The filling.

Part of being a professional is not just being able to reflect on what you do and how you do it, but it is also taking action to better yourself. Since beginning of the program I have found many resources, several thanks to my mother (a teacher), that have helped, and will help me be a great teacher. In the section "Educational & Professional Development Links" I added a few sites that I have found to be extremely valuable. Check them out, you might agree!

Sign of Personal Growth

One thing that I believed strongly in before starting my internship was that the allotted time, for each of the day's planned tasks, needs to be followed to a "T". Clearly, after spending just a day in a class of 28 students, this idea changed drastically. I have learned that what really matters is that the students are getting the time they need with a subject. It is not beneficial for them to learn something and not get the chance to practice just because the clock says that it is time to move on. Learning to be more flexible is definitely a sign of personal growth.
