Well, it's official, student teaching is now over. I had hoped to be able to keep up this blog while student teaching, but our daily journaling requirement had to take priority, and I would have had to do some serious editing to those entries in order to make the readily availabe to the public. I kept meaning to at least try; it never happened. I guess that somewhat defeats the purpose for which I created this blog, and I'm sorry it turned out this way. That's the kind of semester this has been.
Overall, student teaching was amazing and the single hardest project I have ever undertaken. Every single day was an adventure. My students suprised me constantly, positively AND negatively, and frustrated me often. Some of my collegues amazed me with their dedication and style, and others disappointed me, mostly by living up to various stereotypes, the worst being the "burnt out, useless teacher."
Okay, there will be more, including job-searching and more reflection as I put together my portfolio for certification over the next month or so. Hopefully then there will be actual teaching to write about here. In the meantime, I'm signing off.
