Student Teaching

Week 15

I'm going to rate this week at a 4. It was good, I just miss teaching full time already!

Observe
This week I noticed a change with my students since I was no longer teaching them full time. One of my more difficult students has come a long way in trusting me. I have noticed the way this student treats me is different than how the student treats others and I am glad to have made a close connection with the student.
Reflect
This week I observed 3 different schools. I realized that to get the most from the experience, it is imperative to be prepared with questions to ask and things specifically to look for when observing.
Focus
I'm feeling great about how I was doing as my student's teacher! They all grew in their reading and I'm super proud of them.
Be Productive
I could have spent more time getting my portfolio ready.
Have Courage
This week I was impacted by getting to see what I do and do not like about other classrooms and other types of management styles. I realized that having a close connection with your students and treating them as individuals with their own talents and lives makes for better classroom management and a trusting environment.
Begin Anew
Next week the first logical steps would be to work on my portfolio and keep learning more about other classrooms for my last 2 school visits
For this week, I analyzed what students needed to grow in with their reading skills and put that into their intervention strategies to learn.
To other teachers, make sure you're building relationships with all students and treating them as individuals
