Junior Achievement Self-Evaluation

Junior Achievement Self Evaluation On Junior Achievement Day, my partner, Tayler J. Deggendorfer, and I taught one of the second grade class. We had five lessons to teach in total, and we divided up evenly. I was in charge of the first, third, and half of the fifth lesson. However, due to the time limit, we did not finish all of the lessons. For the first lesson, “People in a Community Work Together,” the purpose is to teach them the idea of what a community is and how people contribute to and benefit from it. During this lesson, we went through some terms, talked about the required skills for a certain type of job, and review the lesson by playing Tic-Tac-Toe, Three Jobs in a Row. After finishing up the review game, Tayler introduced them the idea of working together with the second lesson. Moving on to the third lesson, “Business and Government Jobs,” the objectives are being able to identify government careers and understand how taxation support government services. The students know who government workers are and how they get paid by playing a game – after each student draws out a specific job, non-government workers receive $5 but have to pay tax to the government while the government workers do not receive salaries directly through
For example, after I introduced a variety of jobs, they were involved by pointing out a specific job on the poster. I learned that the younger kids need activities to keep them concentrate in class, and some visual aids help them to understand more easily. On the other hand, since they’ve been so excited, they were a little bit out of control and had too much side conversations. If I was given another opportunity to teach them again, I would show my authority by asking them to pay attention to the teacher. Also, because I learned that how fast a teacher talks during class affects a student’s learning, I would slow down my speed to make sure they know what I am talking
