I am a student teacher at Concordia Teachers College in Seward, Nebraska. I grew up in Kansas City Missouri and have been attending this school for four years now. I am in Secondary education. My two concentrations are music and History. Right now I am a student director of the a-cappella choir here on campus.
Next week starts our official student teaching experience.
I will be teaching 7th grade geography, 8th grade world history, and 7th grade music class. I am excited about the experience to come, but am worried about the classroom management techniques I should use. While this is our student teaching, for many of us, it is our first experience in actual classroom teaching. The only teaching I've done is tutoring for group study sessions, and the like. I would welcome any correspondence with other beginning teachers who share my concerns, or with any teachers in my subject areas who have student taught.
