EXPECTATIONS FOR STUDENT TEACHING
Student teaching to me means starting a new chapter in my life. This idea excited me, because I know I am going to be faced with all of the realities that a teacher truly exemplifies. Nonetheless, I am also extremely nervous, but anxious to start what I think will be an amazing journey of student teaching. I anticipate that this transitions or change in my life will not be an easy one, but I am hoping that I will be able to adjust to the lifestyle. I also anticipate that the challenges I will encounter can give me the experience and knowledge to handle situations that arise in my own classroom.
The notion of student teaching puts a lot of pressure on me, because I know that I will have so many other things to be concerned about. Having class at night after such long school days is not going to be easy, but rather an overwhelming process. However, I am determined to get through all of the bumps in the road that I will be challenged with along the way. I know that I will only get through it if I am motivated, and there is nothing more I want than to not only be a successful student, but a successful teacher as well.
My expectation is to be able to make a difference in the classroom, and that I will have made an impact on if not all, then most of my students. I am confident that these students will change who I am, because I think they will help me to realize that this is truly what I am passionate about.
The adversities that I will come across during this experience will only help me tackle the reality of what is to come. I am sure that I will have to confront many situations where I will be less experienced to handle, but through it I hope to learn how to deal with many things that come with being a teacher. I am eager to finally apply all that I have learned about teaching during my last three years of college through lesson planning, making connections with my students as well as their parents, and most importantly developing a student-teacher relationship. I think that over the years I have become aware of what kind of a teacher I want to be, but I’m also excited to see what else I can bring to the table. I hope to realize that my dream of becoming a teacher can actually become a reality, and that in the end through all of the stress, pain and fatigue, it will be all worth it.
