Becoming a teacher of science!!!
Throughout Science methods, I have learned a lot about myself and teaching science. At the beginning of the semester, I was nervous about all the work that was being given to us. I have learned a lot about science and how to be the best teacher of science. One important thing I learned was to make science engaging and the students should be their own teachers. I also learned how important reflections and feedback are. In many classes, you do not receive feedback from your peers so it was great to hear the positives and the needs to work on. Improvements can be made through reflections and can make me a better teacher. I also became a semi-professional with technology. I had to use many different websites and tools that I was not comfortable with at first, but they all showed me new and exciting resources that can be used in the future. I have made so many great friends in this class that will one day be amazing teachers! They have taught me a lot. This class was definitely a long journey but in the end, it was rewarding. I cannot believe how far I have come over this semester. I am always excited to start a new journey. In January I am on to my last methods course, WOOHOO!
Hi Maria,
ReplyDeleteGreat reflection on the course. I agree that this class helped me develop more engaging lessons. I also now have a greater appreciation for feedback to help me grow professionally. See you in January!
Maria,
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree with you more about this experience. I was overwhelmed in the beginning and nervous about teaching in front of my classmates because I thought my lesson wasn't going to be effective. However, when I listened to everyone's comments I realized that both lessons had the potential to become effective lesson plans. I will see you in January for my last methods class too!
