Blog # 9
This was a blog about what Mr. McClung had learned in his first year of teaching elementary education. He broke the blog down into seven different points. With these seven points, he shows how we need to focus on the students learning the material rather than us, the teachers, teaching the material. he said we should not get caught up trying to make a perfect lesson plan, because there is no such thing as a perfect lesson plan. Things will always come up when you are trying to teach. The students might not learn the material as quickly as you had hoped so you have to be flexible with your plans. He said we need to listen to our students. I think that if we connect with our students it will be easier to teach. They will want to listen to you, because you listened to what they had to say.

Listening and connecting is definitely the key to helping your students learn!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Samuel!
ReplyDeleteMr. McClung’s post is an example of the kind of reflection it takes to be a good teacher. As teachers we must constantly reflect on what we are doing, why we are doing it, and whether or not what we are doing benefits the students. I believe that as long as we do this and keep the students in the center, all of the rest of it will fall into place. SS
