Welcome to Student Teaching!

Being a reflective practitioner is a signature characteristic of effective teachers. This semester, you'll hone your reflective skills by writing about your teaching life each day via a blog post, right here on Red Hot Teaching '12.

Happy teaching! Happy writing!

Skills

This is my first week teaching all day and I am proud that I have made it through the week almost. Tonight I was thinking back to a few weeks into student teaching and I felt like I would never be ready to teach  all day. I am happy to say that things get easier every day and I am enjoying myself. I have gained so many skills over student teaching and I hope to gain many more. I am able to manage a classroom by myself from the planning to delivering lessons and keeping up on grading and procedures. I have been trying to work on giving directions in a really clear way and on asking good questions and questioning techniques. I feel like I am getting better at both of those things as well. It is hard to believe I only have one more full week in fourth grade due to conferences.

  1. It's amazing how quickly you get ahead of this steep learning curve, isn't it? I can also point out that your skills around writing language objectives, and supporting aspects of a lesson plan with research, have all developed quickly during your student teaching.
