Critical reflection
It was a great experience having the chance to practice teaching at Ibn Daher School. I
really enjoyed my time in this school. The teachers were very nice to us. They took care of
us and looked after us and helped us. My MST was Shikha Fadel, a very great teacher who
knows exactly what is she doing and who is doing her best to help those students get
educated as much as possible. During TP I learnt many different things. I learnt different
types of strategies to help me through my classroom management. I used behaviorism
boards, stickers without forgetting to mention the body language and the eye contact with
the students. I learnt to use many different strategies, for example to count down and ask
the students to fold their hands and look at me. I also learnt to control the voice tone during
the lesson. It was something I am having a difficulty with, but with the help of my MST I
developed my ability to control my tone while teaching my students. Moreover, I learnt some
strategies to involve my students in learning; like for example using peers interaction
activities. I improved my ability to develop different type of activities and to use
differentiation activities to help me engage my students in learning according to their levels.
I feel like there is many things for me to learn in future. I am hoping to improve my skills in
classroom management and time management in next semester.
