged and see the teachers excited about teach was awesome. I find myself wanting to get involved in your lessons but I don’t want to interrupt your plans. While observing one of our great educators I wished I had invited another educator with me to observe the instructional strategies and classroom routines being utilized in this classroom. I know that I previously communicated to you earlier in the year about observing your co-workers but I want to stress the benefits of observing your co-workers. There are several books that

Today we went to the state fair, what a fun day we had with the students. I was able to ride the bus alongside with the students and to watch their excitement as we got close to the fair grounds, it was truly priceless. At the fair we took the students to the petting zoo, the students loved petting the animals, some more than others, but all of them had the courage to at least pet or brush one. Next we took the students to a few different rides, it was encouraging to see how nicely they were all interacting (taking in consideration the classroom had grown from 9 students to twelve during my 45 hours). Out of our entire group we only had one student with behavioral issues that day and who ended up going home. The rest of the group

We had our normal shortened period schedule and the students were on the same rotation as Tuesday. Today, the 5th grade class played a manners game that got the students moving around the classroom and learning at the same time. Ms. Zavada taught this lesson and I assisted her, since I have not taught manners or etiquette classes before.

On a final note, I just wanted to say that I genuinely believe that you are one of the nicest, most friendly teachers I have ever met, or within the almost-14 year life I have experienced thus far! I'm looking forward to further advancing my writing and vocabulary throughout the year and reading some fantastic literature. Wow––I mean––rock on, Mrs. Steckling! Enjoy the rest of the mid-week off day, as well as the potential 4-day weekend.

Today, tutoring was cancelled. With the okay from you, I still got my paper signed and said I would write about what I saw happening in classrooms throughout my tutoring experiences. It has been a long journey here at Glenwood Leadership Academy due to all of the cancellations. I think, though, having these complications have made me learn even more. Knowing that my time was valuable at each and every visit, helped make all of us better future educators. Teachers throughout the day were worn out from having to monitor their students in the classrooms at all times. The classroom I observed last week during school hours was very interesting. Even with few students in the class, the teacher still had her hands full. Many of the students

My philosophy of teaching is deeply rooted in nurturing the potential each and every student in my classes. Providing a creative environment that allows self assessment, growth, group interaction and mentorship are at its very core. Having taught in Higher Education for many years, and as an instructor of Media Arts and Animation, and Game Design, I have had the amazing opportunity to work with some of the brightest and creative young professionals. Teaching has not only broadened my love of art and exploration, but my determination to help students that do not have the confidence to persevere through their education, yet have the passion to follow their dreams.

Teaching is not just a job that I perform because I expect a reward at the end of each month; it is my passion and I feel extremely satisfied with every successful lesson. I like to help the society, and teaching gives me a great opportunity to do so. I am passionate about educating my students, so I work with them and motivate them to lead them to find inspiration in learning. I use different strategies to engage them and share with them the knowledge.
