We are on the right track

I really enjoyed my teaching experience today. I was excited and enthused about the opportunity to teach. My expectations were high and I think I met my expectations in some aspects but there are still some things that I need to improve. The positives in my experience were the level of student engagement and the fluency of the lesson. The students appeared to enjoy the challenges the task posed and related to the concepts very well. I think the part of the lesson that could have improved was the introduction of the task to the students. I think I could have been more affective in my introduction to help guide the students and help them make more connections to the concept. I also think my time management could have been more affective.
I feel that this is one of the best assessment methods for me as a student and a teacher. I think this was an excellent opportunity for me to test new strategies in the field as a student of the teaching profession. In addition, it made it possible to recognize the adjustments that I need to make as a teacher. I am learning the importance of planning and how improvization is also a must. I look forward to my next opportunity to expand my learning and become more efficient in the classroom.
