Reflection on microteaching Lesson I must say that to me microteaching was not an easy ride. I was quite nervous and a bit shy when I did the first microteaching compared to the second one. Hence, there was much evidence of composure teaching the second class. I had found it extremely difficult teaching my peers compared to teaching high school students. However, after completing the first microteaching and receiving honest feedback from my peers I felt quiet comfortable in teaching them.
I am pleased with how organized and prepared my class and lesson was. The class …show more content…

After reviewing the video and comparing with the first microteaching lesson I did extremely well as a result of being more relaxed and confident. At one point I was a little apprehensive because I thought my peers and professor were not understanding the 5/20 rule. Everyone was a bit quiet, but I get to understand during the feedback that they were trying to cement the new information in their brain. I really wish we had more time to go in depth, such as including more comparisons of different nutrition fact labels and to have the closure to my lesson. I had planned a competition between two groups, side A and side B based on the lesson which time didn’t allow us to get it done. But as my professor says, this do happen at times so don’t beat upon yourself. The two microteaching classes was a good refresher for me since I haven’t taught a class in the past four years yet so a higher education class, a great experience. In a nutshell, although my microteaching was not an easy ride, I must appreciate that more was learnt than could imagined. I gained vast experience in preparing lesson plans and teaching as per its guidelines for higher education. Also gained a fair amount of courage to face a higher education class and deliver appropriately. Finally, am now certain that I can comfortably handle any higher Education class once adequately prepared. Having successfully completed my two-micro teaching exercise, I now got a glimpse of what is expected in a real higher Education

    In the middle of the winter of the 5th grade school year at the Kaneland Mcdole Elementary School, I decided to cover for my best friend so he wouldn't get in trouble from my teacher. It was very cold while I waited at the bus stop every morning trying to amuse myself by sliding down the icy driveways. Ethan S., Sergio, and Grant were my best friends in 5th grade. Sergio was Mexican and a little shorter than me. He also sat next to me in desks of 5 or 4.

    This year has been a ride to say the least… We came in thinking that we would be taught by Dr.Rice, a woman known by the to be eccentric at times but incredibly intelligent and wise. The reality of the situation was that halfway through the year we were removed from her teaching and put in a different class altogether. This change was sudden and honestly a major inconvenience to the class as a whole. We did learn yes but it felt rushed and and spastic like the whole time we were cramming info into our brains rather than taking our time to learn and digest the material.

  • MHA Program Reflection

    One of the most important actions that a student can take, is to be honest, and self-reflective, about the level of understanding achieved after completing any course within his/her education career. From my personal view, I feel that this class provided me with a great introduction to the MHA program, and is setting me up for successful in this educational program; but with that being said I would not pretend that I was able to assimilate every concept that was presented in this course, I would definitely need to continue to review the material in this course and on the MHA program overall, so that I could be a knowledgeable, and effective Health Care Manager. When it comes to my ability to discuss the different learning outcomes, I have to say that I definitely acquired a much deeper understanding of the material presented in this course. The materials were not difficult concepts to understand, but sometimes the way the material was delivered made it a difficult task just to read through the information, but as I would imagine, we are trying to achieve an education at a much higher level, which requires the processing and understanding of much more complex information, that sometimes will be

    The students were highly engaged. I could say that the concepts to be learn were explicitly linked to ELLs’ background experience and past learning. I listened to the teacher’s speech and voice projection, it was appropriate (not too slow, not too fast), and she emphasized the importance of being respectful/active listeners. She ensured that each students had sufficient time to respond to her questions, and clarify if a student seemed confused (regarding the objectives). As the students did the group work, Mrs. Carbone foster noticing.
