Re: Older student teachers
Posted by A Former Older Student Teacher on 4/25/08
Hi Evelyn,
I'm not sure of the purpose of this post. You're summarizing
information you've read about one teacher's experience with
an 'older' student teacher from another website. Is this a
service you're providing the folks here on teacher.net? You addressed your post to 'older student teachers'. What
is it you are trying to tell them, other than informing them
about your conclusions regarding one teacher's experience
that you read about on another website? (If you are looking
for people to engage in intelligent conversation about this,
it would be helpful to provide a link to this website.) Before I respond to your post I would like to ask: Are you
classifying all older student teachers into this category?
