I began my first placement here with NLU and trying to find a school has been....draining, to say the least. I was placed with a male, so that was very exciting. I guess I should start by saying that I have done some observations before at a previous school and have a lot of classroom experience...in all of that time, I have never had a male teacher.
Mr. Toth at Passages Charter School is very nice, and has so far allowed me to help out and be involved in any way I want. I told him at lunch that I have observed and been in classrooms before to which he responded that he could tell. The confidence and poise I showed in the room were very advanced and he really appreciated having me around for that reason. The class is very diverse, yet there are no caucasion children. So this will also make it very interesting and different from any of my other placements. Because he is in his first year teaching, I think this is a great opportunity to see how first year teaching goes, that is the biggest fear I have with teaching, How will I handle all of the firsts. Seeing it first hand deffinately makes it seem easier.
I cant wait for future visits so I can keep seeing how everything goes.
