Montevideo Middle School |
|
|
|
Since November 2005, I have been working at Montevideo Middle School in Montevideo, Minnesota. I have two positions here. The first is teaching eighth grade geography two periods a day. This has given me the opportunity to gain more classroom experience. Eventhough all unit plans have been designed already, I am still responsible for daily lesson plans. I think this is the best position for me as a first year teacher because I still have support from the other geography teacher. I am greatful for this position because I have been faced with new challenges as a teacher, yet it has only reinforced my determination to become a great social studies teacher. The second position is working as a Teacher's Assistant with special needs students. This has to be the best learning experience that I have ever had. It has taught me so much about who I am and what I am capable of doing. I had no experience working with special needs kids before and it did take me a few weeks to get use to the atmosphere in the room. I can now say that it truly takes some great people to work with these students, but a person gains so much from doing it. These kids were amazing! I had a great experience here and I hope I can find another position that I enjoy as much! |

Student Teaching Experience |
|
|
|
In the fall of 2004, I began my student teaching experience in the St. Peter school district. I taught in an eighth grade US History class as well as an eleventh grade US History class. I began with only teaching one block of each class, but toward mid-quarter I took on another eighth grade class. I enjoyed my time at St. Peter and had two great supervising teachers to support and guide me. I found teaching a challenging and rewarding experience. I know that I would like to continue to work in this career field. |
