    Student teaching

    Many of my methods courses required classroom observations, so I had a lot of hours doing that--in fact, in one class I observed, the teacher had actually put my to work, then asked me to sub for her a couple of times!

    My actual student teaching experience was 8 weeks, half a day in the fall semester for special education certification, then 8 weeks, half a day the first part of the spring semester for kindergarten certification, followed by 8 weeks, half a day in fourth grade for my elementary 1-8 certification.

    I found my student teaching experience very rewarding. I was by myself in the fall, but for the spring semester, I was assigned to an open concept school w/ 2 other student teachers from my university. We actually had separate kindergarten classrooms we were assigned to, but the kids changed classes during the day, so we all 3 had the same students. When we did 4th grade, it was a team taught situation, so we were all together with 4 cooperating teachers overseeing us. We collaborated on a lot of things, and had the wonderful luxury of bouncing ideas off each other.
