Blog 13: Lesson 2 Reflection


Content:

1. Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Lesson 2 Presentation and why?
I'm proud that I was able to make time. In my first presentation I had an issue with that but this time around I made time. Also I feel like I did an ok job connecting both my research and my answer so I felt pretty good about that.

2. Questions to Consider
       a.     What assessment would you give yourself on your Lesson 2 Presentation (self-assessment)?

       AE       P          AP       CR       NC

       b.     Explain why you deserve that grade using evidence from the Lesson 2 component contract.
I feel like I deserve a P because I made sure to meet all the requirement. I tried to make everything work out to the best of my ability. For example, I made sure to write speaker notes, I brought a decent amount of books and printed research, I brought a lot of props, and I tried to connect my research and mentorship to my answer. I strived to get an AE, but I honestly feel that I wasn't fully able to go above and beyond enough to fairly deserve an AE.

3. What worked for you in your Lesson 2?
I would have to say that my lesson 2 gave me the foundations I needed to begin effectively formulating my next answers. I also feel like my activity was effective enough to perhaps be used in me final presentation.

4.  (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would you have done differently to improve your Lesson 2?
Maybe I would change my wording of a few things. I feel like I might have unintentionally put too much emphasis on the fact that teaching karate is an actually business and that my answer (parental involvement) was not only important to my EQ (which focuses on teaching only) but also in creating a healthy business.I guess to a degree, I might have come off as if I was putting my effort on keeping a business alive and not on effectively teaching kids, which is the point of my topic.

5. Finding Value
What do you think your answer #2 is going to be?
I think that my answer 2 will be: A positive and encouraging attitude from an instructor can go a long way to encourage and inspire students to learn. My research for this is still in the works, so I'm not entirely certain about it quite yet.
