It was Friday, February 10th. I was kind of worry because I had literature evaluation before my practice; therefore I didn’t have too much time to be ready in the classroom. But, fortunately I quickly finished my exam and I arrived to the classroom on time. At the beginning I was afraid because as everybody knows the first experience as teacher is always pretty demanding. But later, I remembered that I was prepared for facing that situation and I put into practice all my knowledge to handle it as best as possible. Then, I carried out my first class at the university with real students willing to learn from me. Nevertheless, I committed some mistakes but that’s normal when teaching. Nobody is perfect and that’s why we’re training as teachers so that we can learn from our errors and can augment our involvement as educators.
I think that when you have two things to do like an evaluation and your teaching practicum you might feel even under more pressure because as it is your first time teaching, you want to be on time right??? but fortunately as you said, you got on time and you could succeed on what you had to do. We have to do our best in teaching because something you said is very nice "students are willing to learn from us". so congrats man
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the first teaching experience is very difficult because students start looking at you and if you start paying attention to them, you will fail. When students look at you and they see you are so confident of what you are going to do, they really behave and participate in the activities you carry out.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I can`t understand how you do to survive with a lot of subjects! But as I see you can deal with anything you want. Nice to know that you did well and of course you will improve :D
