Ive learned that it is very important to be child centered when you are working with kids. You have to care for the children and want to help them no matter what it takes. It is also important to dress properly and have good morals because the students are looking up to you so you have to be a good influence. I think an affected school has good communication between teachers and also between the school and the parents. Teachers should have meetings occasionally to discuss where each of the students are and what they can do to make it better. Also the school should inform the parents about what is going on the school as well as in the classroom by phone calls every now and then or even letters to be sent home or by email. I think an important technology technique for todays society is knowing how to use an active board. The active board ingages the students and helps them learn and the kids enjoy going up to the board to answer questions. After going to Westwood Elementary for a few weeks i have found that teaching is what i really would like to do. I love seeing the kids faces after ive taught them something and i love how they learning to become a better student.
