The Next Step

Today in my preclinical I was able to teach my first lesson! There was a lot to do in preparation, and I'm glad I had this opportunity this early in my preclinical experience.  Looking over the lesson, I was able to plan out what I was going to tell the students as well as incorporate background knowledge and tie this lesson into their current assignment.  

During this experience, I was able to learn and grow in my understanding of teaching a classroom.  The students were very cooperative and were respectful in giving me their full, undivided attention.  I learned so much about how to present information in such a way the students will be able to remember.  Seeing this, I was able to adjust and realize what I can do to improve.  I'm so glad I got to have hands-on experiences like this!

Organization is key when teaching a lesson!
