Encounter with the Teachers

My interactions with the teachers have a great deal of meaning for me. I did not find it difficult to practice teaching because of these teachers, they did not fail to support and guide us in what we do as student teachers. And I will go on the knowledge and advices that they give to us. Meeting this outstanding teacher is a privilege. I learned a lot from them.

Encounter with the Principal

Even though we only had a short time to meet the principal, we felt welcomed and accepted by him wholeheartedly. his kindness and humbleness is super wondrous. We strive to be the greatest teachers we can be because of the inspiration he gave us.

My Takeaways

I have learned so much over this semester of student teaching, and there have been so many successes and problems. I have been forced out of my comfort zone, and as a result, I have significantly improved as a teacher.

My student teaching experience has been the best, most informational and inspiring experience in many years. My student teaching experience taught me a lot of things that will influence how I teach for years to come. Being confident is the largest and most significant lesson I gained during my student teaching experience. Even though it was online, and I was teaching my students material that I knew inside and out at the beginning of the semester, I was a little nervous. But after a few weeks, I felt more at ease speaking in the class. This experience has taught me that when you face your students with a happy and assured approach, students are far more likely to buy into your lecture and pay attention to you. My students and I both enjoyed teaching more after I felt more comfortable in the classroom. And also the most important thing i have learned in teaching is to consider the students, in everything you teach and do in class you need to consider your students, if the lesson is easy for them, and if they understand it. Engagement with the students are very important.
