1 Lessons from the classroom. Essay #3: Lessons from the Classroom. It has been a long rough month for me, but oh well such is life. Throughout this month I have had to relearn to do many things I thought I would never have to do again like public speaking, even though I feel comfortable speaking to crowds and groups, teaching a crowd or group of people is a whole other animal by itself. Out of everything I have learned this month I think the most important thing was to never go teach a class without having a lesson plan.
What is a good teacher? In my own humble opinion, a good teacher is one that not only teaches their students what it is they need to learn to pass a test or a grade, but is also someone that encourages …show more content…

4 Lessons from the classroom.

Professional development There is a infinite amount of books that could help you develop professionally. I believe that reading would be the most important tool of all of them if one wishes to continue developing, as for an actual institution any university with a program for English teachers will always be good.

Conclusion It was a long and tedious month when we as students had a limited amount of time to do all our teaching practices and assignments, the people I got to meet were excellent human beings and I would do it again if I had too. About the material the course gives well that is pretty basic and comprehensible, the teacher Ms. Byrd is a very nice older lady in love with Guadalajara that has a Brooklyn accent which is kind of cool. All in all the thing I enjoyed the most about learning to teach were the people I learned

  • Reflective Practice Essay

    874 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Latin root of the word ‘Reflection’ refers to the ‘moving back’ or getting or bending back” to something. This bending back is of significant importance in any profession, any task and any practice as suggested by Horwood (1989). Put in very simple words, every time we do something and later stop to think or ponder over what we did, how we did and why we did, consequently also thinking on what were the effects of such doing and if or how it could have been done better, then we are actually engaging ourselves in the process of reflection. Making this a part of our profession so as to bring constant improvement in the quality of our own performance is what we can say is bringing reflection to our practice; hence the term ‘Reflective Practice’ is used.

    992 Words  | 4 Pages

    English 102 through the Alabama Early College Program has taught me the importance of writing skills. When I first began online classes for English, I quickly started learning techniques that I needed to keep up throughout the semester. Each assignment and essay is due at midnight, therefore starting or finishing an assignment early allows the writer enough time to turn in the assignment. Throughout the five modules, I have learned how to write an argument and rhetorical analysis, conduct research and write an exploratory essay. In each module, I learned writing techniques and skills that I never knew before.

    1001 Words  | 5 Pages

    I have grown as an academic student in college and career readiness, as displayed through my English 101 class. This was my third college class on the campus of Los Angeles Mission College, so I thought I was prepared and ready. Yet in my English 101 class I had to come up with my own prompts for my essays and merely came into class to listen to lectures on the basics of English. This was the first class that the teacher did not give me the rules on what to do for the assignment, I had to come up with it myself. Professor Diaz-Cooper did not hand out How-To papers or grading rubrics - she expected us to know and acquire all this information on our own.

    Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom. I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
