Taking Advanced Educational Psychology while actually teaching has been helpful because I can picture specific classroom scenarios and students when learning about different theories and concepts. I think one key to remembering what I've learned and applying it to the classroom will be to review my chapter responses, video case, and/or PowerPoint in the fall before beginning a new year of teaching. Another key to implementing real change is to start small. Rather than trying to make several changes at once, I believe I am more capable of choosing one approach, such as making teaching objectives clear to students, and working that into my daily routines. Trying to make too many changes at once can become overwhelming and frustrating, leading ultimately into a relapse into old habits and practices. Finally, keeping some type of journal can help me reflect upon what happens day-to-day in the classroom and help me to identify where I want to make further changes. It's often hard to reflect upon practices from memory because of the many flaws we have with recalling exact detail. A journal, however, is something that can be done relatively quickly and used later to help recall practices or situations from the day or a particular lesson.
ReplyDeleteThis course has taught me a lot about teacher expectations, student development, and even federal mandates for instruction and assessment. I am a reflective teacher, I think, and I will continue to reflect on what I have learned (and learn every day) by writing in a reflective journal to help me see what I need to improve on in the coming years. This was my first year teaching, so I have a lot to learn, but thanks to this class, I will be a more purposeful teacher and learner.
