This weeks posts make me feel a lot better about what success I am having in the classroom. I'm really glad that there are a few things that I know I am being successful at. I'm glad in particular that I am succeeding in my "Teacher Voice" and having a good wait time because both of these foster a positive learning environment and establishes good flow of activities. I hope to continue to grow in both of these areas as I finish Student Teaching and into my career. Student Teaching has definitely been a great learning experience thus far.
One thing that I think I need to grow in as time passes is spinning wrong answers. What I mean is taking a wrong answer and making it positive (and even correct) so students aren't afraid of being wrong. This is a problem I have experienced with students even at the high school level. I don't want my students to be afraid to speak up in class. If I succeed better at doing this then my students well grow in knowledge and confidence.
