Aside from learning as much as I can about classroom management, and teaching techniques, I would also love to get to know my students on a personal level. I would like to know what they like, how they learn, what they need to help them learn, etc. So far I haven't been very involved in any sort of "get to know you " conversations with any of them, but they are still shy and opening up to one another.
By the end of the first nine weeks, I wold love to be able to know and understand most of my students' learning styles. I would also like to develop a very strong relationship with my CTs, and get to know them on both a professional and personal level. Learning why they do certain things, not just that they do certain things.
Lastly, I would like to get very comfortable with the district's pacing guide, and common core standards, by the end of the first nine weeks.
Getting to know my students is a priority for me, and I feel like I'll do a good job with that.
I like you comment on not just getting to know 'what a teacher does but why they do it.' I think that is one of the keys to understanding our CT's.
