So today we had our first class. I'm looking forward to learning how to differentiate better in my class and especially learning how to handle different cultures. It'll be interesting that I'm the only guy in the class but it shouldn't hinder too much bias. Everyone seems as if they're pretty intelligent.
The thing that will probably take up most of my time this semester will be going to my assigned school, that of which I am very excited. The teacher is fantastic and I've already got to work with the kids a little. I'm taking on five extra private violin students this semester so it'll will add on time and a little stress but it'll also add on experience and teaching methods.
I have met my teacher, too, and she is great! I understand the added stress of extra activities and responsibilities can add up. I have two internships, plus the clinical hours, plus work study, plus my classes, plus a couple extracurricular activities, and commuting... it all adds up. Time management needs to become our best friend! Good luck this semester, Billy, and congratulations on teaching next semester!
ReplyDeleteHello Billy! I am so happy to have you in class with me once again. I am also looking forward to leaning about culture and differentiating. I am excited for you to start your student teaching and I know that you are just going to great! I know you will be stress, but you always seem to manage it all. Good luck Billy!
