MY GROUP WORK EXPERIENCE

In my last Practicum class I had an opportunity to work with a group of six people.  We discussed various teaching strategies, chose three and created scenarios to demonstrate each chosen strategy.  In my group there were in-service and pre-service teachers.  I discovered that the pre-service teachers were quite timid and lacked confidence when put on the spot.  However, the in-service teachers were outgoing.  Whilst in the group, the in-service teachers assisted the pre-service teachers in delivering the teaching strategies through drama.  The in-service teachers gave the pre-service teachers wise words of advice and believed in them. When the pre-service teachers stood in front of our class they actually did a really good job.  All in all, it was an interesting and learning experience for both the in-service and pre-service teachers.
