Intro To Placement

1. Describe one thing that you learned? Easy outline for a lesson plan. How not to teach to children by using sarcasm such as Fred has experienced in his classroom.  How you use words is so important, and how careful you have to be about how the listener perceives them.  Resist student comparisons.
2. What questions do you have and/or what do you still want to know? Is a totally quiet classroom the right way to teach?  Is being too picky about absolute silence  a waste of my energy, and counter productive to the learning process?
3. What are you anxious about regarding student teaching/teaching? My tendency to over-talk a subject I know well.  I need to facilitate more and talk less.
4. What are you excited about regarding student teaching/teaching? Community building with the students, the parents, and the school.
