Reflection 4

Emily,

I completely agree with you on assessing that one of the roles a teacher will have to play in the 6th grade classroom is a mentor. 6th grade is so different than high school in that they really look up to you as a teacher and are really relying on you for guidance because they are still in the elementary mode. I also think it was great that you addressed the fact that sometimes teachers have to play contradicting roles. Do you think being a friend to your students but also being the disciplinary figure will be tough for you?
