Today in math curriculum class, my partner and I were the teachers for the first hour. We handled it decently, but it was not a solid performance. We really had trouble managing the roles of "bad students" that our classmates were acting out. We stumbled a little in our questioning, but in the end felt like we did a good job. I really learned how hard it is to listen to a student give a presentation of a solution and trying to keep other students from being a disturbance at the same time. The truth is, I dont have to listen to the student, I can get another kid to explain to me what the previous student just said....nifty little trick.
We didnt suck though, and our classmates thought we handled the negative situations pretty well. So, war eagle to that. Like I said, tests and all that are easy now, time to master teaching...
Check out nytimes.com, in the opinion section there is a good article about called "Generation Q" by Thomas Friedman, and one "The Odyssey Years" by David Brooks. Both of them I thought were good perspectives of the 20 somethings in this country.
