The Most Important Thing I Have Learned As A Student

The most important things I've learned about myself as a STUDENT during the past three semesters in NTI is . . . that you are always a student and it is important how students are treated. You are never too old to learn something new. Any one can learn if they are treated with respect and encouraged to do their best at all times. The video that we viewed on poker chips really enlightened me as a student and a teacher. I have learned how unprepared I was to manage lab and classroom in a learning environment. I am now prepared, thanks to NTI, to successfully manage the students. In my area of content, we are in the lab most of the time, so lab management is critical. Since we spend so much time in the lab, I needed a way to grade the students to show that they are gaining knowledge. I learned how to create rubrics and scorecards through NTI. These items have enabled me to grade their knowledge and learned skills in their lab activities. I plan to be a life long student.

  1. Your are right in that you never too old to learn. We are not old in the mind, but maybe in body. I also feel that learning is a life long process. You and I have learned a lot from the poker chips video. The lab management skills are real important for you and I that we learned at NTI. Good Luck
