Recommended: Strengths and weaknesses of assessment methods for learning

My practicum was a tremendously helpful experience. I have learned how to be a better educator as well as have grown in my Christian walk and being an effective Christian Teacher. I can say with more certainty now that I am able to student teach next year.
Firstly, the practicum contributed to my professional growth. I come from a Polish public school system and had little idea about how a day at school in United States looks like. I was able to learn various classroom procedures by observing several teachers – how to do lunch count, report absences, keep absent work, walk to other places around the school, etc. Moreover, I have seen diverse types of informative assessment that can be used to check the student learning, such as using whiteboards, …show more content…

After rectum, I see that I have my strength and areas I am not the strongest in. I consider my commitment to the students learning and having a positive leadership relationship with the students something I succeed in, as I focused my time with the students on their learning, different instruction before and during it to meet the needs of the children. I also consider my knowledge of technology and how to use it in instruction my strong point. I have grown in my IT abilities, especially with operating a Promethean Board during instruction and creating interactive PowerPoint presentations and Flipcharts. On the other hand, I see my need got improvement in certain areas. For example, I need to become more flexible. I When my teacher would ask me very last minute to add something to the instruction that I was not planning on doing, it hindered the effectiveness of my instruction, Another thing that I will be working on in my future teaching experiences is making the instructions clear and easy to follow. I tend to complicate the instructions and not give short specific step by step points.
I think I have shown in my practicum experience the BJU Conceptual Framework Dispositions

    Looking back, I believe that the correct choice was made. Obviously, I cannot know for sure until I immerse myself in the waters of a full-time teaching position. Perhaps I will come to find that the field of education is not what I expected. Maybe I will be unable to get through to my students. Who knows—these are all possibilities. I think about these possibilities from time to time, and they always scare me. Devoting four years of my life to something only to fail at that pursuit would be devastating. Despite these fears, ...

I learned never to use a child’s name especially when you’re out in public. I learned to be very prepared during any meetings with administrators or parents. I made sure I had correct forms on file to protect myself. I always showed respect to my parents, students, administrators, and fellow teachers. I was not afraid to ask for help when I needed it.

Everyday I am learning how to be more professional with my writing, communication, and my interaction with peers and patients. My field instructor’s Jeff and Chris are always challenging me to write more professional and clinical in my notes. Learning how to be precise and efficient in my writing skills has always been a challenge for me and I respect them for this.

I will also need to pay closer attention to dates, deadlines and my performance expectations. I often found myself mixed up with dates which are a critical in our short time spent in practicum.

    In high school, English was my strongest and favorite subject. I never had to work as hard in English as I did in math or any other subjects I took in high school. My peers would cram all night for a Literature test we were going to have but not I. I excelled in writing essays about Moby Dick and his white Whale or Beowulf and Grendel. My confidence in my ability to write was always high and when I enrolled at Chattahoochee, I assumed my confidence would not waiver. When I received my grade for my first paper, I was in shock of all the red ink that covered it. English 1101 taught me the skills I needed to have to be able to write a great paper and prepared me for what was to come for English 1102. English 1102 have taught me to rethink my abilities as a writer and to work harder and spend more time on my essays and think outside the box.
