"Where am I now on my journey towards becoming an art
teacher? Where do I hope to be by the end of this semester?"
It’s surprising how close I am to
student teaching and finishing my degrees; these semesters have passed so
quickly. I’ve been really looking forward to this course and I think there are
some crucial skills that I will learn through this experience to prepare me for
student teaching. I feel that my time in school and hard work has and is
preparing me for teaching. Thinking about student teaching in the fall is a
little overwhelming, but I’m excited about the prospect. It seems that all of
my hard work is about to pay off!
I hope to
reach a new comfort level while at my placement this semester. I found that by
the end of my time at my last placement I had built relationships with my
cooperating teacher, the students, and I felt comfortable teaching a lesson. I
think that given the increase in hours and past experiences I will be able to
accomplish this without too many hurdles. By the end of this semester I hope to
have more experience writing lessons for all ages, working with students with a
variety of skill sets, with the dynamics of a school setting, and to be more
knowledgeable about the tools that I have access to during this course. I also
hope to discuss our experiences at our different sites and questions that arise
as we struggle to be our best selves for the students and cooperating teacher.
