My goals for this course are to learn more strategies on how to be an effective language arts teacher. I do not have a strong background in language arts instruction because I am not a language arts/English major or minor. Through this course, I also hope to be able to add to my developing teaching pedagogy.
I have had placements in urban settings before in both TE 250 and TE 301 working with literacy instruction. I believe that literacy instruction needs to be hands on and taught in many different forms. I think that it is more beneficial to students learning if literacy instruction is varied, thus non-repetitive. I also believe that one word alphabet picture books do not help students learn to read and that students rely on the pictures and not the words to “act like they are reading”. I hope that this course will help me to come up with more ideas on how to vary my literacy instruction and workshops and or centers that will be beneficial to all ranges of learners, especially students with a low level of literacy.
I want to learn teaching strategies that are effective for language arts instruction. I want to “bloom” this semester by becoming a more successful teacher of language arts and become more confident in my teaching of language arts.
