Reflection of the Course
This course has been extremely beneficial and eye-opening to me. In wanting to become a teacher, I have struggled with “how do I know what to teach,” “how do I find what I need to help me teach, such as, lesson plans, supplemental materials, etc.”
The websites that were most useful were Read, Write and Think, Lesson Plans Page, Learn NC, Teachers Network, etc.
My favorite article is the last one read for Unit 4, … Developing Approaches to Vocabulary Instruction with Secondary Mathematics, Art, … Teachers.” I have become a fanatic about literacy and reading and vocabulary learning since I have been taking this class. This article really opened my eyes as to how I can help my math and science students increase their vocabulary and learn more about what I am trying to teach.
I want to continue to find websites which provide applicable, valid resources for student learning in math and science and how to incorporate reading in these areas.
I plan to create a blog for my classroom and link it to my teacher website from school. I think this is a great way to communicate with parents and students.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this class. It required a lot of research and a lot of writing and work! However, it will only make me a more knowledgeable and responsive teacher as I strive to meet the needs of my students.
