When asked about people that represent the kind of professional they hope to become, students often identified course instructors and advisors as positive models. (Ronfeldt, M. & Grossman P. 2008, pg. 46)
Since the beginning when I first began my Education program here at the University, I knew that I would gain a lot of experience from my practicums and learn from observing and collaborating with my associates however I did not realize until I attended my classes that my instructors would be a great influence as well. Over time, I noticed that every individual had their own delivery method of teaching and instructional strategies and techniques they would use. Every person has their own comfort zone and preferred way of teaching and attending our various classes, we as student teachers may or may not model the same way but at least we are able to observe and note the different types of teaching methods out there and determine whether or not they are suitable for ourselves. Many of us have been inspired by past teachers we have had in our schooling who have influenced us to become teachers. As pre-service teachers in the Education program, we are more observant about how we would like to teach and the best way to learn is by modelling after instructors because we are able to see first-hand how relevant and effective it would work for ourselves according to our comfort zone.
