Midterm Reflection:
I have learned many important teaching strategies during the first rotation that will impact my teaching in the near future. I have had to have a great deal of patience in the first grade class during my first placement. I have learned to slow down and to teach on a pace that all the students can follow and keep up with. I have learned to be patient with the students and accept that sometimes no matter how hard I try, I will not always get everything done during that seven hour school day. I have also learned a great deal about technology and how to use a document camera and promethean board. I have learned how to create a flip chart for the promethean board and how to implement the flip chart into my lessons. I am still working on taking the initiative and not being afraid to be bold and step up to do a task.
So far in Quest 2, I have learned more about the promethean board and how it is operated. I have learned how to implement technology such as the promethean board, document camera, and digital stories into my lessons. One specific example is in my first observed lesson, I created a digital story on the Constitution and showed it to the students at the beginning of my lesson. I also created a flip chart for the promethean board and used it in my Language Arts lesson on nouns. I have learned how to write many different forms of lesson plans. One example of this is the variety of lesson plans I have written for my methods classes. I have learned how to write a 5E lesson plan, as well as many other forms of lesson plans.
I have faced challenges such as learning how to be more patient and have more patience with students in my classroom. Since I was working with first graders during the first rotation, I have learned how to teach at a slower pace that they can follow. I have also learned how to manage my time more efficiently and handle more responsibility.
My personal learning goals for the remainder of the semester are to continue to have patience with the students in my second placement class. I also want to learn more about the promethean board and how to use it more effectively in the classroom. I want to learn about different behavior management styles and how they are implemented into the classroom. I want to learn how to be an effective teacher as well as any teaching strategies that will help me during my first year of teaching.
