Post #1
I really enjoyed the first day of class. I liked how the teacher encourages the whole class to participate in class discussions. I am most interested in learning about how people learn and learning how to make learning more fun to kids. I hope by the end of this class I can understand and appreciate the art of teaching. Even though I don't want to be a teacher, I know it is important to learn what the teachers do because I will be beside the teacher to interpret for a child of theirs. I think this class will greatly help me in my future profession by getting a better understanding of how the teachers do things in the classroom. By taking this class I feel that I would have an upper hand on walking into a classroom to interpret for a child rather than if I didn't take the class and didn't know anything about how teachers teach.

Brian's "enthusiasm" certainly does help the class environment feel pretty good. I enjoy the dry humor.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to your not wanting to become a teacher, if you do plan on interpreting for a child, you may find yourself becoming a teacher/tutor of some sorts. With my limited amount of time in a Deaf environment public school resource room, I saw all of the interpreters helping students with homework and sometimes situations in life that are overwhelming. With that in mind, I do think this class will be equally rewarding for educational interpreters and teachers alike. Glad you already see that this class may have some merit for you!
