Professionalism is a big part in every teacher’s career and should affect students, families, and other professionals in the learning community in a positive way. My decisions and actions should be thought out and I should put others before me, such as my students who are my responsibility throughout most of the day. I know that as a professional it is the smart and right thing to do. For example, as a professional I should not be biased to my students in any manner (Florida Department of Education, 2017). All information obtained from a learner in the course of professional service remains confidential (Florida Department of Education, 2017).…

Every week The PALs would come and pick up children from our classroom and take them away to do fun things.…

No one is perfect, we all have our outstanding features and our downfalls. Some of us are academically blessed while others find academics to be their worst nightmare. In my case, I have never struggled with any of my classes, but I noticed a few of my peers did. So, in an effort to distribute some of my knowledge and study habits I decided to become president of Peer Study Hall and redefine the system and framework of the club so that fellow students are tutored in an effective and thought provoking manner. Immediately after my first day as a tutor during my sophomore year, I knew something had to be done about the way fellow students were being tutored.…
Peer assisted learning has many positive aspects. It can be hard to communicate through different levels. People who are very fluent in a subject can miss little things that can make a big difference in understanding what is being said. A peer tutor is, well a peer. They often have a similar track and can communicate from a learner level rather than a teaching level.…
During my experience in an ESL class I saw many of our course objectives come to life. The program was rather small but I witnessed many ways the teacher adjust lessons to meet the needs of students who are still learning english. During my visit I saw many different scaffolding that helped the students during different assignments and lessons. In class we learned how important scaffolding is in classroom with Ells. For a reading assignments the teacher used a tchart so that information can be organized to the learners.…
Students and teachers... don 't mix. As inane as it may sound, there 's a disparity between the student-teacher relationship we imagine and what actually goes on in the classroom. I 've never had any issues with my teachers, but in my experience, people I know seem to have issues with theirs. They preach to me that a teacher 's method of lecturing is ineffective and that their declining grade point average is entirely the fault of said teacher. Furthermore, after sitting in prep classes and tutoring dozens of students ranging from different ages, a common trend that is manifesting in classrooms that I see, is the miscommunication between educator and student.…
Chapter 3 discusses the teacher’s role in the classroom and learning process. The book focuses on how the students can reflect and communicate in the classroom. In my opinion, reflection and communication are the keys to student success. I think it is important for students to reflect on mathematics in order to gain an understanding of not only how to problem-solve, but also understand why they are problem-solving and how it applies to everyday life. I also think that communication is important in the classroom.…
Being a teacher now, as opposed to 25 years ago a lot of things have changed. I am the same teacher I have always been, some say I am “hard to get along with” but the truth is, I don’t let students walk all over me. The reason students say this is because I won’t answer questions twice, I do not accept late grades, and I’m not my student’s friend. When I first started teaching there was not smartphones to be distracted by, no Facebook for my student’s to friend my on, it just seems don’t have the respect, or commonsense they use to. However my teaching style hasn’t changed, I may be a “tough” teacher but for sensible reasons.…

I have learned that no one does everything the same way. What may work for some does not always work for the other. Teaching styles are different but I feel like that is what makes this profession so great. We all teach differently (and similarly, too); we see how to approach one standard, objective or lesson plan differently but then we collaborate and discuss different ideas. I feel like I have learned how to look from other teacher 's perspectives to see how to teach differently.…
