Having a student teacher in the classroom can be a wonderful
experience for students. Student teachers bring
new ideas and twists on old ones.
My students get the benefits of having another teaching style,
another pair of eyes to monitor learning and behavior, and another person build
a relationship with your child. My fourth grade class is lucky to have Ms. Annalise
Bradley as our student teacher. She has
brought much enthusiasm,
energy, and innovation into our classroom.
As
a teacher, I try to model best practice daily but when I have someone observing me it
really brings that into sharper focus. I find that collaborating with Ms.
Bradley makes me concentrate more on planning and implementation of lessons. Having someone watch me teach pushes me to
analyze and reflect upon my own teaching style.
A
student teacher in the classroom offers me a chance to learn too. She brings
new ideas, great thoughts and diverse ways of doing things, which are fabulous
both for me and my class. Your children have many different learning styles and
acquire knowledge in many ways. With two teachers, the kids are exposed to
multiple teaching styles and ideas. And they have more than one person who will
listen to their stories and share their confidences. It’s a win win situation
for everyone!
