Family Learning Institute Fall 2011

"I would advise future students who participate in teacher in-service not to be nervous. The ladies were very friendly and easy to relate with....we may at times feel science is a "weak subject" area for us and that those in the field may look down at us if we answer a question incorrectly. Don't think so. Teaching is a continual learning process. There are techniques we can teach them that are new because a lot of them have not been in a university setting for several years."

"By the time the teacher were almost leaving, I was not as nervous. It felt like they were colleagues -- that we were all teachers (even though we are preservice). This was a great opportunity to step into that role will soon have. Interacting with them made me feel more like a professional."

"It was a great experience and got my day off to a great start!"

"My nervousness changed to pride as each teacher went by the table and encouraged our work."

"The teachers made me feel excited about teaching and made me feel good when they complimented by enthusiasm and teaching style."

"I also liked that there were Hispanic teachers that liked our board being in Spanish because I as able to communicate with them in responding to their questions."
