This week has been a bigger transition for me. In my honors Pre-Calculus classes, I have been going over the bellringers with them and answering their homework questions. This has really helped me become prepared for teaching the class. I will begin teaching my 6th period class full time next week. Then, the following week, I will begin teaching my honors Pre-Calculus students full time. I am very excited, but a bit nervous to begin my full time teaching experience. However, both of my mentor teachers offer great support and guidance. I am fortunate to be working with both of these novice teachers. Today, I have prepared a pre-survey about problem solving and group work to give to my students on Monday. This will start the beginning of collecting data for my action research on the affect of group work on student learning in a Pre-Calculus class. Even though a lot of work will be involved for my action research, I believe it will be beneficial to me as a prospective teacher. I will be able to gain insight on how group work may or may not help students with word problems and problems solving. Sometimes, this can be a difficult part of learning math.
