On page 32, I explained that I shared my background with students in hopes of connecting with them. I want to be clear that while this is something I normally do, I also was encouraged by Department Chair Dr. Kilolo Brodie to do so as a means to build relationships with students. Dr. Brodie shared with me she had her own issues with students when she joined the faculty. She explained that she overcame her student issues, sometimes at the expense of the course material, by spending a great deal…

1. How does it feel teaching today compared to when you first started? Throughout the years, did you learn any new teaching methods? If so, which one was the most efficient? What has been your favorite aspect of teaching all these years? There is a lot more challenges and expectations related to the students. For example, I’ve noticed that children have more needs nowadays than years ago when I first taught. I have to teach a lot more using different modalities and do a lot of small group…

1) Describe what was taught in this virtual lesson. What teaching methods did you observe? How effective were these activities and methods in teaching the TEKS identified at the beginning of the video? What was taught was poetry and their sound devices. The students went over the vocabulary because you assigned several kids to look up that information on the dictionary. Then you read some poems to give examples of each word in the vocabulary.

evaluation. According to the text by Darling and Cassidy, a formative evaluation “Generates information for the purposes of planning, monitoring, and improving programs (p.155).” In addition, this system “may prompt changes during the program (e.g., re-teaching, removing barriers, etc.) to increase opportunity to reach program goals” (Kennedy, Lecture 11/1).

Graduation from teachers college will be an exciting moment in my life, as I am sure it is for many. One challenge for teachers in small towns who work in small schools is that they often have to teach more than one grade. Teachers face many challenges every day and it is important to remain effective in the process of completing all of these challenges. There are many ways teachers can be good at what they do, not everyone has to be the same. Effective teachers care about their students…

INTEGRATED CURRICULUM APPLICATION LESSON REFLECTION 1. What were your concerns prior to teaching your Integrated Lesson? I had many worries that came with this integrated lesson, but I would have to say my biggest concern was that I was going to have a hard time controlling the volume during this activity. The activity was very interactive and involved a price for the winning team. I thought this might cause some tension and craziness but it ended up going just fine and the children were very…

This semester I have felt very blessed and comfortable with my placement with Mrs. Carrillo at McCorkle Elementary. Learning something new every single time I walked in her classroom was definitely the high light of my week. The kids were always so happy to see me and I miss them as the days go by. I have endured many learning moments as well, where I did not plan accordingly, or the lesson did not go as planned. I worked through these times with my teacher and it was so great having her by my…
