Review #2

What are you doing well? 

• I'm interested in the subject and the curriculum.
• I'm trying.
• I feel I have learned A LOT that will help me as a student, mother, and a teacher!

What are you not doing well? 

• I'm having a hard time keeping up!

Are you making sufficient progress on your goals?

• I'm running out of time and not feeling very confident about reaching my goals.
• I'm wondering why I'm struggling so much because usually I don't feel this stressed about school. I'm thinking it's the shortened learning time. I

List specific things you need to change in order to meet your goals.

• I guess I just need to keep plugging away at my assignments.
• I need to find/make more quiet uninterrupted study time.
• I need to stop avoiding the key assignments even though the thought of them totally overwhelm me!
• I need to not let perfectionism and fear of failure keep me from trying.

How is your motivation? Are you focusing on mastery or performance goals? Does anything need to change?

• My motivation is waning. I'm starting to fear failure.
• Somehow I need to let the performance goals go.
• I'm intimidated by the key assignments! I'm afraid of them! I feel like they are too hard! I've got to get over this fear!

How is your field experience going? Name at least one take-away from your field experience to this point.

• I've put in the time, taught my lesson, learned a lot by observing but haven't written too much about it yet! I've got to do it!
• A take-away from my field experience is that I truly do enjoy being in the classroom! I am looking forward to the day when I FINALLY am a teacher!

What can I (Dr. Cox) do to improve your learning in this course?

• Keep being patient like you have been.
• Keep modeling excellent teaching! I love learning from you!
