Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own." -- Nikos KazantzakisI would like to think that over the years that I've spent in the classroom, some of the students I've taught have created bridges of their own. I think that one of the best things that I could hear from former students is that they had fun learning in my class. I am far from an ideal teacher but every time I receive a compliment from one of my students it just makes me try harder to be one.
On tonight's class, I have to say that I like the powerpoint presentations because ti forces us to focus on the key points of the chapter. I also think that it gives me the opportunity to know someone else's perspectives based on their selected key points. Now, I am looking forward to learning more about assessments. If any of you come across really good, valid, reliable word recognition assessment tools for pre-primer and primer levels, please let me know.
