Improving Learning Goals

While at PDS I have developed numerous ideas about how to improve my performance or growth as an educator. I have found the area needing the most improvement in my practice was dispensing the material in a fun and easy to understand way. While lecturing students have a hard time to relate the material to their lives. This makes it difficult to dispense such detailed material to the class. Now that I am in my PDS more, I have found it easier to relate the material to a wide array of students. I can now understand them on a personal level which allows me to use things that interest them as examples within the class. I have learned that it is extremely important to know your student's interests and passions, so you can help them understand how the material relates to themselves. I will constantly look to improve all aspects of my teaching so that I can improve the learning capacity of my classroom.
