Syllabus Standards

I think the syllabus standard that I will struggle with the most is the Cohesion of Framework. To me it is the most complex standard because it calls for students to understand all of the other listed standards and understand how they connect with one another. It will be a challenge because will take a lot of work to not only understand the other standards, but to also be able to connect them all together while teaching and having the meetings to defend our grade. I hope that by the end of the semester I will have gained the understanding to do this because I know it will make me that much of a better teacher when I do. I think that this standard is very important and key to being not only a teacher, but it separates the really good teachers from the average ones.

Science Methods Initial Reactions

I'm looking forward to this class because it is my first education methods class. I like science and can hopefully pick up some techniques to teach students the information so they can understand it. I'm not really sure what to expect and I'm a little nervous about the different grading system. I think that once I spend more time in the class and listening I will feel more comfortable and understand how things are going to work for the semester. I hope to understand the concepts and use them the best way I can in my future classroom. I think this class will be challenging just because it is so different from others that I have taken, but I really am looking forward to it. I think the most difficult assignment will be to videotape myself teaching a lesson because I will be able to see everything that happened, most of which I probably won't notice when I am actually teaching the lesson.
