How do I start thinking like a teacher (instead of as a student)?

I feel that sometimes, when I am put into certain situations, I start to think more like a teacher. Other times I feel that I am still thinking as a student. When we deal with situations that have to do with helping students or helping others, it seems that my teacher like instincts arrive and I start to think more like a teacher. I think that the path we are going in class is very helpful in getting me to think more like a teacher. I feel that by the end of the semester I will be better and more likely to be thinking like one.

Which theories and historical influences should most impact the schools we'd like to have

I'm not sure that we have covered this yet in class or have read about it. I do understand that there are many theories and historical influences that form the schools in our societies. I feel that after having read some material on this or having discussed it in class, I would better understand it.

How can diversity in the classroom help me be a better teache

We have not yet covered this in class, but from my previous class, I have learned the importance of diversity. In my SED 101 class, we discussed the importance of diversity in the classroom and how it can positively or negatively affect a classroom setting. Diversity is a very important thing for a teacher to have experience with. Having diversity can help a teacher overcome difficult situations where there might be students from a different culture of different background than yourself. Being diverse creates more opportunities for learning, which helps a teacher be better at his of her job.

How Can I be Successful at UMF

I have learned to be successful at UMF through looking through student guides and handbooks. I received these things before the class, but when I have to look up standards and guidelines for UMF, I can look them up in my books. I have also learned from my teachers throughout the past semesters. The teachers that I have had are the ones that have helped me to realize what it is that I have to do to become successful. They are the ones that have the most guidance and insight on what one should do to become successful here at UMF.

How Do I Become a Teacher

Through the reading that we have done so far in class and the discussion of the reading, I feel like I have a better understanding of how I can become a teacher. In the first chapter of The Joy of Teaching, I learned about the things that I would have to be in anticipation of to get my license to teach. To become a teacher I have to have completed things like Praxis and have received my certification. The most important thing that I learned, was that I had to attain the most I can at school and from the classes I am taking to become a teacher, for they will help me learn more of what or who I want to be.
