Journal Entry 2 ExperienceAs this is ongoing throughout my student teaching, I feel that with more experience the ideas of what to reinforce will always be around and ever changing. At every school there is something that could be reinforced and added to the way that you teach. So overall the idea from this journal post and the 4 weeks that I have been student teaching is that of experience. Mainly just with viewing how other teachers, learning where you draw the line on projects, behavior and just any aspect of teaching for me. You can never say you don’t have enough experience, and that was the first word that came to my mind when thinking about things to add to my teaching is that of more experience. AttitudeRelating to experience I think that for me now teaching and dealing with attitude from students and the behaviors that are commonly seeing in the school that I am in is on thing that I need to work on reinforcing in the classroom. I will be honest that sometimes I get angry with students that are being defiant, showing rude or disrespectful attitudes towards anyone in a teaching or authority position at the school. And when I come face to face with this I tend to leave the conversations, before I start to get into a battle with them, as thats what they want to do is argue. I feel that I will forever as a teacher have to deal with the attitude from students, its just about experience with these types of students that you learn how to discipline them, what you can and can’t do with individual students, and even if its worth it. Ive reached the point right now with this, thinking, “is this worth getting into an argument with the student about?” and “will it even change or effect the way this student behave later on in other classes?” Now I know this isn’t a common thing that happens at every school, but in schools similar to the one that I am at for student teaching, and as society changes for kids, I foresee this becoming a bigger issue and thing that gets discusses more in schools. OrganizingAnd lastly I think that I could add organizational skills or making things even more organized for me and the students in the long run, in my own classroom. Right now the classroom is organized but sometimes I notice that the students become disorganized or ruing the organization that is in place for the other classes and me as the co-teacher. So making things clearer on where things are to go, what happens during clean up and for me, making things easier for students to be responsible for their own organizing of the materials.
