Day 2
Sticking to my 30 day plan, here is the video for day two. Again, feel free to respond with your own answers. Reflection is a powerful tool for growth!
Will You Take The Challenge?
For the last 30 days, I have been answering one reflection question each day and I have learned so much about myself as an educator. Whether you are a veteran blogger or brand new to blogging, I invite you to take this challenge. Video tape or write your answers to each of the reflection questions and share it with your PLN. Here are the questions that I came up with. Are you ready to take the challenge? 30-Day Blog Challenge Day 1: How did you decide to become a teacher? Day 2: What do you believe is your greatest strength as a teacher? Day 3: In which area do you think you can improve the most? Day 4: What were you most worried about as you approached your first day as a teacher? Day 5: How do you keep your classroom organized? Day 6: What have you observed of other teachers that might work in your own classroom? Day 7: How can you best promote responsibility in your students? Day 8: How do you connect with your students? Day 9: What do you want out of the “Staff
Having an open mind, the willingness to try new things, and the opportunity to try new things are all part of today's world of education. I think I'm very open minded and like you, I get excited to try new things. One of my strengths as a teacher, I think, is accepting students for who they are, and where they are at in terms of knowledge and ability, and moving them forward from there. One of the most complicted pieces of teaching is the variety of skills, and knowledge that each of our students brings to class. Teaching should not be a one-size-fits-all approach, but it seems that is where some teachers, some districts, are stuck. You are correct in that it is difficult to stay on top of the changes in education and even more difficult is the question of: Who do we listen to? This is a very, very exciting time in education and the possibilities for providing our students with the skills they need to be successful in life is beyond what I would have imagined just a short time ago.
