What I've Learned

The most important thing I've learned about myself as a teacher in the past year is that I’m getting better as a teacher. When I first started, I had an experienced teacher working with me. He worked with me for an entire year at which point I felt more comfortable. All of the training I have gotten and still getting are very helpful as it is assisting me in different aspects of the profession. From dealing with students to creating an atmosphere of cooperative work, I am slowly getting a little bit better. In the past year, I have been implementing more project based activities, since I have a better sense of grading the students as a group and individually. I am discovering that I am having a better year this year than in the past. I don’t seem to be as tired when I get home each day from dealing with the students. I am now convinced that being a facilitator is much better than being the “teacher” to my students. Who knows, maybe in the future I will achieve “Master Teacher”.
