Remarks on KWRL Charts
I really enjoyed the activity we did at the end of class on Monday regarding the KWRL chart. As a future teacher this is something I'll need to consider as I start my career. There are things I will already know coming into my career, but also so many things I will wonder about and will need resources for these questions. As a new teacher, there will be so much for me to learn, and I think a lot of it will come with experience. Education classes through the university are just a preparation for what is to come. I think they are great resources to get a good understanding of what good teaching consists of, but I do think experience will be the key to becoming a great teacher. There are many things I wonder about. Things such as: How will I teach topics that I myself am not too confident about? How will I deal with parenting conflicts? How will I grade a student on things that don't have clear cut answers? These are just a few of the many things I will not know the answer to at first. I have many resources I can turn to though, such as fellow co-workers, my professors, and books. I think teaching is one of the most challenging careers out there, but in the end, one of the most rewarding as well.

Great questions! All of these would be good questions to read, think, and write about in your teacher inquiry project.
