Success Journal


  1. forgot a edsuccess tweet, Realizing that natural teaching is becoming easier without using canned material
  2. Knowing that the students had a good time while they learned makes for a great day to teach
  3. The students are actually starting to retain information on wildlife plants
  4. Had a great day helping out the kids for the stock show
  5. Helped the students finish shearing their goats=success


    I believe that student teaching is the biggest learning experience I have had on my path to becoming an educator. I have come to realize how much I have learned and changed in my teaching habits over the time I have been in the classroom this semester compared to when I first arrived at my school. Teaching is something that must be learned, and only so much can occur in the classroom although that part is very important.  This week I had the honor of helping the students at the county Livestock Show which was a great experience.    Stockshows are always a learning experience as everything is always changing.  

    Slowly but surely I am learning more everyday, not only how to teach more effectively, but also how to control the students.  I am fortunate to be in the Agriculture field, which to me is always more easy going and fun to the students than other courses, especially since it is a class that is chosen and not mandatory.  I have enjoyed helping the students not only in the classroom setting, but also with their livestock projects and other ag projects.  I hope to become even better at teaching in the classroom, making things more fun during lecture would be great, however as mentioned before I am privileged with agriculture education as we are in the classroom, shop, school farm, and greenhouse at different times and not always simply in the classroom.  I plan on finding extra things to expand on in my lessons besides what is required as well to keep things interesting.
