Mr. McClung's "What I've Learned This Year"

In Mr. McClung's blog he gave a whole lot of great advice! He gave many points on how to be a more effective and better teacher. Some of advice consisted of listening to your students, communicating with your students and coworkers, Being reasonable with yourself and students, being flexible with your lesson plans, appealing to the crowd, and never stop learning.

By listening to your students, your students will know that you care about them other than just as a teacher. They will feel wanted and I personally believe that will better succeed in the classroom if they know that you as a teacher care about them. Communicating with your fellow coworkers is a huge must in the work area. To be able to work together and communicate will allow everyone to have a happy and beneficial work environment. If you have a problem with another teacher or coworker, you both must sit down and talk about it so the problem can be solved. Being reasonable with your students means that you shoulod not set your expectations too high for the students because you could be setting them up for disappointment. If they feel like they did not meet your expectations they will feel as if they have failed you as a student. Appealing to the crowd is a very important piece of advice because if you as a teacher do not make the lessons relate to the students, they will not comprehend what you are teaching them therefor they willnot learn.

Mr. McClung made all these very helpful points in his post and they will benefit me as an upcoming teacher and allow me to be successful in the workforce.
