Home of the Taylor Tigers
 W.C. Taylor Middle School was originally
  a high school that opened in September
  of the year 1952
 The school was originally a segregated
  school, designated for Black students
  only
 Today, however, W.C. Taylor Middle
  School is open to all students, offering
  grades 6 through 8
 Taylor Middle School is home to
  approximately four-hundred students
 Each class consists of approximately
  twenty students
 Most classes are taught by one individual
  teacher; however, if there are more than
  twenty students in a class or if he
  engages in “inclusion,” the teacher will
  be assigned an aid
 Despite the fact that Taylor Middle School is
  over fifty years old, the school is very well-
  kept.
 Their yearly budget is approximately
  $29,000, and it is put to good use, as the
  classrooms are well kept, the halls are well
  lit, and the cafeteria serves, as the students
  call it, “edible food.”
    › Furthermore, there is an immense amount of
     technology available to teachers and students.

 Mr. Meister has been teaching for over
  twenty-five years
 This year was his first at Taylor Middle
  School. Prior to this, he had taught in a
  school in Pennsylvania
 Regardless of his status as “the new
  teacher,” Mr. Meister is respected by
  other staff members, by parents, and
  most importantly by the students
-EighthGrade English
-Approximately 20 Students
Per Class
-No Special Considerations

Mr. Meister‟s classroom stands out. I

 Mr. Meister teaches four periods
  of English each day. This is in
  addition to his duties as the play
  director, the co-coach of the
  football     team,     and   other
  administrative work that he is in
  charge of on a daily basis.
 Mr. Meisier‟s students have a true,
  unwavering respect for him.
  Having witnessed multiple classes
  in multiple grades, I have come to
  realize that such respect from
  eighth grade students is not easily
  “earned.”
Miss. Pierson‟s “Middle School
Assignment:”
(Displayed with permission of the
students and of Mr. Meister)
    -    What students did and did not
        like
    -   What they would change
    -   Tips on how to be a good
        teacher
Students in Mr. Meister‟s class are very passionate about bullying.
Students in Mr. Meister‟s class are very passionate about bullying.
No two students are the same. It was interesting to see how
different students had different approaches to the assignment I
had given.

Miss Pierson‟s:
- Paragraph Assignment
- Poetry Assignment
I separated the class into groups of three and four. The
assignment was to describe flowers, pizza, or outer space.
Though their spelling was not always perfect, their imaginations
were soaring. Again, it was interesting to see how different
students had different takes on the assignment.
This assignment was also an excellent formative assessment. It
allowed me to see how the students were performing in
regards to subject/verb agreement and the 8 parts of speech.
-“Thank  You”
-In response to „Miss. P‟s‟
portfolio assignment…
On the last day of my
practicum, Mr. Meister
presented me with an
opportunity to teach all
four periods of English. I
was very excited, as it
was an excellent
opportunity (He allowed
me to teach twice). While
it was a challenge at
times, the students
seemed to respond
well, and more
importantly, they seemed
to understand my lesson
plan.

Several students handed
this to me before class
ended.
The male students said
they “Couldn‟t possibly
have any part in such a
„girly‟ thank you note…”
Thus, they handed this to
me, before leaving.




                            These notes were reaffirming, to say the
                                            least.
As previously
mentioned, I had
assigned the students
a journal entry that
was to be about
what they would
change and what
they liked about
Taylor Middle School.
They were asked to
include adjectives
and, if possible,
predicate adjectives.
They were aware
that this assignment
was going to be a
part of my portfolio.
One student, hoping
for his “thoughts” to
be included in my
portfolio, felt
compelled to write
Professor Killough a    This student made a point to inform me that
note, himself.          in all seriousness, he meant what he wrote.
                        “By the way…I used three Predicate
                        Adjectives.”
LFCC Practicum
I spent a little over forty-three hours in Taylor
Middle School. It wasn‟t a lot of time, but it
was enough time for me to realize that
teaching        is   one      of    the     most
demanding, thankless jobs in existence…
It is also one of the most rewarding. Having
the opportunity to observe Mr. Meister and
his (nearly 80!) students was one of the
most humbling experiences I have ever
been blessed with.
When I become a teacher, I will not forget
the “words of wisdom” that Mr. Meister‟s
students left me with. I will remember that
my students are not “just kids.” They are
people, and if given the opportunity, they
can learn…they want to learn.
My practicum experience at Taylor Middle
School has had an immense impact on me.
I cannot thank Mr. Meister and his students
enough.
Most information regarding W.C.
    Taylor Middle School was
   retrieved from various staff
 members. Nevertheless, some
information was retrieved from
    the Taylor Middle School
            website.

  • 27. I separated the class into groups of three and four. The assignment was to describe flowers, pizza, or outer space.
  • 28. Though their spelling was not always perfect, their imaginations were soaring. Again, it was interesting to see how different students had different takes on the assignment.
  • 29. This assignment was also an excellent formative assessment. It allowed me to see how the students were performing in regards to subject/verb agreement and the 8 parts of speech.
  • 30. -“Thank You” -In response to „Miss. P‟s‟ portfolio assignment…
  • 31. On the last day of my practicum, Mr. Meister presented me with an opportunity to teach all four periods of English. I was very excited, as it was an excellent opportunity (He allowed me to teach twice). While it was a challenge at times, the students seemed to respond well, and more importantly, they seemed to understand my lesson plan. Several students handed this to me before class ended.
  • 32. The male students said they “Couldn‟t possibly have any part in such a „girly‟ thank you note…” Thus, they handed this to me, before leaving. These notes were reaffirming, to say the least.
  • 33. As previously mentioned, I had assigned the students a journal entry that was to be about what they would change and what they liked about Taylor Middle School. They were asked to include adjectives and, if possible, predicate adjectives. They were aware that this assignment was going to be a part of my portfolio. One student, hoping for his “thoughts” to be included in my portfolio, felt compelled to write Professor Killough a This student made a point to inform me that note, himself. in all seriousness, he meant what he wrote. “By the way…I used three Predicate Adjectives.”
  • 35. I spent a little over forty-three hours in Taylor Middle School. It wasn‟t a lot of time, but it was enough time for me to realize that teaching is one of the most demanding, thankless jobs in existence… It is also one of the most rewarding. Having the opportunity to observe Mr. Meister and his (nearly 80!) students was one of the most humbling experiences I have ever been blessed with.
  • 36. When I become a teacher, I will not forget the “words of wisdom” that Mr. Meister‟s students left me with. I will remember that my students are not “just kids.” They are people, and if given the opportunity, they can learn…they want to learn. My practicum experience at Taylor Middle School has had an immense impact on me. I cannot thank Mr. Meister and his students enough.
