For Future Reflection

Looking back on my teacher assisting placement a year from now, I would like to remember each of my students and the learning styles that worked best for each of them.  I feel like one of the most important parts of effective teaching is being able to find how each different student needs to be taught.  If I can find can recall how the characteristics of each of my students this semester and which teaching strategies worked best for each individual, I feel as though I can better reach my "current" students.  Obviously, not every quiet student will learn the same for example, but there may be a strategy that happens to be effective with a lot of quiet children.  So, if I can find this, I may use this strategy first for a quiet student that is new to the class.  This is something that certainly comes with teaching experience, but I feel as though the sooner I can relate students' traits and characteristics to the way they learn, I may accelerate my growth as a teacher.
