So, as student teachers we need several faculty to observe us. I recently asked one of out new Educational Psychology teachers to review me.

The day she came in the topic was conditioning. Actually, it was the second half to it....operant conditioning. I needed a class activity to drive it home and i say it in a video the night before. (Big bang theory when sheldon starts to condition penny with chocolate)

I wanted to ensure I had an engaged class..so I began asking small questions and whoever answered would automatically get a piece of candy whether the answer was right or wrong.. I was conditioning for responsive students. The poor teacher did not know WHAT was going on...

After the 5th slide in to the lecture one of my front row students blurt out....were you just conditioning us? hahah they are smart as whips they are...

The class continues.. the teacher observer looks all confused about the class so later in the week I make it a point to touch base with her for fear of a bad review.. Once i told her it was an activity to get them to remember about conditioning and operant conditioning...she laughed her a$$ off and used my story to talk about GTA's on a later "tour for new students" who all laughed as well.

shrugs.. sorry students... not sorry.. because it made you remember about operant conditioning! HAHAHAHAHA
