This week at SBL I had an interesting week. Was good to be in a class for a full day on Wednesday and see how the day goes start to finish. Tuesday I observed a senior science lesson, and a middle math lesson. I choose both my children that I am using for my assessment and happy with the choices.
Highlights.
I'm really enjoying the science lessons, I thought this would be an area that Im not interested in but I've surprised myself and I like observing them.
Watching a teacher making a mistake during a math lesson and realising this and fixing it, made me realise teachers are humans and aren't always right.
I really enjoy being in a yr 2 class all day.
Challenges.
To control children who do not listen. I managed to do it in some situations but not another. I still think that the children do not see me as teachers, even though the school calls us Candidate Teachers at the school. I need to work on my firm voice.
Being professional with a teacher when they asked about other CT's maturity levels, I just held my tongue even though I wanted to agree with that teacher.
Keeping my mouth shut when I see and hear innaporitae things the other CT's are doing and saying, I think it's imbarrassing and reflects badly on the rest of us and the institute where we study.
What I learnt.
That modeled writing and shared writing are two different things, have seen examples of both.
That teachers make mistakes.
That most teachers don't even think of learning theories after teaching training.
That I should learn the guitar as it's a great tool for learning in class rooms as well.
