I was blessed to observe in such a wonderful classroom! The teacher was so incredibly organized that it made each day so productive and enjoyable!
I think the most important thing that I learned during these last few months of observation was that each child is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT...and should be treated as such...while still maintaining a cohesive flow and order in your classroom. It's that balance of being a personal, yet general educator!!
It was so fun to see that my cooperating teacher uses many of the ideas that we learned about throughout this course: clothespin behavior charts, a comfortable/colorful classroom, different testing methods, different teaching styles (music, poems, games, hands-on activities), and much more!
I learned that a teacher needs to be prepared for anything! You need to be confident in yourself as a teacher, and not let your students walk all over you. Being confident in your expectations and having a clear goal for your students, will help them feel confident and show respect to you as the teacher, and get the most out of their time in your class.
This was such a wonderful opportunity!!
