In the middle of all this, the high would be that I have already got, I think, a good respond and connection with two of four of my classes, that I fell very comfortable working with. Those are my largest class, Algebra 1, second period, and my last class, Pre-Algebra, the sixth period. It has been based most on the teaching staff with the first class and on the personal connection with the second one.
2) Things going well: I have been present on all my classes. 1) I been trying to inspire a professional and confident presence in class. 2) I have been trying to promote work, concentration and collaboration also.
3) Area of growth in classroom management, I would say two. One is to gain more solid knowledge and manipulation of subject matter (after so many years of not teaching math) together with more proper planning. And the second is how to reach to shy, challenging and unengaged students.
