1. Were there any incidents during the week? If so, how did it go?

There were no incidents throughout this week. Everything went smoothly; all the students stayed on task, were focused, and put in the effort needed to succeed in class.

2. Name three things you will take away from your 10-week practicum experience.

a) Always keep an open mind. Whether it be new projects, ideas, procedures, instructions, etc. you should keep an open mind and try to absorb as much information as possible. Having more information about anything and everything will ultimately help you.

b) Learn to adapt to different learning styles. Each student will learn differently, and ultimately, it is up to the teacher to have adaptive teaching styles so that students learn the most they can throughout the semester and year.

c) Have fun. If you aren’t having fun as a teacher and educator, you are doing something wrong or in the wrong profession. Teaching should be fun and interesting to both the teacher and student, and all in all be a wonderful experience. Yes, you will have your ups and downs, but in the end, teaching should be a overall fun experience.
