Student Teaching Reflection 3

This week, we discussed standards in ED 640 and I began to think about how standards will be implemented in my classroom during student teaching and when I become a teacher. Since I live in Pennsylvania, I am expecting my experience to be different than that of my classmates. Pennsylvania does not use the Common Core standards that Maryland does. Because of this, the standards that I use in my classroom may be different than what my classmates are using. I have also noticed that even though my classmates are all teaching in Maryland, even their experiences differ in terms of lesson and unit planning. I am looking forward to finding out what my school's expectations for standards and lesson planning will be.
