I'm completing my Bachelor of Education (Primary and Middle) with Honours, and this semester I'm required to keep up to date with reflections of my learning, understanding, and progress as I prepare for a research project, my final prac, and attempting to get a job.
These are my thoughts.

Personally,
I’m more concerned about student attitudes than specific student achievements… I want them to do well, but I’m more sensitive to bad attitudes than to below average performance. I’m still working out what this means for me as a teacher.
It’s incredibly important to me that I consider where a student is coming from and their background… I’m sensitive to meeting individual student needs (this stood out to me as I worked as a teacher aide) and have endless patience to help a student who is struggling with learning a concept… but I have much less patience for students who are rude and smug at the expense of other students, and disrespectful in response to authority.
I can already see that it will be a focus of mine in the classroom to be developing respectful and kind young people while I teach them the content.
