Each student is required to complete a course reflection in the form of a learning letter blog posting. This final blog posting should fulfill three major requirements:
1. Reflect on the work you’ve completed in the course (book talks, unit plans, etc.)
2. Reflect on the theories and concepts we explored in readings and discussions
3. Reflect on how you think your participation in this course has influenced your thinking about yourself as a teacher
The process of continual reflection is essential to your growth as a teacher.
The book talks are going to be great for me for the rest of the quarter. I now have a great list of books to read from and enjoy thanks to everyone doing this assignment. The resources we got helped me in the unit plan, but will also keep helping me as I continue to develop into a teacher. The unit plan itself helped me realize that I can actually develop a unit and hopefully implement it successfully. The material we received this quarter will be extremely helpful to me moving forward. There were a lot of teaching strategies and ways to help struggling readers, which was my biggest concern about teaching. How do you get a student to read if they don't love it as much as you? The Tovani book is going to be a resource I will always go back to in the future. The books we were assigned were great YA novels that I also cannot wait to assign and see students engage with a book without much effort. This course has made me think of every aspect of creating a lesson plan. This is a large step for me in designing lessons and units to have a cohesive feel to them. This quarter I also did standards based grading for my unit, so the research into that has made me a stronger teacher that can adapt to different grading systems.
