2/26 @ParkerShaylyn: I helped refine a younger students showing techniques in the ring #edsuccess @mrtechyteach
2/27 @ParkerShaylyn: I encouraged a student to continue showing pigs next year after he had some difficulties showing @mrtechyteach #edsuccess
2/28 @ParkerShaylyn: success of the day: had a one on one talk with a "problem" student about his plans after high school. @mrtechyteach #edsuccess
I will be the first to admit that there are some times that I get discouraged in the classroom when my students are being unresponsive or disruptive, but I can also say that one little break through or success in a day can turn the whole thing around. I hope to be able to find such moments during my student teaching and in my future classroom as well. It is these little things that remind me why I wanted to become a teacher in the first place.
When I become an official high school ag teacher I hope to have enough confidence in my own abilities to be an effective teacher as well as know how to correctly manage my classroom. That seems to be something that I have been struggling with. The students do not respect me as much as they should because we are so close in age and on top of that, it is hard for me to discipline them when they are in trouble. I plan to become more firm and confident in my decisions.
