Hey, guys! I have been student teaching for two weeks now. I have a great mentor and great staff to learn from this year. However, a big part of my obstacle is... myself. I know deep within I am going to be a great teacher but right now? I still don't establish myself as a teacher. My mentor has done everything in her power to really put us as equals to the kids. What I am trying to say, is, I'm in this journey of battling myself to let myself make mistakes and be able to learn from what I do rather than fixate that I am not always going to do the right thing for the kids at first.
My mentor has said that next week should be a good week to start co-teaching so when my fieldwork advisor comes in I'll be comfortable and ready to shine. What am I thinking about? How will I control the classroom dynamic like her? What if the kids go out of control with me? HOW will I teach 35 kids in one crowded room?
I'm really excited and terrified about this year. I am desperately trying to figure out how to stop digging a hole for myself and allow myself to climb up a ladder of success. Thanks for listening and any input you share!
