Other Teaching Groups

There was a total of four groups to teach our second grade class. I was in the third group, so this blog will focus on the three other groups that taught the class.

The first group, being the most difficult because they went first, they did a wonderful job. They had four perspective teachers. Their topic was goods and services. Their three lessons focused on what a good is and what a want is. They seemed to work well together and planned efficiently. What I learned from this group is how a teacher needs to fully think about everything regarding all types of students. I learned how to properly create an evaluation for group/self work. The class we were in, the students were too young to evaluate the group work, so a teacher needs to be able to identify when that is the case and change it to an appropriate way. For this class, it would be a self evaluation.

The second group also had four teachers. Their lessons were about services in our community. I really loved how their direct lesson-their first lesson, they all dressed up as different services, for example: a police officer. They separated their teaching into different elements of the lesson and it worked for each of them.

The third group was my group.

The fourth group to teach was about banks and money. They seemed to be very knowledgeable about this topic. It was interesting to see the three of them teach because they all seemed to be  different types of teachers but they worked well together. The three of them worked very well by means of assigning roles on the lesson. For each lesson, it seemed that they took the same elements for each lesson. They grew strong for their individual parts; however, I'm not sure if they did this on purpose or if that is just a coincidence!
