I
just got the confirmation email…. I will have a student teacher next spring!!
I
am so excited to have a chance to be able to lead and mentor someone in the
education field. Especially since I have decided the only reason I would ever
go back to get my Masters is if I decided I wanted to teach pre-service
teachers at a University. I think this opportunity will give me wonderful
insight to how difficult yet how rewarding it could be! I think it will really
show me if I want to keep that as an option for later down the road (I am
definitely not ready to leave the classroom quite yet).
The
challenges I anticipate:
-
Relinquishing
control! (I think I should begin praying for that now)
-
Since
she will only be with me for the Spring, the kids will have to adjust to a new
teacher in the middle of the year
-
Having
patience while she learns how to do things! J
The
awesomeness I anticipate:
-
Being
able to share ideas with someone in my room!
-
I
had such amazing mentors throughout college and I can’t wait for the
opportunity to be that for someone else! (hopefully!)
-
Learning
new things from her as well!
I
am positive I will think of many more challenges and rewards in the months to
come, but I just wanted to share my initial excitement! I feel so incredibly
blessed in my job.
