 * Tutoring Reflection [[file:Tutoring 10 Reflection.doc]]

The Love and Logic seminar was an invaluable experience. I know that it is important to learn as much as I can about effective teaching. I am willing to do anything to be a good teacher. Love and Logic is a great seminar that teaches about classroom management. I learned a lot form it. I will definitely keep my packet and use it in my career. The tutoring reflection was a good place to reflect on the week's tutoring and support my group members. Over the semester, we got very close because we understood and helped each other. It is important to support your team members in middle school. It is also important to learn from others. They may have figured out or found something you did not know.
 * Reflect

Project I will definitely make every attempt to become good friends with my team members. They are a great support system. Also, we all have our students' best interests in mind, so we need to work together to do the best for them we can. I have learned a lot from my peers this semester. It was a great way to informally vent our frustrations and help each other. It is also vital to keep learning after college. I will go to as many conferences and seminars as possible. I am even taking an extra course this summer not for college credit. It is a Harry Wong course on classroom management. I think this will only help me become a better teacher. **
