Some impressions and words of wisdom from student teachers "on the field":
Teaching is way more intense than I thought, However, I
think it is all worth it when I see that "light bulb" go on when I
help a student understand a concept or teach them something new. Being a
teacher has lots of ups and downs. The ups definitely out weigh the downs
and I feel I am in the right profession.

I am very fortunate to be teaching
at this High School. On my very first day, I felt so welcomed by all the
teachers. So many teachers, even from different departments, introduced
themselves and welcomed me to the community. I find this very important
to me because it shows that everyone is supportive, which provides a productive
and efficient working environment. We played games and had meals provided to us
by the school, indicating that they care about their teachers.

Some first impressions of the class I will be
teaching are the students seem to be intimidated by the subject of
biology. They may have had friends before
take the class and tell them it was difficult or maybe it is that majority of
the students are 9th and 10th graders and are trying to
adjust to the high school setting.
What
puzzles me so far in the class is how we will cover all the standards required
by the stay in such a short amount of time.
It is already the end of the second week of school and we have not yet
completed the second unit. There are
only eighteen weeks in a semester and nineteen units much be covers in order
for the students to be prepared for the end of course test.
