This week was very interesting to experience. \u00a0There were constant highs and lows that were not things that I felt prepared for. \u00a0I felt like all my highlights for the week were all little things related to establishing myself as a teacher in the classroom. \u00a0Little things like being asked by students if I had time to stay after class to ask questions, or having students email me questions just to make sure that they are on the right track for their assignment made me feel like I was officially viewed as their teacher. \u00a0This made me feel good because the students feel comfortable and trust me enough to ask me questions now. \u00a0The low points of this week were all related to executing lessons and getting lesson activities done in the time I allotted for them. \u00a0Three days in a row I didn’t manage to dismiss my PE class on time, causing students to be late for their second block.<\/p>\n
I find that none of the UBC courses actually prepared me enough for either of these situations. \u00a0For my PE methodology class, it prepared me to create a lesson, have back up and extension activities, but it didn’t really teach me how to think on the spot to modify my lesson so that I would be able to teach everything that I needed to cover while still being flexible with my time. \u00a0I found that this was the main source of my trouble with dismissing students on time this week. \u00a0On the flip side they also never prepared me enough for the joy that we would feel about all the little milestones and successes along the way, such as with students asking me for help and questions outside of class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
