I need to finish my study so that I can help my parents. I don’t have any confidence in standing in front of many people. But this Practice teaching faced me in reality. “Teaching doesn’t measure how smart the mentor is; instead it is about how she will touch her students’ lives through her profession”. During the period of my practice teaching I realized so many things. One important thing that I learned was that, teachers don’t just need to teach based on the book.

I can say that teaching students is like planting a tree, …show more content…

Student teaching has fanned the fire of my passion for being a teacher and been a light onto the path of how to become the best I can be. Reflecting on each experience, the successful and the not so successful, has encouraged me to continue to persevere and grow from these challenges. Not only did I discover a great deal about teaching but I also learned a great deal about myself. I was able to surpass all the challenges that I have faced. I touch the lives of my students and to be part of them even in a very little way. It was a reward for a teacher to be recognized and appreciated by their students.

This gives opportunities for discussion, reflection and a chance to understand develop empathy for each other. ‘The ultimate objective is to enhance children’s ability to become socially and emotionally competent individuals who succeed in school’. http://incredibleyears.com/team-view/carolyn-webster-stratton/ To give a practical example of one of the key initiatives is to praise good behaviour not matter how small and ignore unacceptable behaviour so long as no harm will come to others.

Especially for their age, they are going through so much change and so many different experiences going on, that they need to have a teacher that can be a role model to them. It is going to be important for me to ensure that my students know that my classroom is an open-minded space, in which there will be growth and students striving for a goal throughout the year.

I was an apprentice for 3 years to the flamboyant and outspoken Professor Gloria Wood. She encouraged creative problem solving in her teaching techniques, and I too begin to think outside the box as I followed her lead. I used stories and picture to relate concepts from class to more practical things that students saw in their everyday life. Yet even though, I was a teaching assistant I never wanted to be a teacher. As a 7-year-old boy, I wanted to be an astronaut.

I never would have thought that I could teach another student their homework let alone help them understand it. I felt incredibly good after I knew that I had the chance to help multiple students not only with their homework but, help them make the right decisions when stuck in a predicament. It was an amazing feeling telling students how I achieved my goals and the process it took to achieve them while being at the University. The feeling you get when a person when someone looks up to you and they tell you gives you a feeling that is indescribable.

Being a teacher is a journey that has much to do with learning about yourself and being aware that what happens in your classroom reflects only on how are you with yourself. Teachers are not conscious that they project into students, and that affects how things go in the classroom. I believe the first characteristic of a good teacher is that he/ she is always willing to analyze his/her teaching performance. Second the teacher is humble enough to receive input about the development and application of techniques, learning from it and improving.
