Something I have learned about teaching science with a specific curriculum in place is that teachers can find ways to alter the curriculum to fit their students' needs better. To me, this means incorporating things that students have expressed interest in. This can be done by integrating science topics with other subjects such as ELA or Social Studies. There are many topics in science and SS that overlap or coincide with each other which can help me as a teacher to include topics that my students are interested in and helping them as learners of science. In order to find topics in science that students are interested in, I have learned that it is important to have students complete a survey where they can express things they would like to learn or are interested in learning. Overall, as a teacher I will ensure that my students know they have choice in what they learn and can share their interests with me.

Over the course of the semester, I have seen myself as a learner of science more than I did before. In this course, I engaged in many activities that enhanced my thoughts of myself as a science learner. I enjoyed the activities that we did in class that allowed for exploration and discovery. I also found it helpful that although we were supposed to be learning about teaching science, we were also students who went through the learning process of science topics. When behaving as a learner of science, I saw firsthand how the 5E model takes place in real science lessons even when I am engaging in each step of the model. Overall, I now know that even as a teacher, I can still be a learner of science and learning never ends.

Some goals I have for myself as a science educator is to include science in my classroom as much as possible. I think that students miss out on so many opportunities to learn science and act as learners of science. Nowadays, curriculums in schools are so rigorous that science is often overlooked, but after this course I see the importance of including science topics in education even if there aren't opportunities set by the curriculum. I want to provide my students with activities that require them to engage in discovery and exploration where they can form their own conclusions based on what they see in the activities I provide them with. Overall, I want to bring more positive attitudes and experiences to my students as learners of science.

I was always prepared and on time for class. I did not have any absences or late assignments and came to class having read assigned readings.

I participated in all activities during class and engaged in activities at my clinical site when possible, but they did not do many science lessons other than when I did my lesson practicum with them.

I completed all assignments on time and do not need to improve in any way in this aspect. I think my grade directly reflects this and the quality of my work.

I exhibited positive, patient, and approachable behaviors as a teacher at my clinical site. Students liked having me there and always asked me for help. I was patient with them in how I responded to them and helped them with topics they did not fully understand.

I was always engaged in activities we did in class and I was actively engaged for the entirety of the school day at my clinical site. I was always helping students with their work or teaching students in a whole group or small group activity.

I worked well with my peers in class and on group projects such as the jigsaw activity and the science integration lesson. I also worked well with the teachers at my clinical site and had positive relationships with them.

I showed respect to my peers, professionals, and students. During my peers' presentations in class, I was always listening and engaged in what they were presenting. I was respectful to my professor and my teachers at my clinical site and listened to their feedback and ideas. I showed my students respect by listening to their ideas and helping them.

I showed that I was willing to grow and improve in my teacher education by being receptive to feedback provided to me on the science integration project, as well as feedback from my CT at my clinical site about how I can improve my teaching.

I reflected upon my lesson practicum, used materials that were beneficial to students' learning, and responded to feedback given by my peers and professor on assignments.
