Interview Reflection Paper Page 2

After this interview was completed I had gained a new insight on reading assessment. I

learned that it is difficult to balance your reading philosophy with what the school wants you to

teach. Written tests given by the state will always exist in my opinion, however, I was shocked

to learn how important Mrs. Husband believed both anecdotal notes and observations were.

Spending time in this classroom will help me focus on becoming a better observer. I hope to

learn from Mrs. Husband in this aspect so when I have my own class I will be able to

individually help each student achieve.

I have always understood that each student learns differently but after interviewing Mrs.

Husband I truly believe that each student will have different goals. Although Mrs. Husband

teaches in a resource room I think that it will be beneficial to my students and me to write goals

with each of my students at the beginning of the year and focus on their individual needs. So

much time is spent on reading during the day that I think using the assessments that have worked

with Mrs. Husband will help benefit me as a teacher. It is important that I always remember that

each student is an individual and that anecdotal notes and observation are assessments that can

be used to show improvement for each student.
