The Road So Far...

This last month of the class has been amazing. I have learned many great lessons. Time management was the biggest idea that I had trouble with.  I have learned since then that in the long run time management is a huge part of being successful. Another lesson I learned this last month is, its ok to not get something right the first time. There are a lot of resources you can use to help you get things right or in order. I have learned that you need to have certain objectives in each lesson you teach. One resource that has helped me grow throughout the process is the substitute training modules. these modules include being professional, Classroom management, teaching strategies, legal issues and special education.  Each section has a test at the end, honestly, this course has been super helpful. In my lesson plan, I used the KWL chart, this chart I got from the Sub training course. I have also been reading through the edTPA handbook, even though it is a lot of infor...

March  As March is coming to a close, I would like to talk about some of the things I have learned and observed.  One of the most helpful activities I have been able to participate in is when Angela came and taught.

I help out with the Dawg Day that happened on campus over the weekend, I gave tours and talked to a hand full of parents about questions they had about the school. Even though the students weren't in my classroom it was a good way to further my ability to talk with them and their parents. Going along with talking to parents, one of the NCTCS I feel as though I have improved on this month would be standard number three: Teachers Know the Content They Teach.  The reason I say this is because, going back t...

First impressions

         The first month of EDUC 250 has been great. I have learned so many things such as; how to unpack standards, how to write a semi-decent lesson plan and also how to use twitter. Twitter is a great source, I didn't realize that social media like Twitter could be so relatable. Also while making our infomercial I learned that imovie is amazing, easy to work with, and FREE...           Some of the ways I have been learning outside of the classroom is through other people. This semester, even though it has just started, has given me the chance to learn many things. I have been looking through the standards online trying to figure out where I might want to teach in the future. I had m heart set on k-2 but, I really like science and I know my favorite year in school was my fifth-grade year just because it was so hands-on in the science part of the lesson.           I think the NCTCS I can relate ...
