I can’t believe how quickly practicum is flying by. I am feeling really good about my practicum and all of the information I have learnt. I noticed in the past few weeks that I’ve really been feeling like the teacher in my classroom; I really like this feeling. I have had more opportunities to let the students in and dismiss them, which was one of the things I was wanting to work on doing. I have also been working on my assessment of the students. I am planning a small test for them and working to understand how I can make it as fair as possible. I have also created charts that monitor student behavior while working in groups, work habits, behavior while I’m teaching and non-specific ones that can be altered depending on the subject. I find this to work the best for me so far. The only thing that I need to work on is writing things down right away when I notice them in class because I can’t always remember them by the time it is the end of the day. I fid this hard while teaching but I think with more practice I’ll figure out how to balance both.
