I think Mr. McClung’s post was quite inspiring. Sometimes it’s refreshing to listen to someone who is new in their career, than someone who’s been teaching all their life. He brought up a great point about when you first get started in your teaching career, your straight by the book. You make sure that each one of your lesson plans is perfect. Instead of focusing on the lesson plan, you should be watching your students carefully and making sure they comprehend what you are teaching.
Communication is another important factor. It is so important to communicate well with others. Students notice how well their teacher communicates with them as well other individuals. Listening is also very important. One of his students acknowledged how well Mr. McClung listed.
It is vital for teachers to listen and to learn about each one of their students. Finally, never stop learning! I have become more aware of this myself. You have to be able learn something before you can teach it.

Crystal,
ReplyDeleteYou bring up a very important part of being a teacher ... Communication is another important factor. It is so important to communicate well with others ... you must be able to communicate with your students, their parents, colleagues, administrators, staff members and community members when you are involved in teaching our youth. That is a skill that is absolutely required to better educate.
