Personal Reflection: My Experience Of A Student Teaching Experience

741 Words3 Pages

During my most recent student teaching experience I had quite a small number of students in my classroom whose position was attention seeking, each student displayed this position in various ways. For example, one student was informed that I would be leaving within a week. This student began to request hugs every day and informing me that she would really miss me. Therefore, every day I would have to explain to this student that I was not leaving on a permanent basis and would only be one hallway over from her room. Additionally, I explained that I would be over on occasions to say hello to her and the other classmates. However, she continued to request a hug and ask why I would be leaving. Other students were more subtle about attention seeking, they would bounce out of their seats and rush to ask question. As they continued to display this behavior I would remind them to stay seated and raise their hand to gain my attention.
Moving on, there was a student that seem to have feelings of being uninformed and displayed behaviors that indicated the student was trying to avoid failure. This student would often get confused after a lesson and try at least two more times on a problem and then would completely shut down. He avoided his work and it was evident he did not want his peers to inform him he was doing a problem incorrectly. I sat with this student and explained to him that “mistakes are ok and I make them every day that is how we learn.”
One student exhibited outburst

    One of the history's greatest figures, Nelson Mandela, once said: “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Over the course of years, this statement has only become more relevant. Maybe that is the reason why the topic of the decline of the American education has been recently spurring such a heated debate among national academic and teaching communities. In “The Chronicle of Higher Education”, Carl Singleton, a faculty member at Fort Hays State University, also presented his reflections concerning the U.S. education system.

  • Holler If You Can Hear Me

    An important point I learned after reading Holler if You Can Hear Me by Gregory Michie is that teachers should care about their students because students will learn more if they know you care and then they will care to learn . Mr. Mitchie believes his students don’t care enough to learn about sexism, but the truth was that they were tired of spending 2 weeks on the same lesson. Mr. Mitchie will then get angry at his class and tell them that if they didn’t care to learn then he wouldn’t make them. In another instant a teacher named Miss. Reilly was tired of her class not listening to her that she threatened to quit, but a student named Samuel wrote her a letter and told her not quit.

    For example whenever my teacher is away he leaves me to teach my MMA class in his absence. This class is composed of many different types of people who each learn a little differently and must be taught in their own way. For example a little boy in this class that is around six or seven and has been diagnosed with ODD along with other disorders that make it hard for him to follow instructions and this causes problems with the flow of the class when one student won’t do what the rest of the class is doing. For example when we are warming up before we start to do technique this boy starts to do what the rest of the class is doing but then becomes distracted or starts to believe that he has reached his limits. When this happens I either call the boy up to the front of the class to do the exercises with me encouraging him or if we are working something new I would call one of our veterans to the front to continue demonstrating the move.

The teacher has an annotation chart that has different things that students can do. For example, if the students have a question about their reading they can put question marks next to it and more. This helps the students understand the reading much better and this also helps the teacher know the students need help with.
