Q: Where do you see
yourself in five years?
A: I would like to
have my own classroom where I could teach students between K and 6 th grade. organize
my classroom so that my students would know what to do when they would come
into the room and respect our classroom
to be teaching students in and have had the some experience
working with different grade levels
Q: What would you do
if one of your students was having trouble with something?
A: I would work with him one on one and give him different
strategies to understand the concepts.
Q: Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses?
A: I believe that I am a very nurturing and caring person and care about the students I work with. I am also very organized and very conscientious about planning my lessons.
I feel that my strength in planning is also my weekness in that I end up overplanning a lesson.
Q: What would we see if we walked into your classroom?
A: My classroom would be student centered, so after their morning work students would move to different centers in the room where they would be working in small groups. I might have a reading corner where I would be one of the small group instruction or I would be walking around the room offering support to students who needed it or I would be working with a group of students and providing additional instruction and support for those needing it.
Students would know where to go to find materials they need. If you walked into my classroom at the beginning of the period - (circle time) we would be discussing date weather and what we would be doing that day (the lesson objective) followed by a lesson . -
During class you would see students working in small groups. and i might be providing small group instruction to students
Towards the end of the day - (regroup whole class) to discuss and share what they learned and how they can use what they learned today.
