Welcome to student teaching! I hope that this semester
is a rewarding and exciting time for you. I know that you will learn a
lot as you get settled in at your school. We will meet regularly as a group
during your student teaching. I will be leading the student teaching seminars.
These meetings will provide you with an opportunity to share your experiences,
learn from each other and from me (and other guests). Whether you are an
intern or a student teacher you are expected to attend and participate
at these seminars.
The topics of discussion will be determined in large part by you and your needs. The initial topics will be decided on by me. Among other things, we will discuss some of the more mundane issues related to teaching, which don’t usually get talked about in methods classes. You will find out about on-campus in-service sessions. You will also begin to set up your file in the placement office. We will be discussing the Science Education Program Goals that you will provide evidence of in your portfolios, which you will be submitted at the end of this class or your student teaching assignment.
