Things I've Learned About Myself as a Teacher
The most important thing I've learned about myself as a teacher in the past term/year is . . .” I have a strong passion for teaching and connecting with students who are in my program as well as others who are trying to transfer into my program. I have experienced a large amount of students who have heard about the program and have taken steps to changing their pathway. I have been told by several teachers how my students talk about my class and wanting to be a part of the Video Production team. Several of my students have been showcased on the Atlanta Public Schools website and have been recognized for their work on the APS Today television show. I hope I can continue to make a change in the future journalists of tomorrow.
It does make you feel good when the kids talk about your class all the time and they don't mind working hard when you ask them to. When I was looking at numbers for next year it was suprising to see the number of kids that want to be in my class. It speaks alot about you as a teacher and your program when they speak about it outside of your room. Continue the great work that you do for the students.
ReplyDeleteBernardo ...isn't great to have a hands-on class in which students can plug into and use their abilities. Some kids will use their technical skills, or journalism skills to find a job. You are giving them opportunity and confidence. It is a fun class and a great learning environment. This pathway can truly create broadcasters of tomorrow.
