It was a relief to have Ms. Geotzinger co-planning the math lesson with me, I appreciated and respected her experience and willingness to support my learning. Ms. Geotzinger was very good about giving me the freedom and encouragement to design the lesson, responding to my questions (even the dumb ones) with positive feedback, which I…

Another way technology is utilized is through the use of smart boards and smart projectors which have been in every classroom I have observed thus far. Fairfax county provides prepared smart board activities in their pacing guides for many of the lesson plans. The smart projector is put to good use in Ms. Kenney’s class.

Grammar should be taught in different ways, because it is important for the student to feel comfortable with it. I understand that students learn differently…

necessarily shock. I really started the lesson feeling like I knew what was happening. I had a copy of the lesson plan and I thought I could handle it. It was quite obvious that the rest of my classmates were very shocked, and they looked very confused. However, my confidence was quickly dashed.

The lesson felt so much longer than…
