It's All About Me- How I Best Learn!

MY LEARNING STYLES
I have taken the test to find my learning style and it seems that I am more of a auditory learner and visual learner than a tactile learner.
An auditory learner is someone who learn best from hearing information.
In English class, I prefer hearing and speaking about the book than having to do a quiz or worksheet on it. Talking about the book helps me understand the different options other students have that could help me interpret the book.
A visual learner learns best when information is presented in front of them like writing, pictures, or diagrams.
In math, I like having a visual in front of me, like a drawing or a video to have a better understanding. Having an example on sight helps me understand how to do the work or project. In World History, I prefer having my notes color coded/ highlighted to remember the important information.

MY MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE
My Multiple Intelligences are naturalistic and intrapersonal.
Being a naturalist means understanding the patterns of living and applying scientific reasoning to the world. A naturalistic strategy I use is observing an recording the data.
Intrapersonal means the person is looking inward and figuring out their own feelings and goals. Whenever I'm in English class or World History, I like to take the topic and relate it to my life.






MY HEMISPHERICITY PREFERENCE
In class I discovered that I am a analytical learner, which means we prefer knowing the details and like to take a more logical approach.
Analytical characteristics are:

• benefit from details, clear instructions
• create organizing methods
• prefer to work in a quite environment
• defend their arguments with logic and common sense
• want specific, constructive feedback

Some sayings an analytical learner would say are:

• "What do you want the paper to be about?"
• "Don't touch ANYTHING!" 

TRUE COLORS
My true color is blue. Blues like harmony rather than chaos.
Some characteristics of a blue are:

• compassionate
• spiritual
• imaginative
• react to great sensitivity to rejection
• respond to encouragement than competition
• resilient
• make decisions based on their feelings
• prefer to share emotions
• devoted to what they sett their mind to
• easy going

My description of a bad is whenever I feel rejection or failure. On a "bad day" I feel depressed and isolate myself from my close friends. I also tend to lie to others about my true feelings and at times, if it really bad, I cry. I also start day-dreaming of how I could have prevented this type of day.

My Biggest Challange as a Future Teacher

For the past three days in PEAT we have watched the movie Beyond the Blackboard. The movie itself is emotional and inspirational. After watching the movie, I understood that every teacher, no matter the situation has to face challenges. These challenges can differentiate from the students to the school itself. Therefore, I'm going to discuss my challenges I think I will face when I have my own classroom.

The day I was certain I was going to be a teacher in the future was in 3rd grade. Ms. Aguirre was always excited to see us and would teach us until we knew how to do it ourselves. My inspiration didn't stop there; in my freshman year I had Ms. Keany as my algebra teacher. Being in her class made my passion for teaching flourish. Each teacher has faced different challenges with the school, students, parents, etc.

As I think about my future I have assumed that I will face challenges with becoming a teacher.
One of the challenges that I have feared is not being able to get students engaged in to the learning. If I can't get the student to understand the lesson then he/she will struggle finding answers. The student will loose interest in learning and will stop working. To limit this, I will give students a warm-up to that uses a mix of collaboration and competition. Another way is to let the students write down their questions or a quick write from the lesson they have learned. This method will let the student know where they need help, which then the teacher will have a discussion of the questions written down. If the teacher has a discussion then the student will be attentive to what the teacher is saying.

My second challenge is time management from school, planning lessons, and my personal life. Time management is still a skill I need to master. If I can't manage my time at school or at home them both places will be chaotic. I might mix up the class schedule, or give the wrong lesson plan on the wrong day. In the students and parents perspective, I seem messy and incapable to educate a classroom.They will soon lose respect towards me because I lost their papers or because I can't stay after school. To become more organized with my time I will start having a routine and keeping school and personal life in two separate piles. Another way to master my time management in the classroom is to have the activities, or worksheets out before the students come in. Reminders about the next day also help me and the students. If I forget to collect homework, hopefully, a student will remind me.

Here is a video of challenges teachers face.
