I thought I would start my blog with how I feel about my up coming practicum and this year in general:
What I am looking forward to...
** Working -- "working 9 to 5" -- having a real job with a sense of purpose and importance
** Teaching -- putting theory into practice
** Getting a job -- making money : )
** Graduation!!!
What I am most worried about...
** Behaviour Management
** Not getting along with my prac teacher
** Not knowing the answers
** Not getting a job : (
About Me
- Novice Teacher
- Australia
- I am currently a student teacher in Australia. I am at the business end of my degree (B. of Education/B. of Arts) and about to start my first teaching practicum. I have already finished my B. of Arts degree and majored in History and Sociology. As I was reading books, websites and scouring message boards for advice on teaching, I thought it would be best to collect all of my ideas in one place, hence the purpose of this blog. I hope to use this blog to write about my teaching experiences -- the highs and the lows, what worked and what didn't and basically reflect on how I can improve so I won't be a novice teacher anymore : ) John Dewey (1933) argued, we do not actually learn from experiences as much as we learn from reflecting on experiences. Therefore, during my practicum I will endeavor to reflect and examine my experiences so to improve.
