Looking Forward to the Future!

Photo of myself ready for the future!

The end of the semester is near and I am anxiously waiting to see what the next semester will bring. While I’m looking forward to a break from all the hard work and determination required from this semester, I can’t help but think about the new and interesting things I will learn as I complete my final term of on-campus studying and begin student teaching and will be able to implement the many new concepts and methods I’ve learned over the past few months. In the fall of 2013, I will be able to acquire a daily hands-on experience while also being able to assess myself and work on areas of improvement if needed in certain areas. While I will always work towards being the best teacher I can be, I can’t wait to meet my future students. The idea of impacting a child’s life even in the smallest matter is a great feeling for me.

While preparing myself to student teach in the fall I am interested in student teaching at Aldine ISD check out there website for more information about the district.

Positive Behavior In The Classroom

Positive behavior should be encouraged daily throughout any classroom. In my classroom, not only is it expected but it is required. I will require my students to maintain positive behavior through verbally encouragement and positive incentives. In order for the students to acquire the incentives of positive behavior, they will have to display understanding behind the incentives and the expectations set and met in the classroom. As an instructor, it is my responsibility to establish and teach clear expectations of all members of the classroom. In order to assure my students are receiving information given to them I will constantly and positively praise the individuals who are doing as they are told and following directions. It is my hope that the notion of positive behavior will be second nature to all of my students. I want my students to enjoy practicing positive behavior rather feeling as if it is a chore to them.

Expectations of Good Students

It is every teacher’s desire to have a classroom full of well-behaved and attentive students. However, in order to achieve such an environment, there must be rules and procedures implemented daily. I not only want my students to be well-prepared for class, I also want to prepare them for future success as they continue through grade school. The expectations I have for my students include: coming to school every day, having supplies ready, having materials organized, paying attention in class, completing assignments on time, following directions, asking for help when needed, and always trying their best. I believe that if the students practice these rules daily, it would prepare them for the future as well-prepared and behaved students ready to learn. I am fully aware that in order for my students to become well-prepared and behaved students, it will take a great deal of effort from both the students and I. However, I am more than ready for the challenge!

The Importance of Effective Communication

As an instructor of a Prekindergarten classroom, it is extremely important to effectively communicate with both students and parents. Effective communication with the students allows for a positive work environment, greater understanding of the instruction being given and positive social interaction amongst the students. While effectively communicating with the students is essential to the success of the classroom, it is also vital when dealing with the student’s parents. The results of effective communication will manifest through assessments, student’s records, and interactions amongst peers. It is extremely important to convey the student’s behaviors to its parents. Therefore, it is always in the best interest of the child for the parent and teacher to be on one accord in regards to the child’s progression within the learning process. Effective communication will be an integral part of the relationships between student and parent and parent and teacher within my prekindergarten classroom.
