Taking Initiative

 Initiative is when you will take charge for yourself and will help other with out asking. 
Here are ways to show initiative in my class:

1: Read aloud to the class
2: Grade paper work for the teacher
3: Take students where they need to go (restroom, resource, nurse, office)
4: Ask if you can teach the class
5: If a student needs independent help, be sure to help them 
6: Help clean up
7: Make up classwork
8: Teach for the class
9:Help with students who have a problem with other students
10:Help the sub in the class

Synonyms of Initiative:
-Charge
-Independent
-Ahead
-Plan
-Scheme

In my classroom I use initiative towards my students by helping them individually on their work. I use initiative towards my teacher by helping them read to class and ask the students questions. Its important to show initiative towards teachers, they will see that your interested in the work and very hands-on working.

Scenario 2:

You are at your EAT field site.  Although you know you are supposed to have your phone put away at your field site, you check it and see that you have a message from another intern in your class.  He said that he had an early dismissal and left the field site campus just a little early, but when he did, he forgot to sign out.  You think this is a bit strange because you never saw him ride the bus to your field site in the first place, but you agree to sign him in and out because you want to let him know he can trust you. After all, Mrs. Meddlesome, your EAT teacher, stressed that it is important to establish relationships with your students and others with whom you work. 

Reaction:
I will text my EAT teacher and my BCTAL teacher about one of my group interns not being around the class that day and say what they told me. I will not take responsibility for their sign in time for in and out. I will keep a positive and honest relationship with my EAT teacher, BCTAL teacher, and group interns.
