I'm into the 3rd week of my teaching practicum one. I've learnt quite alot and has received a lot of feedback and suggestion on how to improve myself as a teacher.
One very critical point is that i need to read up and research more about the sport that i teach. I'm too boring a person to think of fun and engagement activities for my pe class :( I still have to work on giving my VERY SPECIFIC instructions with who, when, where,what, how. For example: I want you to pick up the ball/racket from there and go to this playing area and start doing (whatever activity). Organisation of students and also thinking through of the activity is really important to how messy my class will be.
For classroom lesson, i need to LISTEN to my students more. this also means i have to slow down the pace and compromise on the content. i will need to find balance...
I realised that the moral teacher part of me has disappeared totally. I forgot about teaching my children values and how to be a person. i totally focused on teaching the game and forgot about the true calling of being a teacher... i learnt that from yen peng yesterday when she talked about the olympics values and the aim objective of the N2DII run. It seems wayang but it surely give things a great purpose and meaning...
