Major Practicum Summative Reflection (2020-05-21)

My practicum experience was a time of rapid growth and professional development. Most importantly I gained confidence to implement the skills I already have giving me time to home in and work on those areas I find more challenging. During my time in the classroom I set daily goals and feel I was successful at […]

Major Practicum Week 3 Reflection (2020-03-14)

My third week of practicum went well I think that the students are getting used to having me instead of their regular teacher and I am getting more comfortable with each group as time goes on. I am still working to find the right ratio of direct instruction to facilitated group work and individual practice […]

Major Practicum Week 2 Reflection (2020-03-08)

My second week of practicum went well overall however it was truly the week of interruptions, from assemblies to continuous announcements during class time. I do not feel this significantly affected my ability to instruct however it did reduce the amount of work that was completed. My biggest struggle this week was pacing my classes […]

Practicum 2 Week 1 Reflection (2019-11-30)

During this first week of practicum I have been fortunate to sit in on a large number of classes. I have found that many of the instructors within this school work in a relatively similar framework to one another that involves a relatively large traditional lecture component. For me this is something that makes sense […]

Practicum 1 Week 2 Reflection (2019-10-04)

In this second week of practicum I had the opportunity to teach for two lessons. I feel that overall the lesson I taught went quite well. I think that my lesson planning was successful and complete for the topic that I was covering. One thing that I have been hoping to improve upon from my […]

Practicum 1 Week 1 Reflection (2019-09-27)

This week has been primarily observation period and I have had the opportunity to experience a variety of different teaching styles and classrooms. I think the thing I have found most striking through my experience is the differing teaching styles that come from the same teacher when working with different groups of students. I think […]
