Today I’m linking up with The Polished Teacher
for a Student Teaching experiences linky event.
I had a wonderful student teaching experience. My collaborating teacher was wonderful and
taught me a lot about classroom management, having a smoothly running
classroom, dealing with parents, and keeping organized. She even threw an “End of Student Teaching”
party for me on my last day at school. She
had sent a secret note home to parents and all of them sent in small gifts (ok,
some sent in VERY generous gifts) for me to open at the party and then all of
the kids and I made root beer floats. The
principal even came!
This year, I’ll be hosting a student teacher for the first
time. I figured – “I’ve been doing this
for nearly a decade, I suppose it’s time to host a student teacher.” I’m very excited – even more so after meeting
her last week – but a little nervous. If
any of you have hosted a student teacher and have tips to share, I’d love to
hear them!
Also be sure to head to The Polished Teacher
to share your experiences and read about others’ experiences!
