Teacher Reflections

Prac

I thought I would blog a little about prac. It is nearing the end of my semester at uni, and I really think the thing I am going to miss most of all is my prac class.

It images like this, which to me, capture the essense of the class. It is so vibrant when the kids were enjoying learning and relating to the teacher. I am, on a teacher share (and composite) class. I think the thing I have hardest is working with two different teachers who have very different styles of teaching. It is good, in one sense, because I get to see a lot during my time at the school, but there are things which make me cringe.
I have really realised that it is important to me to really love teaching "my class" and to take interest in who they are, even if it means spending 5 minutes extra at the beginning of the day talking to little johnny who won his soccer game on the weekend!
Teacher's can have such a powerful impact on kids, I can see that from my own experiences at school, and I want it to be positive for my students. It is so important for kids to love to learn, and I feel priveliged to have the chance to educate them.
