Communication

Communication
 * Placement 1
 * Communicating with students is extremely important as a teacher. I felt like my cooperating teacher did not communicate with her students well. I felt like she thought that since the students were in a special education resource class, that they did not care about doing well or what grades they got. I felt like she never talked with them about their grades and said, "good job", or "you can do way better." She never really talked with each student about the grades they got and why. Overall, I think her communication with the students could have been better.
 * Placement 2
 * I think that my cooperating teacher for my second placement did a great job communicating with her students. She was constantly talking with the students about anything and everything. All of the students knew what they were doing well in, and what they needed to work on. I have personally seen her write notes on her student's papers. As well as call students over to talk things over with them. You could tell just from being in the classroom that ALL of the students liked and respected their teacher.
