After our first week in Quest 2, I now know why the Professors have stresed the importance of mastering our professional attributes. I have seen teachers and university students who are great examples of these professional attributes. I think teachers should master these traits, and I do realize that the mastery of these traits takes time.
There are a couple that I find challenging. They are Health and Ableness and Reflectivity attributes. Even though I have children and try to be careful about getting sick, germs from school are resilent little buggers and sometimes they cannot be avoided. Taking vitamins ,getting enough rest, and washing your hands are important items to do but they maynot save us from every cold. Finally I believe that I can always improve on the reflectivity attribute. I know that the longer one teaches, the better able they should be to step back and evaluate wether or not a lesson was successful, the tests were designed perfectly, etc.
To close this reflection, I would like to say I think that we have a great group of students this year, and the cluster of Quest Two teachers-to-be are a wonderful bunch of ladies. I know we will have a very productive and fun year!
