"Topic Chosen for Simulation"

I originally chose student and teacher interaction. I narrowed that down to three subtopics and the one subtopic chosen was incorporating real-life scenarios into the classroom. I think that this chosen subtopic is one that will allow the teacher and the student to get to know each other and by doing this, they may be able to create a more positive learning process. On a personal level, I find that there are times where teachers become so busy with preparing students for the test that they lose sight of the big picture. The big picture is the idea that children learn more when they feel as if they are a part of the learning process. I can also remember sitting in class and feeling as if the lesson was not relevant to me as a child. I would like to make my own teaching more relevant to the life of the student rather than being driven by the information found within the textbook.
