As I begin my yearlong journey of student teaching there are
a lot of thoughts running through my head. I’m excited to one day (very soon!) have
my own classroom and make my own decisions about what is taught in my class.
I’m excited to make my lessons as informative and engaging as I can, but I’m
apprehensive that I won’t cover everything my students need to know or that
I’ll be known as the boring teacher. I want to find a balance between my anal
retentive tendencies and my too laid back demeanor at times. With these
thoughts and many many more, I have several goals I hope to meet, or be
actively working towards, by the end of my time as a student teacher.
