This Wednesday I had my first co teaching experience. \u00a0It went really well and I think I did a good job. I wasn\u2019t as nervous as I thought I would be once I actually got in there, but was more stressed the whole day leading up to it. As I co teach and teach on my own more and more I am hoping that the daylong stress out will shrink away. I definitely think that what helped me be less nervous about the actual presentation was the preparation I put in beforehand. \u00a0I was demoing Scout and I knew exactly where I was going to go with it and why and what I was going to show at each stop. I know some people wing their searches and I would like to get their eventually, but I am not there yet. I think that they are able to do that because they have nailed down what they are looking for and what they want to explain to the class and I think for now incorporating that into my planning is helping me get there. \u00a0The big struggle for me that I need to work on is remaining focused and teaching when some of the students are talking to each other. That tends to be a big distraction for me and throws me off, but I\u2019m not sure what to do about it besides work on that within myself. It\u2019s not like I can \u201cdiscipline\u201d someone else\u2019s class. Overall it was a really great experience and I feel better now that I know I won\u2019t choke in front of a group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
