The most important thing I've learned about myself
The most important thing I've learned about myself as a STUDENT during the past three semesters in NTI is how to be a better and more responsible teacher. I have learned the value of good lesson plans and good classroom management. I have also learned the value the value of teacher student relationships, and how to deal with special needs students. All students are different and learning the proper and correct uses of differentiating instruction has been so benifical in the school that I teach in. I have also learned that teaching is not just a job. A teacher is there for many things but the most inportant thing is to do the right thing for your students.
Resposibility is a big part of teaching. NTI did show us how to be more prepared for when we enter the classroom. I have a lot of respect for you and the job you do. Teaching students with special needs must be very challeging for you. I only have one or two of those students and it wheres me out. Teaching is not just a job, its much more than that. We do need to be there for our students when ever they need us.
