Student Teaching Reflection 1



This past week, as school has been starting, there are many aspects of my student teaching that I am looking forward to, and others that I am apprehensive of. Since I am not yet in a school, my biggest apprehension is that I do not know what to expect. I don’t yet know what grade I’ll be in, who my mentor teacher will be, or even what school I’ll be at. I am also worried that I will not be immediately successful. When approaching my internship I need to remember that my first few lessons will almost definitely not be completely successful, but I can learn from anything that doesn’t go smoothly or according to plan. I am most looking forward to meeting the students that I’ll be helping to teach this year. Having worked with children before, I think I will enjoy learning about my students’ interests and strengths and using these in my lesson plans. I am also looking forward to getting real-world experience applying the knowledge that I have accumulated throughout my education courses. Overall, I am excited to be viewing a classroom experience from the perspective of an instructor instead of a student.
