The most important thing I learned during my fieldwork observation is that not every class will be easy. The class that I observed was a very tough class. Each student individually was good, but the class just didn't seem to be able to listen to directions. The teacher, Ms. Cheney, told me that she had tried a lot of different class management tricks and none seemed to work. It is important for the teacher to just keep working hard. It is important for the teacher to not get discouraged when they have a tough class. Every school year will be different. There are good and difficult years. I feel that it is important for me to remember that going into teaching. It's also important to be patient with ones students and be able to change ones lessons/plans to better help the students. I really enjoyed observing the class and am really excited to become a teacher and make a difference in my future student's lives!
