Berlyn Elementary School
2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic choice?
- Mrs. Sosa was mine and my sibling's first grade teacher, so I know she's a great teacher. She has been teaching for seventeen years, so I believe this makes her qualified to mentor me as a school teacher.
3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.
- How can a teacher ensure understanding among heir students?
- What type of preparation does a k-6 teacher need?
- How can the teacher personalize the learning?
4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?
- The most important thing that I've gained from this experience is perspective. I always thought that being a kindergarten teacher would be fun and easy, but now I see that I was right about the fun part. The teachers are always busy doing a million things at a time. Now I got a behind the scenes glimpse of the kindergarten chaos.
5. What is your senior project topic going to be? How did mentorship help you make your decision? Please explain.
- My senior topic is going to be teaching children. I loved mentoring and helping the little kindergartners because their was never a dull moment. There is always something that needs to get done and although it's tiring work I'm sure that this topic will have plenty for me to research.
