Questions over interview assignment

I enjoyed the interview assignment alot. I found hearing from an expeirenced teacher on her day in the classroom fery helpful. I am most proud of taking in everything the interviewee said with great respect. The teacher I interviewed is a fourth grade all subject teacher. She had so many great things to tell me about her expierences in the teaching field. I feel the best way for me to learn is by seeing or hearing from someone else first hand and that is what I have achieved through this assignment. I was able to not only hear what she has to say about teaching fourth grade, but I came at a time when she was teaching a lesson so I was able to see how she teaches too. Just about everything I heard from the teacher I interviewed I found useful. Whether it was useful in the fact that it would be something I would want to implement in my classroom, something thad had not at all worked for her, or even information I found useful was techiniques or ideas she was using that I did not find working out to well. However, the most exciting idea I got from this interview was to use as much discussion in the classroom as possible. I saw first hand how well the children interacted together and how much more information the recieved from the lesson just by being able to talk and ask questions. I did not come away from this assignment thinking it was a "piece of cake" and I learned everything I could possibly learn. I had chose to interview the teacher I am currently field basing with. At first I thought it would be a good choice, but looking back I wish I would have interviewed someone I was not familiar with.
