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.

My first thougts about the block experience

My first thoughts about this experience are very optimistic and I am looking forward to what seems to be a rewarding experience.  It is very fast paced and a lot of material to be covered.  I have learned a lot of new things especially professional ethics that I think will come in handy.  I also think that the reading portion of the class will be just has beneficial to me as it will be for me in teaching my content area.  All though I feel very overwhelmed  my overall experience has been great and I am looking forward to what is to come.
