Being Evaluated by my Supervisor

On the first day I was evaluated by my supervisor I have to admit that i was extremely nervous but I knew that it had to be done. Not only was I being evaluated by my supervisor but there was also my cooperating teacher along with a resource teacher in the classroom. In total there were three other adults besides me in the classroom when I was giving my lesson. At the beginning of the lesson I was very nervous but as I kept going I began to loosen up and everything began to flow naturally. I felt very confident of the material I was showing and the students were engaged in the lesson. I think that my experience as a substitute teacher helped me tremendously because I was comfortable talking to the class and I felt very confident. I noticed the students realized that being in front of a class was nothing new to me therefore they gave me their full attention. I think that every education major should have some time of substituting experience because it helps develop the sense of security in front of a class. At the end of my lesson my supervisor took me outside the classroom and told me that I seemed very confident talking to the students and the students also felt comfortable having me teach the class. My first observation went great and I was able to learn more about teaching a class in general.
