Entry # 15

My overall reflection for this course is satisfacton. I loved this class and have learned a lot about myself and teaching. This class has really prepared me for teaching on my own. I enjoyed the books we read and found them helpful for experiences and relation to the students. I have learned about classroom management, student interaction and furthered my lesson plan development skills. I have expanded my knowledge about secondary art education in many ways. I haven't really had much experience with older students and to be honest I have always been nervous about being in the classroom with them. After this experience and learning more about lessons to teach, I feel like I have more aware and ready to be a teacher in a secondary art education classroom. I am not as nervous to be their teacher, I feel like I can relate to them really well. My main suprise was my ability to hold it together and pull through on certain mishaps or events that werent predicted. For an example with the students who werent motivated. As for the areas I want to further my exploration, I want to be able to be more comfortable with the students and work on my classroom management. I really enjoy this class and think it would be helpful for art educatin students. Thank you for a great semester and I have enjoyed blogging with you all. Best of luck to you and you will all be great teachers :D
