I really enjoy my learn and serve. It seems as though my teacher and I are getting along really well and I really enjoy watching her teach and her teaching style. For the first time in her class I finally saw students misbehaving and her reaction towards it. It showed me an example of how to be a great teacher because of the way she handled the situation with poise and perfection. It is not similar to the way that they explain it in the book where they say you should use, "self-monitoring, self-instruction, or self-control." (p.204) Although those are probably for more serious situations, i saw how she kept control of the class and didn't let it get out of hand. I really enjoy my class and I feel like every week its getting to be a better class, I don't know how to explain it but I am really enjoying my time at my learn and serve placement at Niagara Catholic High School and it is helping me enjoy the fact that I am going to become a high school math teacher.

ReplyDeleteOK - I read this and I still have no idea exactly what your mentor teacher did, what the student did, and - most importantly - how you interpreted your experience in this class.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are connecting to your placement. If you want to be a high school teacher you are going to need to be aware of your style (this is called a pedagogical stance). Please challenge yourself to consider how you are missing the point of these reflections.
