Teachers Assistant Reflection!

This has been a great semester working with all of you in EDU 255 and I hope have been a good resource for all of you! This was a great group of students and you all grew so much throughout the class. You all even taught me things about teaching and made me more prepared as i go to student teach next semester. As i reflect back on my experience as a TA i learned so much about my own teaching through observing all of you in your labs. I really see the importance of using all of the elements on a C9 form to have an effective lesson. It is so important to make sure everything you are teaching as a purpose and your students are learning. Student learning is the number one sign of an effective teacher and i have really learned what it means to reach through this class and my experience at SUNY Cortland. 

I feel as though having a TA in EDU 255 was very helpful because having another student as a resource gives students another person besides their professor someone to go to for help. I wish i had had a TA for this class when i took it because i feel it is very effective. It also put myself on the other side of teacher, instead of observing my own teaching I was observing others and had to dig deeper into the methods of teaching and analyze each little part of being an effective which taught me alot!

I want to thank Dr. B for giving me this opportunity! I really enjoyed working with you this pass year and a half and hope to stay in touch. Dan and Vikki i also enjoyed working with the two of you! We worked very well together and wish you guys the best as you finish your last semester at Cortland. Finally all of the students I really enjoyed working with all of you and wish you all the best as you continue your journey through Cortland's Physical Education department. Hope to stay in touch with all of you!
