Bryan's Student Teaching

So Bryan was a little hesitant to teach 7th and 8th graders this fall- but everyday he comes home and tells me stories about how it has really connected with a student.  One of then refused to do any work and would just sit all day and not do the worksheets.  After telling him to get to work several times, Bryan had a chat with him to realize he didn't have a notebook or pencil.  Simple as that.  After providing him with those supplies, he got right to work and got an A on his first test!  He has a tender heart for these students and really wants them to succeed. 

Bryan was also evaluated by his teacher he teaches with and his supervisor and has received great remarks!  He connects well with the students, catches their attention, uses great handouts and worksheets, and they can tell he really cares about them.  I know he'll be an excellent teacher!  

Go Mr. Westfall!

  1. bryan (mr. westfall) will be an excellent teacher because he has his mom and dad and other family members as great examples of teaching. if he can keep 7th and 8th graders interested in geography and world history then he must be doing something right. how many of them know what is the largest state in the US? good luck on the job search for when he is a real teacher looking for a paid job.
