Although the class I was posting to this blog for is over, I figured why not continue adding to it. At the least, it might be interesting for myself to look back at in the future and see how my thoughts, fears, etc. have changed (or stayed the same) over time! Tomorrow marks the beginning of my student teaching placement. I will be working in a middle school, specifically with a seventh grade teacher. I recently was informed that I will not only be responsible for teaching the students language arts, but math, social studies, and possibly science, too.
I am extremely nervous about this, but see it as a great opportunity to expand myself as an educator. I feel the most important thing I need to learn and practice is not how to "teach." I think what I need to focus on is standing in front of the class and feeling comfortable doing so. I also need to work on just general classroom organization. I hope, and have confidence, that with these things in order, everything else will come naturally to me. I know there is no other way for me to succeed than to simply jump into this experience head first!
