Practicum

As students, education is such an important phase in the developmental process. You begin with the basics, and eventually move on to more complicated forms of learning. For instance, as a baby you learn to walk, then crawl which is human instinct. But as you grow learning becomes more and more complicated. An important factor to learning is a teacher, and a teacher does not necessarily need to have the qualifications, for example most of your life as a baby, your parents teach you with…

As I’m working with ‘Under 2s’, I have noticed a discrepancy in their attention span. Children of ages 15-30 months attend to activities for 10-15 minutes when highly motivated. The complexity of the task also matters, as a demanding task requires so much concentration that their attention does not continue for more than 5-7 minutes. When exploring in a familiar place with a new toy, a child attends for 15 minutes or more. In a distracting place or when others stressors are interfering (sleep,…

advance in the future with their education. I have had a lot of people in the past try to talk me out of teaching and at first I didn’t let it bother me. When it started to get to me I changed my major and changed it back about five times. My first practicum my freshman year is what really made me realize I am in fact in the right career path. I have recently started having mixed feeling again. I know I want to be a teacher but I also would really like to be able to work with children along the…

Does it seem counter intuitive to list challenges or problems as issues when it comes to helping students? Shouldn't helping students be a top priority for instructors? What are your thoughts?

A great deal of work I have done over the past two weeks has involved organizing, preparing, and setting-up for on-campus events. On the day of the Phone Case event (March 15th), I had to set up Castle View with tables and chairs so the phone case makers would have space to work and students could sit while they waited for their phone cases to be made. Although I was not working while the phone case event was held, I was there to greet the people making the phone cases and see if they needed…

moved on to the high school. Gloria is a good mother. She has provided a positive home for her two children who were honor students through high school and who both attended college.

Another time, Gloria agreed to allow my daughter to interview her for a college research project. Gloria graciously invited us into her neat, clean home, served us refreshments, and shared some…

About 39% of teachers want a different job and 45% are dissatisfied with their current job. With these numbers in mind, we should be worried about who is going to be teaching your child. Teachers are entering the workforce only to leave a short time after. New teachers should have the focus and passion to stay in the field they studied for. In order to insure future candidates for education remain in education, they should go into a mentorship before they get to college. This epidemic has…

Aly Daniels Journal #1 Thoughts from the Week: The week seemed to take forever, once I entered the classroom. However, the favorite part of my day is the end of math, right before I leave for the day. This is my favorite part of practicum because it is a time when I actually get to work with, help, and interact with the students. This week was especially amazing because I helped a student who normally becomes frustrated during math. When I began helping this student she kept telling me that…
