Topic > Host Teacher Reflection - 729

As an eclectic and multifaceted teacher (child development, nutrition lessons, teen life, interior design, etc.) in classes that pose more social/real life issues , this is partially true in his case with the curriculum in the sense that it teaches how to solve real world problems. Compared to standard base classes. The relationship between Dr. Farinacci and her students is positive. All students feel comfortable with her. I think her young age plays a role because students feel a sense of identification with her. I know from first hand experience that she is a nice teacher, you don't feel intimidated or scared to ask questions but rather a feeling of welcome. Since her class is student-centered, the students also feel equal to her compared to the teacher who gives an authority like the lettuce lesson and I think that is important because it helps build a bond with the students. I think, as a future teacher, it's great to see how relationships progress. However, because it is a student-centered class, students have a lot of freedom. I think some students have started to abuse that power, in terms of not being as productive and not listening as well because they see her more as a friend than a teacher. It concerns me because even though it is a fun elective class, students don't take the class seriously compared to an elementary class.
