2.3 Regional Conference Make up

 Our Full Circle in Motion  https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/22/0...

    Juliana Urtubey delivered a message of hope, justice, and the transformative power of education. They emphasized the importance of humanity by recognizing the unique potential of each student; hope in cultivating optimism and perseverance in the face of challenges and collective work; and collaborating with colleagues, families, and communities to create positive change, and Justice by ensuring equitable access to education for all students. Juliana called on educators to create inclusive and supportive learning environments where students can thrive. By embracing diversity, celebrating individuality, and fostering a sense of belonging, educators can empower students to reach their full potential. Ultimately, the speech inspires educators to continue their work with passion and purpose, striving to build a brighter future for all students. With these ideas in mind, it could better impact me and others with a stronger and more positive relationship with our teachers, peers, and learning environment.

These two videos cover how to set up and maintain a classroom, going in-depth on what is used daily and how to avoid mistakes or time-consuming obstacles. I could benefit from these strategies by making sure to always have the correct supplies for my students and whenever a problem occurs, to be able to have the best response for the student and the better help of the class.

Overall

I have found many new methods or key details interesting and influential in teaching throughout this lesson, with great ways to effectively save classroom time for the day's lesson plan and give the best to students. I would love to go more in-depth on when and how you plan lessons around the materials given to you as a teacher.

2.2 Junior High Observations

 Introduction


   In our second observation in Intro to Education, we had the opportunity to observe Junior High Teachers and the differences in teaching from the High School teachers, I observed how they started the classroom and made sure all goals were met.


Junior High Observation 1 & 2


    My observations were with Mrs. Johnson and her classroom. Overall, I believe Mrs. Johnson's use of notes, textbooks, and constructive thinking was the positives that I gathered from the observation.


Greatest Takeaway


    My greatest takeaway from the observation is being able to watch how a classroom is conducted when the students are taking a test. The method of making sure there was silence during the test so everyone could have full focus on the test, and those who were done were told to get a book to read until everyone else was done.


Conclusion


    I am very glad I had the opportunity to observe the amazing Junior High School teachers and learn what I can use later on when I begin to teach.
