1. It is important to consistently work on your senior project, whether it is break or we are in school. What did you do over the break with your senior project?
During the break, I picked up a couple of books on my topic and worked on my independent component. For my independent component, I have the unit outline completed and am currently designing a classroom layout that encourages creativity. Visuals COMING SOON. In a previous blog post, I mentioned how my mentorship [where I work with third graders] at an elementary school, were ALSO on break. (Meaning that I'm kind of behind on mentorship hours.)
2. What is the most important thing you learned from what you did, and why? What was the source of what you learned?
The most important thing I've learned is the significance of time management for educators. Teachers are expected to plan and properly execute lessons plans, and meet standards; their worst enemy being time itself. I've learned that by creating a welcoming learning environment and building routines, a teacher is able to "make more time." I believe this most important because time management is a skill that not all teachers have and it's one I want to have as a future educator. I attained this new found knowledge from the books I checked out from the library before and during the break.
3. If you were going to do a 10 question interview on questions related to answers for your EQ, who would you talk to and why?
My EQ is "How can a teacher most effectively use the arts to produce fluent readers?" If I were going to do an interview on questions related to answers for this EQ, I would defiantly try to interview my new mentor. She has specifically worked with child development in reading and has been teaching elementary for some time now. She gave me an idea of what I wanted my senior topic to be during the summer and I believe that she'll be able to help me answer my essential question.
