Teaching Future Teachers About Teaching

Today, the future teachers in our class taught fellow future teachers about teaching. This imcluded teaching/learning about cooperative learning as well as setting class objectives and providing feedback. My group taught cooperative learning. Familiarity with this classroom strategy will enable us as teachers to fulfill standard 4F, "Teachers help students work in teams and develop leadership qualities." We also learned about setting objectives and providing feedback. Familiarity with this classroom strategy will enable us to fulfill Standard 5A, "Teachers analyze student learning." It was beneficial for us to work together in groups and teach each other. In this scenario, we were able to assume the roles of both teacher and student.
