Spring 2015, EDEL 350/ Immersive Learning
Reflection:
A teacher understands the importance of professional development. He or she understands that he or she is a life-long learner. By constantly learning and self-evaluating, a teacher can make the classroom environment more beneficial for the students.
During this practicum experience, I had the opportunity to go through a math and language arts professional development session. Both of these were very beneficial to me and gave me an insight to what real teaching looks like. It was great to have the opportunity to learn alongside veteran teachers.
In the future, I will take the opportunity to participate in any professional development sessions my school provides. I will also reach out and find my own learning opportunities that meet my specific needs. By understanding that I will always be acquiring knowledge, I can adapt what I learn to help all of my students succeed.
