3. How did the experience help you to
strengthen at least one Kentucky Teacher Standard?
Due to the field experience, I was
able to Kentucky Teacher Standard number 4: The teacher implements and
manages instruction. I was able to do this because I had to plan and implement
a lesson plan that involved reading a trade book. This was very interesting to
do because I teach Math all day. It was very eye opening to see how students were
able to stay more focused when the lesson followed along as the book was being
read aloud.
4. Talk a little about one thing you
learned because of this field experience.
I learned that
time management is the key when trying to teach using a trade book. If it is a
long trade book then it might be important to break the book up into sections
because reading the whole book at one time can lose the interest of students
and also take up the entire class period.
