Pesonal Reflection On The Interview

Through the interview with teachers and students, I found the results to be very helpful and inspirational. It helps me know more thoroughly how a teacher really is. The knowledge, other than what is being prepared right now, such as being confident, the ability to demand respect, and holding onto the principles and being flexible towards adjustment takes years of experience, with maybe some blunt mistakes, to come. Also, it was an excellent experience to obtain the understanding of a more professional perspective. There were so many brilliant ideas that young teachers can adopt to make their classes more fun and interesting. I also like Mr. Ahn and Dr. Yamamoto's comments on the challenges young teachers usually confront and how teachers can overcome the challenges to become better teachers. It cleared up several doubts and confusions I had. The answers from the students also rose up many interesting issues that not only young teacher, but I think, all teachers should participate to deliberate. As a math teacher, being able to understand what students think and help them with their difficulties is what makes student feel that their teachers care, and such feeling encourages and motivates students to participate more in the subject matter. One of my instructors once told me that the best method to understand students is to ask them directly. They can feel that they are also important. A successful communication between students and teachers makes a more successful teaching career.
