Final Post

Explain the most challenging part during your field experience: I think the thing I struggled with the most during field is timing, I am really bad at keeping my lessons in the right time frame. I like all the student input and comments and it is hard for me to cut them off and move on when there are still students who want to contribute. I got better at moving forward throughout field my first lesson I had to stop in the middle of it because I ran out of time, the other 3 lessons I taught were much closer to my time limit but it is still something I struggle with. Explain your greatest success during your field experience.: I think my greatest success was really caring about the students, I learned their names quickly, got to know them and tried to individualize my lessons to the students. I really want to do a great job and I put a lot of effort and thought into my lesson plans. What recommendations would you make to others based on your field experience? Have your lessons planned out ahead of time so that you can just make small adjustments while in field. Plan a pre-test and a post-test that is the same so you can really gauge what the students learned. Learn the students names day 1 (or 2) because it lets them know how important they really are.
