student-teacher

by Pat

Jan 8, 2010

I am somewhat nervous, not about being a student-teacher but about the teacher who will be my mentor during the internship. I have realized that a teacher has a 101 things to do and my concern is, will this mentor be 110% honest, dedicated and willig to commit herself to my needs as a student-teacher. I am looking forward to being in a positive environment and expecting to want to come to this class on a daily basis.

It would be nice if the 110% thing was done away with. That is sort of silly and I know, not literal but really, let's keep things realistic. You will undoubtedly have days you do not look forward too - that is the nature of the profession - but you are responsible for how you handle yourself on those days.

You will undoubtedly have days you do not look forward too - that is the nature of the profession - but you are responsible for how you handle yourself on those days. Your cooperating teacher will do their best but they are only human so expecting more than 100% is not fair and you need adjust your attitude accordingly.
