How has my thinking around teaching changed/enhanced in practicum

Practicum inspiration

Practicum was a time and place where i was able to be hands on with the children passing knowledge down and also receiving it. Practicum for me was a chance to be independent with the children and not relay on anyone but my self . During my two weeks it was a time were mind over matter came forwards it allowed me to be grateful and learn how to appreciate the presents of the younger generation. I was able to enhance the knowledge of my A.T and the school and also was a witness to the schools daily routine and also events outside of school. Practicum for myself was a struggle daily because my whanau and I were preparing for the lost of my nan which later in the second week she passed which was difficult to wake up and leave my nans bed side not knowing when I return if she would be there but every day was a journey from there. Morrinsville school showed me the reality of life being a teacher and that life sometimes cant be put on hold. I have learnt to continue on when things are tough and just bite the bullet.
