After more than three months of struggles/torment/fun, we have finally come to an end of our first term in NIE! Besides the nouns mentioned above, I would just like to sum up by saying that I did learn a lot in these three months.
Before entering NIE, I knew that teaching is tough, but I never knew that it is THIS tough. In fact, the degree of difficulty follows a positive relationship with how good a teacher one wants to be. It is the expectation that I have for myself as a teacher that is propelling me forward while adding on to the burden on my shoulders. However, I believe that I need the drive and motivation to keep moving on, which means that it is important that I constantly set high expectations of myself (this is something which I am still working on).
Anyway, one of my favorite classes in NIE is QED526 Teaching and Managing Learners at JC/Secondary school Level. It is also one of the classes I have learnt the most from. It teaches practical strategies we as teachers could adopt when managing our classroom and it is really fortunate that our tutor for the class is a great mentor! I would really miss attending his class and would definitely put what we have learnt into good use.
