Chapter 1

This chapter focuses on how to be a good teacher and how to intertpret your knowleged in such a way that your students can understand. The first part of the chapter is really what hit me the most i guess you could say. when the book was talking about what to teach, how to teach it etc., i all of the sudden got really nerves because i feel incompetent in my knowlege that i have accrued thus far. But im a music major so my lessons dont have to be as "planned" I guess you could say compared to that of a history or science teacher. there is such a vast amount of information in this chapter that its hard to pin point, but another thing that caught my eye was the efective practices that prompt learning section. I learned alot and i really want to be able to communicate effectively with my students and have a positive classroom setting.
