What I've Learned This Year
Mr. McClung has done a excellent job with giving tips to future educators. I agree with just about everything he said, but one of my favorite lines was when he said that lessons should be student centered, not teacher centered. I'm sure we have all had a bad teacher at one time or another and maybe some of us do right now. We all know that it's not any fun and now that we are a bit older I would say that alot of that bad teaching could be chalked up to lessons not being student center but teaher centered. It takes more time to have a student centered lesson plan apposed to a teacher centered lesson, but if you want your students to learn then your going to have to exccept the fact that it takes time and most of all patience.

ReplyDeleteMr. McClung's major contribution was not in what he said but what he did. We want you to be an effective self-reflective, lifelong learner. Both of those things are important. Engage in regular, honest self-reflection. Constantly be open to learning, especially through experience.
It does take time May to be student centered and maybe the schools will be supportive more. It does take more time but if teachers are encouraged this way versus the teacher centered way then they will make changes. What ways would you motivate a teacher to change their methods?
