Teaching this semester at Beattie elementary has been an incredible experience in cultivating the Educator I am now as well as the educator that I will become.
Over the course of this semester, I was fortunate to work with an amazing group of kids in at Beattie as well as students that participated in Brainy. Throughout the time I had working with the students, I came across a variety of situations where I found myself asking, “How can I create an effective dialogue with my students? This included the way in which I give out praise, to more specifically how can what I say be of value to them in understanding what I am asking them to do. additionally, why are they learning what they are and how can I communicate the importance of the components of the lesson in an understandable way? Another thought that was on the forefront of what I taught included the way in which I approach feed back.
