1. How does it feel teaching today compared to when you first started? Throughout the years, did you learn any new teaching methods? If so, which one was the most efficient? What has been your favorite aspect of teaching all these years? There is a lot more challenges and expectations related to the students. For example, I’ve noticed that children have more needs nowadays than years ago when I first taught. I have to teach a lot more using different modalities and do a lot of small group instruction so that has been a big change. When I first started doing guided reading groups as well as guided math groups; when you do those things, you’re meeting with a smaller group of children who have homogeneous needs. You have the ratio between students…
In Hugh and Future’s peer teaching session, they had taught Chinese and music with the learning aims of learning how to write several Chinese characters and how to construct basic rhythm notes with pen-tapping beats. For the first twenty minutes, students learnt Chinese, specifically how to write basic characters and how to pronounce them with interesting stories and a humorous, yet informative supplement video. After watching at video, students assessed their learning by themselves through the…
what meaningful teaching is I interviewed two different teachers. First, Mrs. Cox is a self-contained third through fifth grade special education teacher with more than fifteen years’ experience in the field of Special Education. Then, I interviewed Miss Mundy an inclusive first grade classroom teacher with five years of teaching experiences. Although there are many differences between Mrs. Cox and Miss Mundy, such as year experience, classroom settings, and grade levels, their answers to the…
I was asked one time, if given a super teaching power what would it be? Instantly I replied telepathy, because if I could know the many needs of my students, I could design appropriate instruction that would best fit their needs. With proper instruction the classroom environment is supportive of diverse learners, students are actively engaged in the lesson, and students’ ideas are respected and explored. Without this great respect for learning, the students’ problem behaviors emerge and become…
emerged, included: experience (years teaching), the teacher’s perceptions of students, training, the type of service models, and the demographics (rural socioeconomic). Experience-Years Teaching: According to this article, years teaching experience plays a factor in impacting on teachers’ beliefs about ELLs in their mainstream classrooms. In addition, the author included studies done by researchers that support this notion and found that: the more years teachers worked with ELLs, the more…
When planning the micro-teaching experience, it is essential to ensure the activities are suitable while also remaining engaging and meaningful to the target and incidental audience. Students from the year one class at West End State School and a diverse range of students from the Lady Cilento Children’s Hospital are given the opportunity to participate in a performing arts experience planned by QUT preservice teachers. As we are unaware of the specific ages of the students from the hospital, we…
My patient teaching experience was done at Good Samaritan Hospital located at Lucas and 6th street, which is near downtown Los Angeles. My patient was a 41-year-old Asian female, who was there for her scheduled second C-Section. I was with the patient from her perioperative for C-section to her being transferred to Post-Partum unit. As I was establishing rapport with my patient, she did mention about cord care and how she needs more information on how to care for the umbilicus. Nursing…
Community Teaching Experience According to Maurer and Smith (2013, p.17), “teaching is the process of imparting cognitive knowledge, skills, and values.” So, nurses have a special role in caring for the ill and preventing diseases due to their knowledge of many skills. More so, a community health nurse has special opportunities to foster human development and capabilities through client education. Furthermore, a primary responsibility of community health nurses is teaching to promote health.…
Simulation learning provides the opportunity for the nursing students to involve in evidence based learning experience. It provides understanding and knowledge to practice the scope of nursing processes. It also allows the students to critically think and make decision independently based on patient diagnosis. In today’s simulation experience I had several demonstrations completed, including proper use of Pyxis for oral and subcutaneous mediation administration, provide proper patient teaching…
Reflection About Classroom Teaching Experience Being an educator is a challenge and a new learning experience each time. As an educator, I am entrusted with the responsibility of shaping the way students think and feel in the classroom. I have always wanted to be an educator and share my experiences with the new generation of nurses. When I was assigned to work with professor Lynette Rayman to do my classroom teaching experience, I was thrilled because the topic I chose was chronic kidney…
