Chapter 4c
I found this section of the chapter really interesting. I have experienced all of the mistakes to avoid in one classroom or another. I find that if teachers do not care for a student and know that the student is always behaving inappropriately, they will nag, overreact, and threat the entire time while trying to teacher the other 20 something students. I will work hard not to cause students to misbehave. While I am teaching my reading groups I find myself at times embarrassing students to make a point. I did not think of it as embarrassment. I am now aware that this is not the way to go. I am now aware of what actions will trigger misbehavior and what mistakes to avoid if I want a positive teaching environment.
Chapter 5a
It is important to collaborate with other teachers and staff to help ensure that the curriculum is followed and that all students are grabbing a hold of a meaningful understanding of the learning process. The EDTPA has helped me to see how effective planning for instruction is vital to help ensure that teachers are giving students what they need to help them succeed. I work with a great team at work that collaborates every week to help meet the requirements of the curriculum and align the lesson plans with that of the state standards/ common core. Witnessing this helps me realize that when I receive my own classroom it will be so much easier to collaborate with other team members to help me accomplish the goals and expectations of the school . I agree with this section that textbooks will become more digitized.
Thanks Tracy:) Good insight!
ReplyDeleteTracy, I am glad that this section opened up your point of view and made you aware of a negative teaching behavior that you may use. I think that no teacher or person is perfect and we can always improve to help ourselves and our students. I hope that in the future you take a different approach to help your students achieve their potential. Thanks for your comments!
ReplyDeleteI do not think that pre service teachers really understand how much planning goes into teaching until they make their own lessons. I like how you connected it to the EDTPA. It is very important to collaborate with other teachers ! Great job!
