Reflection on the letters to teacher

I hope to implement a lot of activities in my classes like videos, demonstrations, and projects. However, I am afraid that in the high level courses there will be not enough time to work on projects and activities like the lower grade. Classroom management is also something I am afraid of. Keeping students on task and keeping the noise level down during homework time. Furthermore, I am afraid I can not explain things clearly and going too fast. I need to practice on explaining a concept in different ways to help different learners understand.


I hope I can be a very organized teacher on the schedule of the year and on what is going to be taught and tested. I think it is unfair to give extra challenging questions on the tests, I think tests are for checking students’ understandings and questions should be on things that we covered. I also hope to give retests. I believe in mastery and if students want to improve, they should be given the chance to. Tests are not punishments for what they don’t know, but to help them improve. Challenging students is also important and challenge questions can be implemented in projects.
