What I've Learned This Year
By: Mr. McClung
This was an amazing post. It gave much needed advice for teachers. New and veteran teachers could use the advice he gives. He touched on communication in the work place, adapting lesson plans, and being flexible.
These things are very important to teaching. He also talked about not being afraid of technology and that lifelong learning was very important for teachers.
As teachers, we will need to apply the advice he gives. I loved what he said about lesson plans and how what you plan and the lesson that you will actually teach are always different. That makes complete sense to me because part of that would depend on the atmosphere in the classroom that day. The advice about communication was good. It is hard to communicate with people you hardly know, but this is the only way you will make it as a teacher. Communication is very important in any job setting.

Leiha,
ReplyDeleteYou did a good job at summarizing the article, but did you put any thought into how you are going to implement Mr. McClung's findings into your own future classroom?
