Update on my Student Teaching
I have now been student teaching for 3 weeks in an high school setting, and I love it. I am working in a northern suburb, just outside the perimeter of Atlanta. My student are Honors learners, TAG-identified. They are bright and verbal and, for the most part, really engaged in their learning. Most are, of course, extrinsically driven by parents and things, but I have been so amazed at the sophistication of thought on their part! They make pretty incredible text-to-world connections, and go there without much guidance or leading. This experience is fully validating why I want to be a teacher.
