2. Stephanie, you will complete your 54-page Teacher Work Sample as you actually teach the unit, rather than in a mad dash after the fact.
3. Stephanie, your Teacher Work Sample will be a 100% reflection of things that actually happened in your classroom.
4. Stephanie, your planning periods should easily be sufficient to grade and plan ev.ery.thing.
5. Stephanie, you will still be able to get to bed at a normal time, and you'll never have to get up at the crack of dawn to finish stuff, either.
6. Stephanie, you're teaching honors classes, so these kids will totally be functioning at an honors level.
7. Stephanie, your new year's resolution was to be more social, and you can certainly keep that up during internship.
8. Stephanie, these kids will absolutely love your teaching style. They won't mind at all adjusting to you instead of the teacher to whom they've grown accustomed for six months!
9. Stephanie, these kids will be really excited to use Edmodo - it's like Facebook for school!
10. Stephanie, you can totally start a blog the same week you start your internship.

I just finished up my summative conference for my student teaching internship (did you know it's not called "student-teaching" anymore? Apparently that is somehow insulting to us), and -
I PASSED!
Not that I ever thought I wouldn't, but it's still just such a relief to hear those words out loud! :)
Linking up with E, Myself, & I for Midweek Confessions!
YAY! So excited to find your blog!!! I can TOTALLY relate to these "lies." Don't worry... It gets easier! :)
ReplyDeleteI started it ages ago and planned to really get it going at the beginning of the year... ah, internship delusions!
DeleteHopefully from here on out I'll be a regular blogger... not just a regular reader and sometime-commenter!
HA! I'm in my fifth year teaching now, so definitely not so far out that I don't remember telling myself all the saammmmee things!!

Without the mantra "it will be different in my own classroom... it will be different in my own classroom..." I'm not sure if I would've made it! :)
DeleteHaha I love these! We all tell lies to ourselves. I've done this plenty of time and it never works the way I thought it would.

I finished my student teaching last May (almost a one-year veteran real-life teacher!) and started my blog simultaneously while working on my work sample, too! I'm just now...like as of this week getting back into the swing of becoming a regular blogger. Things get better, I promise. And it is different in your own classroom! I look forward to following you :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Chelsey! Definitely makes me feel better every time someone confirms that for me. :) Your blog looks so cute, I've added you to bloglovin' and will definitely be following along... we'll get back into this blogging thing together!
Deletecongratulations on passing!! i remember student teaching - it is stressful!
ReplyDeleteI'm choosing to look at it as a rite of passage, and now I'm in the cool kids club. Now it's just two more classes this summer and I'll have that good ol' masters.... and hopefully a job to go with it! ;)
