I never realized that with teaching there are several components - where the most imporant component is assessment. Why? Because without assessing what your students have learned, there's no way of knowing whether or not your teaching method is effective. In other words, I've been blindly trying to force these kids to "analyze" these passages without actually trying to see if they actually knew how to apply what I was telling them to apply.
I fail.
At least now I know. This explains why none of my students improved over the summer. I'm a terrible teacher... X.x my goodness
Well now that I know, I guess I just need to improve myself. Ugh this is terrible though, I've been going through 10 monthes of teaching, expecting my kids to just apply what I told them. There are very few kids that actually did... this is terrible!
O well at least I can apply this to my new workplace ^_^ hehe
