I am student teaching this fall, so that is 12 credits right there...I am going to be in an elementary school for the first half of the semester and a high school for the second half. I am excited for the elementary rotation because I think I will do better with the younger age groups (I have been in a middle school before and I actually like middle school, amazing I know) but I am nervous for the high school rotation. PRAY FOR ME!
In addition to teaching all day, 5 days a week for the entire semester, I have a class called Professional Seminar. I'm not really sure what that is all about but basically I know a big part of it is helping us plan this three-week unit to teach and then helping us to collect our pre-test and post-test data and getting all of that ready to present at the end of the semester. Pretty much just more work on top of already having to teach and do lesson plans for our student teaching.
And also, I am taking a half hour piano lesson in order to keep my songs fresh for my recital in the spring! If I can make it through this semester, I should be home free for graduation, other than that recital thing...eek!
