Reflection #1: Introduction

            

                Hey guys! My name is Lacy Osborne and I am teaching high school math. I am very excited to be student teaching out at Wall HS for their geometry classes. After taking college geometry this past semester I realized how much I really like geometry and would like to teach it. This works out nicely considering most first years teachers end up teaching that subject. I'm not sure where I will be when I graduate. I have a chance to go back to my alma matter to teach and coach, which I would absolutely love. The only thing is I would end up being there with two of my little sisters, I wouldn't mind but I don't know how they would feel about that. Also though, I am getting married in June so we have to figure out a place where we can both get good jobs. 

                 Teachers do where many hats and I feel one of their many goals is to teach students to learn in a way that transcends past the classroom walls. I want my students to be able to succeed in my classroom, but also out in the regular world. I also believe that we as teachers are to engage students. We aren't there to just sit back in our comfort zone and hope the students will learn in the way we teach. We should be reaching out and trying different things to engage the students into the lessons. Teachers are also huge role models. As a student I payed a lot more attention to my teachers than they think I did. If a teacher didn't really seem to care about their job or their students, I didn't care as much either. On the other hand if a teacher was enthusiastic about what they where teaching and actually seemed to care about us, then it made me want to try hard for myself and for them.

Just me!
