I am especially glad that I have been able to see how this course will compliment my plans to become a primary teacher, with specific examples being used within school settings. This had been playing on my mind prior to the course as to how useful these skills will be, yet during this first session my uncertainty has diminished and I am confident that I will learn skills for my future career and benefit many everyday situations.…
I started out as a sub. I did not go to any pieces of training when they hired me when I got called in for the first time they just put me in the classroom that needed the extra help. When I first walked in, I felt very uncomfortable, because I was nervous if I did anything out of the ordinary or if I mess up the lesson plan. I also did not know to interact with the children. Thankfully I had an old high school friend, Cecilia Ceja, who was in the same room.…
I use to think that being a teacher was going to be a short eight hours of teaching and being with children. Having summers off made being a teacher seem a lot more beneficial to. Being a teacher seemed to be the easiest career choice out there for me. After viewing the second grade classroom in Shepherdstown Elementary it is safe to say that I have changed my opinion of teaching. There is unquestionably another side to the world of a teacher that can only be seen inside a classroom. Watching the students made me realize that being a teacher will no doubt carry some difficulties but, it will all pay off in the end. Observing has made me realize that there is more to teaching, the classroom, and what goes on inside.…
In this essay, I will outline my understanding and knowledge of human interaction both with my own personal real world experience as well as using a piece of fiction to reflect on the manner. Having worked several jobs since I was 17 years old, I have had the opportunity to work with a large variety of different and unique individuals. During this time not only did I learn to communicate and interact better and “come out of my shell” more, it allowed me to learn the importance of team work as well as the value of human interaction itself. In the next paragraphs I will explain this more in detail in a way the hopefully meets the outcomes of understanding for the human relations course.…
The journey of education is continuous. My hope is that my students never stop learning as long as they live. As human beings, students have a spirit of curiosity to discover their purpose, the difference between…
I have had the chance to serve as a tutor, a peer advisor, and as a teaching assistant for a variety of courses while I was an undergraduate and in my current role as an AmeriCorps VISTA. Through these positions, I had to chance to lead class periods and I have found that I enjoy teaching at the university level, as compared to the times that I have helped with elementary and middle school classes. I fully enjoy seeing students finally understand a concept they have had trouble with and connecting students with their passion. Watching them take that spark and ignite it into something much larger than themselves has been one of the most rewarding…
My name is Jason Lee and I teach 6th grade mathematics at Hightstown Middle School in Hightstown, New Jersey. I can't say I particularly enjoy my job, but I still give it my best. I do enjoy spending time with my students, and any occasion when we can all laugh together is a good one. Most students who pass through school here will go on to work at low-income jobs for the rest of their lives. The few students who do seem to have potential for a bright future rarely achieve one.…
The fear of darkness is a phobia for those who have been affected by it in some way or the other. It is not the fear of the dark but the possible risks concealed by darkness. This kind of fear can sometimes prevent us from unpleasant situations. Not everybody around experiences this fear, otherwise people would not be hired as security guards or night watchers but for those who do have this fear have an associated learning experience. This essay narrates about an informal learning experience leading to the fear of the dark.…
My overall clinical experience was an amazing opportunity! I learned so many helpful things over the past few months at my placement that I will be sure to take with me throughout my future nursing career. During my experience, I was able to see a writer's workshop first hand, as well as many other subject lessons. I always thought it would be hard to implement writing into many subject areas, but my teacher showed me that it was possible. The class that I was with was a little troublesome, but they got the job done when it came down to it. My teacher displayed wonderful classroom management, which is another thing that I worry about as a perspective teacher. She was able to keep the students engaged in the lessons and keep them on task. A few of the students had minor behavior problems, but it was nothing that she could not handle. My teacher was an organized mess, which is almost identical to me! It was a great experience to be placed with a teacher that was so much like me when it came to organization.…
This experience was eye opening because seeing how happy the kids understand something made me feel like I did a good job teaching…
Running track probably benefited me more than most people. When I ran track I just didn’t benefit from the physical exercise, but track benefitted me in many other ways I didn’t come to realize until I did a little self examination on myself. Looking back I realized track didn’t just make me more powerful physically. It also learned that it made me more powerful mentally. Through track I also learned how competitive I am. If I didn’t run track I don’t know if I’d be as physically and mentally powerful, or if I’d be as competitive.…
My whole life I've been told practice makes perfect. Whether it's in the tennis court or in math class, the more you practice something, the better you become at it. In the last few years I've found out that practicing and doing is not the same thing. Harry Callahan once said, _"experience is the best teacher"_ and without a doubt it is. You can sit five hours taking a business class or 10 hours in a tennis practice but until you go out to the real world and start doing business with other people or play a real tennis tournament you wont _really_ LEARN. When experiencing things we all make mistakes and making mistakes, in the broad scheme of things, is good as long as we learn from them. Through the different experiences I've had through tennis, my musical adventures and my business deals, I've learned from my errors, picked myself up from the ground, and ultimately grown as a human being.…
I learned a lot of things in this subject. I am lucky to have the opportunity to observe a school because through this, I learn how to adjust student’s attitude and behavior to handle a particular class.…
During our training at Balik-Manggagawa, I learned a lot of things such as interacting with other people. We know that people have different characteristics and attitudes, however, making friends with them is not that difficult. I learned to build on my competence, professionalism in dealing with people, discipline and ability to communicate with people. I gained self-confidence and maturity which are needed in the work and acquired the ability to work harmoniously with employers, workers and other trainees. I also have taken and developed values to become productive individuals like commitment, interpersonal relationship, teamwork, professional behavior, enthusiasm, politeness and punctuality.…
