Reflection On My Micro Teach

Improved Essays
After having time to reflect on my Micro Teach I am over all very pleased with my session. I delivered an interesting and ambitious subject with good content and handled the class well, I also feel that I got involved with my learners and had a good variation of questions and answers. I was trying to use the PPPB or pose, pause, pounce and then bounce method on the class where the idea is to ask the question, wait, pick a student then bounce that student’s answer of another student as opposed to playing answer tennis with one student. I thought my handouts were good and my activities were interesting and realistic. I was trying to get my learners to have an idea for an artist bio and for them to see examples of a good and bad artist bio and …show more content…
I forgot to make a note of when I started the task and had a mini panic about my timing but soon over came this and took a deep breath and re composed myself. I did initially have the artist bio task earlier in my lesson plan but changed it to after I’d been through the section about what to include in your artist bio as wanted my learners to have a good idea of content and how to spark thoughts for the bio before they attempted to do one. Maybe I could have given the artist sheet to them, then gone through it with the learners doing an example filling in one with them or I could have given it to them before hand and discussed it and filled it in as we progressed. It may have saved me time as well for extra activities, discussion or questions. I was thrown by a couple of questions from the learners but I established what I was requiring fairly quickly with them and once we got going my learners enjoyed the task especially Jess as she invented her self as an artist “Jess Cat” and seemed pleased with herself and the results.
I gave good feedback and encouragement to my learners, and came across friendly and in a pleasant manor. My delivery voice was nice and clear and I also noticed that something startled Vietske and picked up on her body language and asked her if she was ok and understood what I was talking

    Adults can effectively support and extend the speech, language and communication development of children during early years by making learning fun and enjoyable and using games that require a lot of repetition and turn taking. Singing songs is another way and children don’t realise they are learning this way. Make sure you speak clearly and pronounce your letters and words correctly so children don’t get confused and can easily copy back to you. Always have a positive, friendly tone of voice, smile and use positive body language to encourage children to follow your example. Always give positive comments to children and try to encourage repeated good behaviour by rewarding them with things like stickers and team points so thy and others want to copy this behaviour.…

    For this rotation I taught the Real Care Baby lesson. IN this lesson the students watched a visual video that gave them an overview of what the Real Care Baby is all about. Then they got pulled out in groups to complete the “one Minute” baby challenge. This challenge required the students to stop the baby from crying in one minute. This required following directions, collaboration, completion of the challenge, and critical thinking skills.…

    I appreciated the observer noticed: Anne noticed that I have become more confident in my teaching which was something I did not ask her to watch for during her observation. This meant a lot to me that she noticed my growth and the student’s growth. She said the reason why my explanations were so clear was because of my confidence. I have been struggling this semester with having confidence when I teach in tutoring and during practicum. It definitely comes and goes.…

    Was the objective specific enough for you to have a focus? - Yes, the objective was specific enough for me to have a focus. I was easily able to describe the impact of inventions, including the cotton gin, the reaper, the steamboat, and the steam locomotive, on life in America. Students were also able to demonstrate their knowledge of westward expansion and reform in America from 1801 to 1861 by describing those same inventions.…

    Reflection on Book Title “The Leader, The Teacher & You” I share the same sentiment with the author that “Walk the ground!” is essential for a leader to earn respect from the ground. Walking the ground also requires social competency skills such as being able to “communicate to influence” and having “interpersonal effectiveness”. In future, I will apply this principle of “Walk the ground!” by constantly engaging my superiors, peers and subordinates for their guidance and opinions through cohesion and feedback sessions on how various tasks can be done more effectively and efficiently. Through these sessions, I will seek to understand their concerns and challenges in their area of work.…

    For me the activity of working as a group especially with other individuals who I have not worked with or talked to before was a good learning experience that had both positive and negative outcomes using Driscoll’s model of reflection as a frame work to elaborate on how I interpreted what happened, what impact the situation had on me and what I will do in the future if presented with a similar situation (Driscoll and Teh, 2001). We were required to do a 10 minute presentation for a health promotion project that we developed. I decided to work with other individuals who I didn’t know and have not worked with before as I believed I would be more productive and respectful if I worked with people I didn’t know very well. For the first tutorial…

    When I delivered the teaching session, the experience was an overall success with students showing a clear interest and engaging in the lesson (Table 1, question 10, mean 4.3). The teaching began with a clear introduction to the key learning points for the whole session (Table 1, question 5, mean 4.3), which allowed the students to understand what the session was going to entail. This was beneficial to those who needed to see the big picture to see how topics fit together[1]. I further explained that the session will be split into three sections and explained that certain learning outcomes will be covered in each section. Student feedback stated that there was “enthusiastic teaching in appropriate sized teaching bites.”…

    Reflection About Classroom Teaching Experience Being an educator is a challenge and a new learning experience each time. As an educator, I am entrusted with the responsibility of shaping the way students think and feel in the classroom. I have always wanted to be an educator and share my experiences with the new generation of nurses. When I was assigned to work with professor Lynette Rayman to do my classroom teaching experience, I was thrilled because the topic I chose was chronic kidney disease which also happens to be my area of expertise. I had to incorporate my previous learning experiences to make my presentation lively.…

    I think that I delivered this lesson successfully in regard to these goals. But the lesson time management was uncontrolled. Most of the feedback and comments I received from my tutor and my classmates were about my voice projection. As the comments were constructive I feel I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses. And now I can improve my weaknesses to make them work in…
