Week 4

18. May – 22. May

First of all, I had a first meeting with my academic supervisor, Beverley Roser, this Friday at coop class.
She seemed very nice~ ^^* even though telling her about my coop plan was bit nervous.

She looked like quite surprised when she heard I’ve already started working and it’s at AUT~! Haha On the other hand, I was bit happy about me.
Why? I’m little bit ahead than the others- ^^;; Just a bit of relief…^^;;

My lessons went well as like usual~ I think I’m very lucky!
I have so good and understanding students as well as supporters~!

There is one important thing that I learn this week
– “Having long-them aim s and objectives in teaching.”

Elizabeth told me this in the meeting of this week.
She said it is very important to have long-term aims when we teach students.
It makes teachers can measure students after weeks and terms.
It is the obvious evidence that students are improved and learned also it can be the feedback for teachers themselves as referring the achievements or failures of students.
Also, it is necessary especially for low level students as they need a lot more repetition.

Therefore I made a decision to have a long-term and specific goal in my coop teaching which is very similar when I write a learning contract for coop paper.
– The measurable and specific outcomes.

Now…I need some time to develop better teaching plans for the rest of weeks….!!
