REFLECTION
This week has been one of the most educational week of the summer. I strongly believe that receiving information on the positions we hope to obtain and heeding to the expectations from professionals who are seeking employees to work in their campus, is imperative information that prospecting teachers and administrators essentially need. It is also important that we understand the proper and effective way to conduct a PLC. We also learned what to expect in our first year of teaching. We learned about the emotion and the stress that is placed on a first year teacher. It is very important that a first year teacher stays motivated and remembers why they became a teacher. A first year teacher should never be afraid to ask and should …show more content…

She made me think on how valuable it is to be failure with all aspects of social media. I now believe to be an effective teacher you want to know what the internet has to offer. By becoming knowledgeable on subjects like social media, you allow yourself to develop relationship with your students by understanding their social media outlet. A teacher wants to know what is out there on the internet for them to take back to the classroom and incorporate it into the students learning. I will keep up with the latest resources by staying connected to groups and other social media sites that introduce these new tools for teachers. I will also such around and see what I can find on my own and see if I can use the program with my students. If it is found to be effective, I will share with other teachers online and at my work. I believe if more teachers were interested in becoming technologic savvy, that they would find that their job can be a lot easier and their students would probably get more out of learning. Teenagers have a respect for a grown up if they know what they are into and how to use it. My kids are always telling me that I think I am young because I know too much about social media, but then again they are always coming to me to figure things out, so who is the smarter

    The transparency that social media and today’s technology brings allows the teacher and student to be innovative in how they approach lessons, not only for ourselves, but for kids and adults all across the world.

    As the time approached, my attitude toward student-teaching was one of confidence and in some ways overconfidence. I believed that I was equipped with all of the tools necessary to be a superior teacher. Little did I know what truly goes on behind the scenes of a teacher. Between grading papers, attending meetings, and preparing lessons, I would often feel overwhelmed. Still, student teaching would prove to be much more valuable than I anticipated. It would teach me to appreciate the wisdom of mentors and experienced teachers, value or being organized and prepared, and lastly the resilience of students.

  • A Successful New Teacher Induction Model

    242 Words  | 1 Pages

    A successful new teacher induction model should increase new teacher effectiveness and retention, reduce district recruiting costs, expand teacher leadership opportunities, and, ultimately, increase student achievement (Keep, Morgan, & Williams, 2018). Historically, most new teacher induction programs involve a weeks worth of “front loading” of generic information related to district policies and procedures followed by several mandatory school meetings prior to the first day for students. Handouts and related materials are often filed in a three-ring binder and placed on a shelf. Additionally, to meet state requirements, first year teachers are assigned a mentor and must attend monthly meetings.

    This being my first year of teaching I feel there are so many things that I have learned, and have helped me too become a good teacher. Yet I have so much more to learn, I still believe that students have the ability to learn and as a teacher it is my job to find ways to help them to become the best person they can be. Through being a reflective teacher, using professionalism, respecting diversity and having collaboration and community connecting this can be accomplished. When I am having fun teaching the student will have learning that material, this will help them to be relaxed and engaged in that lesson. I feel it is important to connect what they are learning to things that they have experienced in the real-world.

  • Why Do You Believe In An Inclusive Environment

    587 Words  | 2 Pages

    With any education environment, I believe in an inclusive environment for all. This includes not only the students, but the staff as well. The PLCs that are created for the staff, in addition to professional development days, offer a gateway to learn and grow together regardless of educational background or experience. In an inclusive environment, everyone has the same access to all opportunities to thrive and expand. The formal observations completed by myself and my fellow administrators will allow for the feedback that will encourage staff to grow and expand their teaching.

    Culture is defined as a characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people, defined by everything from language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts (“Culture,” n.d.). As I ponder the culture question as to whom I am, I realize I have a hard time explaining who I am. My religion is that I am a Methodist. I am quite shy when it comes to outings and friends. I have been told by the few friends I do have that I am a collector of strange and unusual facts. I like to stay to myself that way I cannot get hurt by others. As for food, I enjoy a variety of foods. I have taught myself how to cook through google and I have mastered Korean cuisine as well as several other ethnicity foods dishes. I primarily speak English, but I can speak in French, Spanish, and Korean. I enjoy music and I listen to anything from classical music to 60’s music. I enjoy art as I have visited France to be able to enjoy authentic master pieces. As I grew up and entered high school, I won a bid for a spot on our schools color guard team. All in all, I am a mother, a wife, a teacher, and a student. I make time for everyone and everything I enjoy in life and I have learned to not waste a second on anything else.

