SEPTEMBER, 29th

 Today we have completed an adaptation of  the European portfolio for pre-primary educators (PEPELINO) In this form we can find some questions about our expectations about the professional learning and about our future profession. For example:

What, in my opinion, do my teacher educators expect of me?

I think that Maribel and Juan Antonio expect of me and the rest of my classmates that we want to learnt to know how to teach, motivation, ddication to the task that they propose to us and also to demonstrate all we will learnt during the course in the practicum and in our future works.

What professional qualities do I need to develop as a pre-primary educator?

In my opinion, the most important qualities that a very young learners' teacher must have are: patience, creativity, empathy and the most important for me is the vocation because if you don't like work with children you don't have nothing to do in this profession. If you are not motivated to be a part of the learning's procees of the student, they will notice it and they neither wil be motivated to learn.

What I have learnt today? Today I have learnt that is necessary to stop and think about what we want to do and if what we are doing satisfies us to know if we want really to be teachers (in this case) from now to the rest of our live.

For me it has been really important to complete this form because thanks to some of the  questions I could have done a reflection about my future profession that I've never done before. We have to be sure that we want to be teachers of very young learners and we have to be too motivated to be the best teachers. One of my goals when I start working like a teacher is that my students remember me like I remember my pre-primary teachers.
