What I've Learned This Year

Mr. McClung's "What I've Learned This Year" has given me great insight on what to look forward to in my future career. Being flexible is something many teachers have a hard time adjusting too. As a future teacher this will be one of my main focuses on how I teach. When things don't go as planned we as teachers will need to stay focused and work around these obstacles with smiles as Mr. McClung said.

Mr McClung stated that communication is the best medicine. Teachers need to communicate with other teachers and students to give them the best opportunity to teach effectively. Teachers that communicate with each other can gain more and more knowledge about teaching effectively. Communication is also the best way to resolve problems in the workplace. Communicating with your students is just as important as communicating with fellow teachers. Communicating is a big key to being effective in the classroom.

Mr. McClung made a good point saying that students aren't perfect and neither are we. Many teachers have unrealistic goals set for there children and get frustrated if the students don't accomplish the goals that were set. We as teachers need to set goals for our students, but remember that the students are human and don't always accomplish these goals. If students fail, pick them up and encourage them to do better next time.
