Long Needed Update

Spring break has come and gone, and I am now nearing the end of my student teaching experience. After tomorrow ends, I will have 4.5 weeks left of student teaching at Muncie Central High School. My Learning Assessment Model Project is finished and submitted to Ball State. My next focus goes to my online portfolio where I will upload different artifacts that pertain to the INTASC principles. I have also began the long process of applying for jobs at different school districts. This has been a very exciting part of college and I cannot wait to see where I end up and what I will be teaching.

The first nine weeks have also come and gone in the second semester. I got to experience the hectic times of students trying to boost their grade and turn in mass amounts of late work right before I submit their final grades. I have learned how to be stern with them and stick to the rules that Jane (cooperating teacher) and I have set forth. It can be hard to stick to these because your tendency is to help them, but you must stick to the guidelines.

This has been a very rewarding experience for me as a student and future educator. I have enjoyed my time so far and have learned a lot about my students, teaching, and me. I cannot wait to see how the last section of student teaching shapes up. This experience really makes me look forward to the future when I have my own classroom.
