So this is the end...a little late, but this is it! I have truly enjoyed my student teaching and I feel like I have gotten a lot out of it. I had a great host teacher who gave me a good amount of material to start my first year off with. She gave me some really great advice and helped to prepare me for my first year by myself. I think that I learned a lot myself as a teacher and I feel that I grew as a professional. At first I did not feel very confident in my content area but now I feel extremely confident in my content. I am also more confident in dealing with discipline issues and handling other problems as well.
Now, I am focusing my energy on finishing up all this paperwork! Ugh...I can see the light though---its close!! Now its just off to get a job! ;)
Glad you had a good experience student teaching. It amazed me how much I thought I knew about my content until I started to teach it, I feel I am truly an expert on plants now. Just about done.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you love teaching, dont know what you would do otherwise. haha. Anyways I agree I feel like student teaching was an amazing experience and feel that I have gotten so much out of it. I miss my students and plan on going back to visit them.
ReplyDeleteDitto. I felt very shaky going into my content just because high school kids love to play 20 questions and usually it's the most random things they wanna know about. Good luck with finishing up everything~!
