Reflection on Classmate's Teaching Methods
An important part of the fieldwork process was not only developing my lesson plans and teaching it to the class, it was also from my observations of my peers. Every time my peers would teach their lessons, I would take note of what they did in my observation chart form. It is important to pay attention to the way that my peers teach in order to learn from them. My peers are with me in learning about teaching and they want feedback on their teaching as much as I do.
Providing feedback is extremely important in order for you to learn and improve your skills as a teacher. It is important that we are becoming the best educators so that we can teach students effectively and meaningfully. When providing feedback, you need to tell your peers what they did well, anything notable about their lessons and/or activities, and what they need to work on. It is important for you and your peers to not be offended by critical feedback on what needs to be improved on. This is a learning experience. It is important that we discover what we need to improve on now before we become official educators. It is also now the perfect time because you can work on improving your skills in the next courses that will be taken for education.
I feel like I have learned a lot from my peers. The areas of science that they taught were appropriate for the grade levels of the students. The activities were effective and engaging to the students. I will definitely be using some of the activities in my future classroom. During some of the groups direct instruction, my peers would not only present the information but also present the information with concrete examples. They either discussed these examples with visuals or they presented an actual object to go with the example. I thought that this was a great idea for the students who need a visual in order to understand what they are learning. My peers from these groups inspired me to do the same in my lesson. I also liked how my peers grabbed the students attention. In one of the groups, one of my peers grabbed the students attention by saying, "hocus pocus, let's focus." The students really enjoyed this and would focus when she used this line. I will definitely be using this method in my future classroom.
I feel like I have learned so much about teaching and about myself as a teacher. Providing feedback to my peers has improved my skills on determining what teachers need to do in order to be engaging and effective with students. By getting feedback from my peers, I have learned more about myself as a teacher and what skills that I need to improve on. I have also learned some great techniques and methods that I will use in my future classroom.
