This week was my first week in ___________ and I learned a lot of things that I could never learn from text books.

On the first day in my co-op placement as a math teacher assistant in Highland, I helped the teachers to mark the grade 9 linear relationship math test. At first, I thought it was a boring job that anyone could do. However, as I started marking it, I realized that marking students’ tests actually requires a lot of skills. It helped me to rebuild my grade 9 math skills that I forgot due to the lack of practice, and to know more about the students in my class. Marking the tests can help me find out which students are weak in certain areas and may need extra tutoring. This allows me to pay extra attention to those students who get low marks on the tests and find out an efficient way to help them. Also, this activity allows me to set my goal for the rest of the year of helping all the students to improve their marks, gain back interest in math, and help them to see how math is relevant to their future. I would like to keep marking their tests, so I can see the result of my tutoring by monitoring their progress over the course of the school year.

On the Friday, I experienced the toughest thing that teachers go through in their teaching career: I had to face a student with behavioural problems and persuade him to cooperate with me when he refused to do so. It was during the third period, when I was marking the tests and the students were quiet and listening to the teacher. One of the students started to make weird noises and talk to his neighbour when he was supposed be to paying attention. I walked to his seat and politely asked him to stop interrupting the class and start listening to the teacher. He refused to do so, and talked even louder in class. I got angry and said, “Stop talking! Listen to the teacher or you won’t get anything on the test”. He replied by saying, “Why should I listen to you? Who are you?” By this time, the teacher looked at us and asked what was happening. I went up to the teacher and told him what was going on. He immediately gave that student a detention after school and taught me how I should act when I am facing a behavioural student next time. He told me that I should not act scared when a student is replying in a rude manner. I should stand up with confidence to give the student a message that “I am in charge in this class and you should listen to me”. By doing so, students will eventually quiet down and listen to you. After Friday’s experience with the behavioural student, I now know how to act in front of the class to gain more respect from them.
