First Week Into Practicum<\/strong><\/p>\n

This past week has given me the opportunity to feel totally immersed and involved in a classroom setting.\u00a0 I was able to step out of the observation role and engage with students as their teacher on multiple occasions. I felt the first occasion; a reflection I facilitated on their unit of inquiry was most rewarding. I approached the lesson as if they were the ones with all the knowledge because I hadn\u2019t been at the school for very long, and I asked them what they could share. The students provided me with very responsive feedback, enough for me to see that their unit was effective in its teaching and left them with some interesting facts and experiences. As I walked around the room overseeing them write in their journals, I noticed \"unknown\"<\/a>some of them had a couple IB learner profile traits within their reflections. It was neat to see all the theory we\u2019ve been doing at UBC put into practice, and the kids understanding and incorporating the learner profile into their working memory.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m pretty excited to move forward into the next unit of inquiry, simple machines, because I\u2019m going to ask them to be risk takers and thinkers by figuring out how to lift each other using pulleys. Not only will they be thinking critically and exploring new ideas, but they\u2019ll have the opportunity to be outside and moving! It should be a great week, I\u2019ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n
