What I will take from my internship into student teaching is developing relationships with my students and making lessons that are relevant to them. I will leave behind getting overwhelmed because I will be in the classroom the whole week so I will know what’s going on!@drtchr
School environments might influence teaching and learning because the more welcoming and accepting that teachers are, the more comfortable students feel. When students have a comfortable environment, they’re more willing to learn! @DrTchr#EDML522
Something that stood out to me from the video was that the teachers said that sometimes, the older kids end up teaching the younger kids. This stood out because sometimes adults think different than teachers and collaboration is important! @DrTchr#EDML522
Pros of integrating curriculum is that students have more applications of the content that they’re learning. The cons is sometimes it can be challenging to lesson plan and make sure it is still applicable. @DrTchr#EDML522
Games are important for enhancing literacy because it gets all students involved and gives them an opportunity to have fun with eachother! @DrTchr#edml471
What matters is that students (specifically in middle school) are going through a lot with life and relationships- and as teachers it is one of our responsibilities to be there for them and help them through it! @DrTchr#edml470
What makes an intellectual is someone who is able to help students understand what they don’t even realize they’re confused about. This ability makes a better teacher because students will be more confident that their teacher can help them. @DrTchr#edml470
When planning a lesson, it is important to keep it engaging so that students are kept on their toes and don’t get distracted. It is also important to make the students discuss so that they can share their own ideas

What mattered to me today as a future educator, is that something as simple as a song can be the basis of lesson plan. Music is a powerful tool that can help with science, English, social studies, or math. @DrTchr#EDML470
What mattered today in class was discussing how literacy can be empowering because it can give people a voice that they otherwise wouldn’t have

Teachers should concern themselves with close reading across content areas because it is a skill that is used in every school subject and even beyond the classroom @DrTchr#EDML471
