As we begin this exciting journey together, I am eager to hear from you about your thoughts and feelings as you start your student teaching placements. This is a crucial time filled with excitement and nervousness. To start our discussion, I would like each of you to share the following:
1. What aspect of your upcoming student teaching placement excites you most? Is it a particular subject, age group, or any other aspect of teaching that you are looking forward to working with?
2. What, if anything, are you feeling nervous about? Whether managing a classroom, connecting with students, or adapting to a new educational environment, we all have concerns.
3. How do you feel about your placements overall? Have you set specific goals for yourself, or is there anything you hope to gain from this experience?
Remember, we are all in this together, and this forum is a safe space to share our thoughts and experiences. Please respond to each other's posts, offer advice, or encourage.
You got this!
Let's make the most of this opportunity for growth and learning!
