CRITICISM

As part of the BEd curriculum, students need to take classes based on lesson plans to get feedback from teacher educators and peer groups. On june 27, 2024 , i took a criticism class. I taught a poem "the village blacksmith" based on the constructivist model. Although i had a well- structured lesson plan with clear learning outcomes and engaging activities, i faced challenges during the class. I struggled with time management, exceeding the allotted time, and felt nervous, which impacted my performance. The feedback from my teacher educator and peers highlighted the need for improvement in time management and conducting the class in a calm and composed manner. Despite this , i received positive feedback on my fluent use of the English language. I have taken this feedback constructively and an committed to making necessary adjustments to become a more effective, reflective and resilient educator.
                                 Through this experience, I gained a deeper understanding of the complexities of teaching and the importance of continuous professional development. I developed a growth mindset, recognizing that teaching is a skill that can be developed one time with practice, patience, and persistence. The criticism class was an essential component of my teacher education , and i am grateful for the opportunity to have experienced it.

This trip has shown how important it is to include multimedia into the classroom and how effective storytelling can close gaps and create a dynamic, engaging learning environment.As we think back on this endeavor, we see that invention and imagination are indeed what matter most.

MICRO TEACHING

As part of a Bachelor of Education (BEd) curriculum, I had to conduct classes focused on two skills: introducing a lesson and utilizing the blackboard effectively. Introducing a lesson involves capturing students' attention, stating clear objectives, connecting to prior knowledge, and outlining the lesson content to engage and prepare students for new learning experiences.                       Blackboard skills involve writing legibly, organizing content clearly, using space efficiently, and highlighting key points with different colors or underlining. Effective blackboard use aids visual learning, keeps students engaged, and enhances the overall teaching experience.        It was a wonderful experience taking classes, learning how to conduct them effectively, and gaining insight into my teaching methods. This experience helped me understand and correct my mistakes, enhancing my skills as an educator.
