Kristen I am still in my methods courses, so I'm not teaching every day, all day, all semester, but I am teaching a few weeks at a time. I understand how hard it is financially. I have an infant, so my loans/grants help, but they don't last very long. I find a lot of ideas for lessons on Pinterest and most of them don't cost anything or are very cheap. For...See More

Talk to your college advisor, now In general, student teaching is no different from any other semester of college. You do a lot of work and pay for the privilege; no income in the bargain.

Problem Based Learning - How to (parts 1, 2,3)

by Teachers.Net Gazette

Feb 4, 2013

I'm nervous about where I will be placed. I am excited to have a more "real" experience of a classroom. I know it will be a lot of hard work, but I have a great group o...See More

Julie You have the perfect attitude for someone about to begin student teaching--a very positive one! Yes, it will be a lot of hard work, but it will also be very rewarding and enlightening.

What happens if you fail student teaching? Can you redo?

by Mitch

Mar 4, 2013

My girlfriend is wrapping up her masters program in education- she aced every class, but said her student teaching is a disaster, and is convinced she won't be given a passing grade. I told her if that happens, do it again, just request a different school to student teach. She said student teachers have one shot. Is that true?
