Teacher Reflection

Lead Teacher Reflection #2 1. What went well today? Provide 3 specific examples of children’s actions/comments that occurred during self-selected activities. What evidence do you have for your conclusion? DO NOT use the words, “loved, liked, enjoyed;” rather describe the evidence of children’s reactions to the learning experience. Today we went on a field trip to the gardens and it went really well. The children ran, jumped, screamed, and explored all throughout the gardens. I was so happy

exemplifies the importance of a role that a teacher plays in a child's life. Teachers have the ability to improve a child's life without even realizing it - a refreshing revelation for both new and old teachers who may often wonder if they have ever made a difference. In most classrooms there will be students who will say they do not wish to be there and do not want to learn. And while the student’s unwillingness to learn is frustrating for teachers at times, the teacher creates the learning environment and

I couldn’t agree more! Any teacher worth his salt understands that this compassion training must begin in the elementary years. (Ideally kids come to school with this training already already begun by parents; realistically, it isn’t always that way.)Compassion along with a solid foundation of basic academic and life skills is the recipe for personal, community and global success. Elementary students are tomorrow’s doctors, nurses, construction workers and even teachers. Our future generations will

and I was first introduced to it in grade school by my kindergarden teacher. This lesson has shaped my life. I love it because it applies to anybody, it does not matter what their background is, especially as children. Children are insanely impressionable, and I think it is important that they learn as soon as possible that the outcome of their life is completely up to them. This is why I want to be an elementary school teacher. I want to find those kids that may not have the best home lives, the

Since my time at Sparks Elementary, I have only been able to observe two routines that my mentor teacher has done with the other 3rd-grade teachers. To start off the morning, Mr.Locklear meets his class in the cafeteria to greet them before the day gets started. The teachers then instruct the student’s set their backpack’s in their designated area and take the materials needed for their first rotation of class. When the students have set they're belonging’s down, the teacher’s lineup the student's

achieve their goals in life and prepare them for the real world. Another critical part of the teaching profession is the teacher and school faculty/staff mindset to feel empowered to change students’ lives. The concept of teacher efficacy is important because how can students believe in themselves if those around them don’t believe in them? Ms. Aviles, my cooperating teacher, had an adult talk with her freshman students after they found out their QRI reading levels. She

As I did this week’s reading I felt like I was able to relate to several statements in the introduction and the beginning of chapter one from the book, Why We Teach Now. Nieto started several reasons why teachers are leaving the profession. She also spoke about hearing acronyms, and test related jargon more than learning and fun when it came to conversations about teaching. (2014) I did not want to be part of that anymore so I left the profession for a couple years ago. I felt burnt out, overworked

impact the teachers have on their students. Whether it be because the classroom atmosphere was so much fun or the teacher really got the student interested in a specific subject, the impact a teacher has on someone can last a lifetime. While I am far from being someone's favorite teacher, I hope I can make an impact on the lives of as many students as possible through inspiring confidence and creating a respectful and fun classroom environment.

Along with its rewards and demands, teaching a prestigious profession and a very unique career opportunity to work with young people in areas and guide them throughout the year. Throughout my experience with Mrs. McGoldrick and her students. I saw mutual interactions concerning their interests, activities, and personal lives. As the school year progresses, Mrs. McGoldrick employs the six

have been interested in becoming a teacher. I remember myself playing " a school "with other girls or boys. It was one of the most exciting game at that time. Let's us admit that it is like a rule that every girl has a dream to become a teacher, while a boy - a truck driver. But none of us knew what does really mean to be a teacher. What is the really role of teachers. While speaking about memories, I remember that it seemed so easy and effortless to be a teacher. All you are supposed to do is simply