  • Professional Development as a Teacher: Personal Reflection

    891 Words  | 2 Pages

    Along these two weeks we have been prompt to make a recall to our own way of learning and why we became a teacher: Was it because coincidence, due to life circumstances, maybe because family tradition, was it a conscious decision or because someone influenced us? Whatever the answer is, we have to face reality and be conscious that being a teacher does not only means to teach a lesson and asses students learning. It requires playing the different roles a teacher must perform whenever is needed and required by our learners, identify our pupils needs and preferences, respecting their integrity and individuality but influencing and motivating them to improve themselves and become independent.

  • Reflection Of My Teacher Interview

    1417 Words  | 3 Pages

    I chose to do my teacher interview in my home town at Richard D. Crosby Elementary School. This K-3rd grade building is very new, it was built in 2010. It has 4 pods, one for each grade level and has a large discovery center in each pod. The school is very colorful, with each pod a different color so the children find it easy to go from area to area. I did my interview with Mrs. Doe, a special education teacher. Her room has a lot of materials for learning and is set up to have several work stations for group activities. Mrs. Doe shares her students with other special education teachers and also has a special education classroom aide. My research question is how does a teacher’s perspective on learning reflect theories and concepts in educational psychology? Mrs. Doe is faced with many challenges in her classroom, overcrowding, multi-cultural differences, learning disabilities, several students with low socioeconomic status and English language learners. There are many challenges for Mrs. Doe to deal with, but she has been teaching for 21 years and has a lot of experience. She started out as a regular classroom teacher, but switched to special education and has done so well that when she asked if she could return to the regular classroom setting, the Superintendent begged her to stay in the special education department because of her success.

    For my assignment I have decided to choose a group which I have just finished taking for level 1 Hairdressing and they have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. This is within my current role as a hairdressing lecturer at Hugh Baird College which I have done since October. Within this group there are a couple of people who have support workers. There is one student within the group who has severe learning difficulties and is a more mature student. She also has many health problems which results in her having to carry an oxygen tank around for when she has any problems with her breathing due to her having problems with her heart. There is also another student in the class who has learning difficulties, she is very clever but just needs someone there for when she needs something explaining. She also has a support worker that comes in to give her support. This student has also been going through personal problems at home and has attendance issues. There is another student within this group who has severe dyslexia. She doesn’t have a support worker but the support people who are in there do give her help as she can have a tendency to give up, not to listen and just needs to be kept on track so by sitting next to a person that does have a support worker she gets the help from them. These three students have all had their level 1 qualification extended for a year were the rest of the group have progressed on to level 2 Hairdressing. Two of these students may progress on to level 2 but one doesn’t have the ability to be able to do this as the requirements are too high for her. The reason the course was extended for them was because they were struggling with the work that was required for this qualification, but as the col...

  • Reflection Of A Future Teacher

    1650 Words  | 4 Pages

    Coming into this class, I figured we would learn about how to handle different kinds of situations from a teacher’s standpoint. As it turns out, the class is much more than just that. I figured there would be group discussions consisting of some controversial issues, but I had no idea how the course would make me feel as a person and as a future educator. So far, this class has brought to light the incredibly difficult decisions I will have to make as a teacher. Not only will those decisions affect the child and parents of that child at hand, but myself as well.

    When I arrived into this school building, I signed in the front office. Teacher-2 received to show her classroom for observation. While I was walking and since it is Christmas season I noticed many decorations on the walls, roofs and on the bulletin boards. The whole school is looking just like a decorated Christmas tree. I was amazed and tried to look some of the bulletin boards ideas. These bulletin boards dragged my attention and I was almost stuck looking them. I was taken to a classroom where I noticed the teacher is waiting for her students who are in the library. After a while the teacher stood up and walked near to her door to receive her students. I pulled a chair into the corner of the class, to make sure not to distract the students (as I am stranger to these kids). I noticed students who

    Overall my experience of being in Lingleville ISD was a great experience that allowed me to learn a lot not only about the students in the classroom, but also helped me learn a lot about myself. Going in to this classroom I expected to only learn things about classroom management and maybe a few strategies. After spending a few days in this room I learned many other things. I did learn about classroom management but I also learned about content, strategies, organization, lesson planning, and inclusion adaptations. I learned that an inclusion special education student can really thrive being in a mainstream classroom, not only academically but also socially. It was a wonderful learning opportunity to get to be a part of that. My mentor teacher

    This student is a difficult read and is difficult to build rapport with. Since she is so shy, she does not come forth with conversation and therefore, I know her the least out of my students. I attribute some of this to her age, demeanor, lack of confidence, and shyness. Even when I have the student one-on-one, I have to pry for information about school or casual conversation. There are other times when she catches me off guard and is very talkative, but only about topics she is willing to discuss.
