My Reflection in Observing Class

Every class I observed this semester was dissimilar from each other. Some class’s harbored
students who comprehended the material better, were ethnically diverse, special education,
motivated and lazy students. Each time I observed, there were particular occasions that I had
anticipated to occur and other instances that I was astounded. I found it intriguing to see how the
teacher responded when something in the classroom did not go as planned and then observe them
trying to not let it affect their teaching plan for the day.

After my observations, I am self-assured and avid that I want to become a teacher and will be a
good one at that. As a teacher, I believe you need to set the tone of the classroom and let them
know that you are in control.

The atmosphere of the classroom needs to be accepting and eager to learn. All of the classes that
I observed had great classroom atmospheres. That most of the students were attentive to the
teacher, eager to learn, asking questions and that no one person in the class was omitted from the
class discussion or the learning of that particular day. Being the student observer I was curious to
see how the students would act toward me and treat me in their class. Infrequently, I caught a
couple of noisy and unruly student. For the most part, I was much embraced in their classrooms,
as they frequently asked me questions about their school work or of me in general. I remember
my first observations, I was very nervous upon entering the classroom. After that day I always
felt comfortable in the classroom. During my observations, I never saw the teacher leave any
students out of the lecture that they taught to their students that day. I was very impressed to see
that no students were neglected, but instead were incorporated into the learning plan for that day
and got a chance to ask questions of the teacher to help further their learning.

Throughout my time in the classrooms with MAPEH teacher, I observed many different lessons.
Some of the lessons included music skills, reading tasks, and working together. One of the most
important aspects of being a teacher is having a good teacher-student interaction. All of the
classes I observed had a good interaction between the students and teachers. As a future
educator, I believe my biggest challenge will be trying to become flexible with my schedule and
trying to motivate each student to learn and be active in class. Much of this depends on where I
will be teaching, whether that is urban, rural, or city. I’ll address these challenges by becoming
more organized and doing projects where participation is graded and required, so then each
student will be learning and never feel left out.

My strengths include being very determined, goal driven, hard working, learning, good people
skills and motivating others. I will use these strengths to the best of my ability when I have my
own class in the future. I want to continue with my teaching and learning process and obtain my
teaching certificate in the near future. These observations were very interesting and helped me
better appreciate the teaching profession.
