I learned that teaching might be too stressful for me. Or that I need more support in my life to help me focus on school more. I moved to Terrace to do this program therefore leaving behind all my babysitters and family. I only have one family member here who has her own kids. Also its hard for me to ask for help. I also need a supportive coaching teacher who will welcome my second language training and encourage it in the classroom. I am considering going  back home to do my next practicum, if I do it again. I learned that I do not need to raise my voice so loudly at the students, giving them consequences for talking when they shouldn’t be works well (with that particular class anyway). I realized when you have students who have experienced trauma, using a very firm voice might very well trigger them and cause them to shut down or act out. Coming from a traumatic childhood I understand these students better and know they need compassion and to check in with their needs. I learned that I should stay at the school after it is over and prepare for the next day. I was overwhelmed with everything: school, parenting and the pandemic. I could not balance it all. Plus I have been going to school for six years and I think I am burning out. The students respected and connected with me, I do enjoy being with the students. If I do ever get my own classroom there will be a lot of language and culture involved. I learned that not everyone is incorporating the indigenous knowledge perspective in their classroom like they should be, according to the bc curriculum. Although they have a First Nations resource centre down the hall. Ignoring the indigenous knowledge will not do the students well.
