Well this semester has been both rewarding and challenging for me. I have experienced a variety of different emotions pertaining to teaching. One of the things I have learned that I found to be very rewarding in the need to model for my students. I say this because it has really bothered me since my second teach. I feel like that without proper modeling for my students it really makes learning difficult. I also have learned how important class management is to making class time productive and to get the most out of it. Today I had a not so pleasant experience with the front office at Akin which I feel like I could have handled better and as was told to me there are just some people at a school that are helpful and some that are not and it is a good rule of thumb to know which ones you can count on and which ones you can’t. I have also learned that I can work as a team no matter what my personal fear feelings are especially if me and that person work good together when it really matters. I have more than enjoyed my co-teaches a lot more than I expected, that has been a very rewarding experience. Even though I found this course to be more then intense I have truly enjoyed it and working with my fellow colleagues and professors.
