Having the tools, and knowing how to use them

As the semester is coming to a close, I am able to reflect on this past semester. I have just finished making my thank you card for my host teacher. Tomorrow is my last observation, and I know it will be hard leaving. I have grown so much this semester, and I have built strong knowledge on effective ways to instruct a class. I have been given helpful strategies that I can implement in the classroom, and it is now just a matter of going through with them. I know that what I have learned will help me to become a stronger teacher. Now that I have been handed the techniques, it is my responsibility to know when he correct time in to present the strategies to the students. I have to be able to read the students to be able to decide when they need extra assistance. I want to allow my students to learn easily, and not get confused in the material. In order to do this, I need to relay creative ways to present the lessons that accommodates the students' learning preferences. My professors have handed me the knowledge on classroom management and how to instruct the students. It will soon be my turn to let the skills that I have gained shined through when I am student teaching and am in charge of the students in the classroom.
