This past week I had observed a full week of courses to help me prepare for my student teaching internship. I had a lot of fun watching Mr. Kalupson, Mrs. Balmer, and Mrs. Lichtley working with students. The things that I have learned this week alone have helped me shape how I want to structure my classes in the coming weeks.Throughout this week I have been working with the FFA chapter officers in preparing for their upcoming meeting. Getting the opportunity to work with the students makes me excited for the coming weeks as I start teaching and mentoring more. One thing that I have really taken away from this week was that students need someone who empathic in their lives in order to drive inspiration and motivation. I am excited for next week.
Luke, having an empathetic role model figure can help connect with students and establish the type of rapport needed for positive classroom interactions. What have you learned from observing this week? Please share something that really stood out!
