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.
