Winter 2016

For full day student teaching I taught with Mrs. Mitoraj-Moreno who helped build up my knowledge of classroom management techniques as well as develop lessons and units that work well together throughout a whole semester. During this placement I was responsible for three of my own classes as well as a special needs class for lower functioning students. Taking attendance, administering tests, planning and implementing lessons, grading, and assisting students with technical challenges were all part of my duties as a student teacher at Garden City High School.

Half Day Student Teaching - Mark Murray Elementary School, Detroit, MI

Fall 2015

For half day student teaching I was placed in a co-teaching group with Ms. Morton, under the mentorship of Ms. Justice. In this experience I learned a lot about co-teaching methods and practiced several strategies. I was able to make meaningful connections with my students and taught several lessons that I was responsible for creating, writing and implementing. In this placement I learned a lot about my own teaching philosophies and added to my expanding knowledge of classroom management skills.
