What I've Learned This Year
Mr. McClung's post about what he has learned since becoming a teacher encompasses everything that a teacher or a future teacher should keep in mind among their students. An upcoming teacher is usually concerned with how they present information so much so that they forget to check for understanding or interest. An educator can get caught up in having a certain way for everything, and they forget to be flexible and considerate of their students. Once a person becomes an educator, they forget that they THEMSELVES still have learning to do, in order to make the learning environment a better place.
Hi Khaela!
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you wrote about people teachers needing to constantly educate themselves! Times change, and we must stay current with everything in order to be a productive memeber of the educational society! I think all of Mr. McClung's advice was very helpful! Great post!

Everything. Mr. McClung covered a lot. But everything?
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely correct when you say that we must all be learners - lifelong learners at that!

Hi Khaela. I enjoyed reading your post. I especially what you said about how teachers forget to check for understanding or interest. So many students will go through school, not understanding something, and never ask any questions. Because of this, they quickly lose interest in the subject. Great post, and keep blogging!
