Hey everybody, my name is Jan, and this is the first post for my introduction to education class! I am a junior at a high school and I can't wait to graduate! I love playing tennis and I used to play softball. I am interested in teaching, and this class will prepare me for the classes I will need in college. Next semester, I will actually be going into elementary classes and learning firsthand about what it takes to be a teacher. Next year, this class will be a paid apprentice ship where we help in one class for the whole year. I'm looking forward to it!
I am a little nervous about being in the classes with the students, but I know the other teachers will help me out. This first semester, we have been discussing ways of learning, barriors to learning, hemisphericity, and test taking stategies. This will prepare us as much as possible for the different kids and their personalities. I would like to work with third or fourth grade if I can, but second would be good, too. Let me know if you have any tips on that age group. Thanks!
