    1. The student reflected on their classroom observations and course assignments. They felt their dispositions were a good fit for teaching based on their focus on creating a positive learning environment for students. 2. The most difficult aspects of teaching they identified were classroom management, handling behavior issues, and needing more education on special needs, IEPs, and documentation. They also noted issues like lack of funding and increased class sizes that are hard to directly address. 3. The student is most interested in teaching grades K-2 with a multiple subject credential, as they have a passion for younger children and enjoy that age's emphasis on play, learning, and positive teacher relationships. Their observations and coursework reinforced this choice.

    Final Self Reflection and Future Goals

    Your final assignment for this class is to think about your experiences
    observing and working with students in the classroom. Think about what you
    learned and the implications your experience has had on you becoming a
    teacher. In 2-3 pages, answer the following questions.
    1. Given the classroom observations you made and various course
    assignments, how do you perceive the goodness of fit between
    your dispositions and the teaching profession.
    -The goodness of fit is described as the compatibility between
    environment and a childs temperament. After the various observations
    and classroom assignments I have realized how important the classroom
    environment is for the childs learning experience. If the classroom
    environment doesnt fit what the child needs at that particular moment
    they will have trouble learning and trying to focus and may experience
    behavior issues. It is essential to create a positive classroom and learning
    environment for not only the students but the teachers as well.
    2. Based on experiences you have had in a variety of classrooms,
    including your two previous placements in EDTE 150, what seems
    to be the most difficult aspect of teaching?
    -After my experiences in a variety of classrooms around Chico I have
    recognized many difficult aspects of teaching. Classroom management
    and learning how to handle different behavior issues as well as more
    education in the fields of special needs, speech, autism, inclusion and
    documentation are only just a few of the difficulties Teachers face each
    day. Teachers also face issues of not enough money per classroom, an
    increase of students, an increase of students with behavior problems or
    unidentified special needs and not enough parent help at home or in the
    classroom.
    Do you think this is particular to you or would many teachers
    identify this as a difficult aspect of teaching?
    -I believe that many teachers would identify with the issues I listed above
    as difficult aspects of teaching. They are common problems that Teachers
    face each day. I have had many conversations with current teachers
    working in the education system about the decline of the profession.
    Many times I have had people tell me I shouldnt go into teaching
    because of all the issues they face.
    How do you plan to address this challenge?
    -I plan on further educating myself about classroom management and
    behavior as well as taking more classes to learn about special needs,

    speech, autism, inclusion and documentation. I would like to encourage


    parents of the students in my classroom to help as much as possible
    because it is extremely needed. I would like to be further educated about
    special needs in case there is a student in my class with unidentified
    special needs. The only challenge I feel like I cannot fix or address at this
    moment is the topic of money and the increase of students per
    classroom.
    3. What grade and credential most appeal to you and why?
    -Multiple subject credential and grades K-2 appeal to me most because I
    have always had a passion for the younger child. At the younger age the
    children are like sponges, quick to absorb information and excited to
    learn. Most of the children in those grade areas absolutely adore their
    teachers and I would like to experience that from my future students. I
    also love that at those ages playtime still accompanies a huge role into
    their school day. I believe that play is very important for the developing
    child.
    How has your observation experience and coursework influenced
    this decision?
    -Yes, my observation experience and coursework influenced this decision
    greatly. I have worked in these grades over the past couple of semesters
    and I still continue to be passionate about them. I have loved my various
    observation experiences I have participated in and I am very excited to
    see what my future as a teacher has in store for me.
    4. Today, what are your primary goals for your future as a
    teacher?
    Today, my primary goals for my future as a teacher would be to create
    a positive classroom environment. I want my students to feel like they
    can talk to me about everything, I want them to know that I am on
    their side and that I will do everything I my power to help them
    succeed. I would also like to make it my goal to get the parents more
    involved in their childrens school life. Many of the parents I see or
    hear stories about at Citrus Elementary seem like they dont care
    about their childs education, I want all of my parents to care and be
    involved.
