To ensure a smooth transition from you
to your cooperating teacher, I hope to accomplish only one thing. Because,
tomorrow we are starting a new unit on Waves and it is a month long unit, I
hope to prepare all the lessons and activities that I would have thought, if I
was to finish out the unit with my class, so that there is continuity of
learning and scaffolding and so that lessons aren’t disjointed.
I’d
have to say that my greatest growth experience so far during my student
teaching time would be learning how to relax and not be so nervous while
teaching. My fear of public speaking, while greatly diminished, before the
start of my student teaching was ever present, and it got in a way of being a
confident teacher. Now I can say that I no longer suffer from that affliction,
and I have no apprehensions about standing up in front of my students and
teaching.
I’m very excited about attending
the April 27th Alumni Panel. Given a chance I would ask the Panel what
was the most difficult part of first day of school on the new job? How can we
prepare for it to make it easier?
After spending 17 weeks with the
student of 7th grade, I believe that it is my cooperating teacher
who made my teaching experience a pleasant and fairly easy assignment, I will
also miss the 7th grade teaching team who made me feel welcome from
day one and treated me like one of them. However, I believe that it is the students
that I will miss the most.
