Last shitty blog of april. I promise.

Here is the last shitty blog I do in april I promise I will do better tomorrow. 

Competency 1: Content


Create experiences that make content meaningful to students and reflect an understanding of the core concepts and structure of education.

Describe:

This competency is, in my mind, one of the most important competencies we have. Content is the subject matter that is taught to the students. If I do not thoroughly know the content I am supposed to teach my students, they will not gain the proper knowledge they need in order to succeed in life. I cannot simply go in to each lesson knowing nothing of the content and expect to teach effectively, therefore it is important for me to know and understand the content I am teaching. Also it is vital that I am interested, in some way, in the content I am teaching to my students. With some kind of interest in the material I will be able to learn the most about the content and actually enjoy teaching it to my students. With both interest and understanding of the content I can properly teach my students the material they need to know. Once I understand had have an interest in the content I can focus on adjusting my lesson to the learning styles of my students in order to help them learn the content to the best of their ability. One of the best ways to have a child learn the material is to connect it to the really world. This is because the students are more likely to pay attention if they know they will need this material later on in their life. Those reasons are why this competency is one of the most important we have.
