What do I feel proudest of in my teaqching activities thsis week? Why?

In the week 8 of this semester we entered the lab and started cooking. The kids were very anxious to get there. This is my proudest moment because it allowed me to gauge if they "got it". Am I getting the point across to them - was I effective in my job as a teacher? By observing my students in the lab I was able to get feedback - live feedback and I was able to help them put their theoretical knowledge into the practical aspect of culinary arts.

This observation period is was a learning experienced for me - I saw that some students did not get it so I was able to adjust my method of teaching or reteach certain things so that the students were better able to understand the material fully. I all goes back to the various/different methods of receiving information. Some students do better by watching and doing while some may get it from the lecture method. This summer in NTI opened my eyes to the various methods of teaching so that the kids benefit from learning and most important we as teachers need to make learning fun and make it as interactive as possible. I have been using a variety of methods to ensure they are not bored. We all know that they are not all angels - I still get lots of complaints but I do see some progress. Keep up the hard work guys and enjoy your proudest moments!!!
