The Most Important Thing I Learned This Year
The most important thing I've learned about myself as a teacher in the past term/year is that I lyove being in the school environment. I love being a support and facilitator to student learning, but also for school activities. The bottom line, is really helping the kids learn about life in this environment. I've seen kids mature and grow in the last year, especially those in the club. Kids that were extremely shy now are willing to step up and speak out for causes. They aren't just learning the book work, but also learning life skills such as teamwork, citizenship, negotiation, etc..
I agree. I enjoy the school environment and especially motivating the shy or misdirected student into becoming involved. Video Club has given more opportunity to work with the highly motivated students as well. I think that because of technology classes, and the hands on environment, we are able to truly enjoy the teacher-student relationship.
