Reflection On Community Placement

How does this activity/center relate to the curriculum areas you cited above? 4.4.5 states children are able to accept guidiance from adults and apply it to their daily routines. Children learn from demistration and repeditivness. It is also stated that children respond better when they are given

It's a place where the adults can unwind. On your last program I wish the Healthy aging programs

The center operates as an alternative to the traditional k-12 education provided by the district. The wonderful program works diligently to serve the many needs of the district's

Their Mission is, “We are committed to providing quality comprehensive services for the child and his/her family. Our activities are geared toward nurturing the growth and development of the children enrolled, involving parents in the program and providing them with opportunities to enhance their understanding and knowledge.”. This is where I actually did my service. I was placed in a classroom with 21 kids from the age 3-5. Immediately after walking into the room, a number of them got up from their storytime and hugged us and drug us over to sit with them.

The first teaching lesson for a semester seems to be the most nerve wrecking experience, for me. This semester in Uteach 1202, Stephen Kolb and I, Janecia Hagood taught Dr. Won 7th grade Life science class at Blackmon Road Middle School. We had a great time teaching the students about the dichotomous key. Overall, some lesson intentions were met, some aspects of the lesson were better than others, and we got feedback for improvements.

I try to stay to myself and away from everyone so I can succeed and really try to improve my life so I can accomplish all of my goals. There are staff members which are qualified here at Woodland. And there are staff who want to see you succeed. What I think could be an improvement is when we make a good or bad decision assist us more in how to evaluate what we did and then where we can make improvements. None the less the center provided mostly good because of all of the information you can have to help you in life.

Throughout, the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege to teach diverse groups of students. As a result, I have become proficient at designing creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodates the needs

I was fortunate to be placed in Ms. Gohil’s classroom because her classroom was dedicated to students with special needs. This allowed me to experience first hand what an actual special education teacher does during a typical class day. I also was able to see paraprofessional work with the students on constant bases, not like my previous experience where the paraprofessional would only visit the child for approximately 20 - 30 mins per class period. What I also like was that I witnessed various behavioral changes from students and was able to see in real time how the teacher and paraprofessional handled these behaviors. At first, I did not understand some of the techniques that were being used, but then I would ask Ms. Gohil questions and

As part of this program I would be able to get more involved in my new community

The article, “Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say,” by Steven C. Reinhart that was published in 2000 was quite an interesting read. Throughout this article, the author explained a teaching technique that he thought was the most effective for students to learn the most. He explained that it was a process; it wasn’t a technique that could be implemented and accomplished within a few days. The main idea of this philosophy was to have the students do the explaining and the teacher do the listening, which is completely opposite of the normal classroom setting.

These students will just rely on their inadequacy of knowledge to conform to mediocrity and get sidetracked in their path. This is why the creativity in lesson plans is an essential requirement for any teachers. Textbooks will only bring one perspective to a matter, formulas and definitions will become less exciting if they are only understood in one way. Still, there are teachers that devote their time to excite their students brains on these seemingly boring knowledge, one example of them are the author’s senior English teacher, Mr Jack McFarland.

The program provides opportunities for the youth to learn and develop life skills pertinent to everyday life as well as provide them with leadership opportunities and experience within the community. DUET not only empowers

Throughout my training, I implemented various strategies for engaging students in small groups and rigorous lessons. My role as a teacher is to communicate effectively, be respectful, and have self-worth and confidence. I did fear making wrong choices throughout this field experience. I set high expectations the students to achieve high goals. Teaching to me opened doors to many students’ lives.

But lecture method itself may not be the best way to understand the concepts behind a complex subject that we have today in our curriculums. However, I have to say that having some things listened and rehearsal ahead of time did help us figure out more challenging aspects of the theories, concepts and
