Student Teaching Placement |
I was accepted to the Masters of
Arts in Teaching (MAT) 5th Year Program in March of 2005. I
am currently working towards earning both my MS in Early
Childhood/Elementary Education and my professional teaching
liscense. I have learned a lot about education and myself throughout this year. I am very excited to begin my career as an elementary educator. I have also met some amazing people through the University and I am looking foreword to trading 'teacher' stories with them Fall 2006!! |
I am student teaching in a first
and third grade classroom at Findley Elementary School in Beaverton,
Oregon. I have been paired with 2 excellent mentor teachers,
Terri Buckley and Steve Simpson. I am learning a lot and
truly enjoying my time with the students and staff at Findley.
Beginning the last week of January, I will be full-time student
teaching in the first grade. I will be teaching a selection of
lessons provided by myself and my mentor teacher. This is
an image of me teaching an expressive arts lesson in my first grade
placement. |
