Host Teacher: Practicum
Yesterday I went in to a local high school with a decaf pumpkin spice latte in hand to meet my new host teacher for the fall semester. When I say 'host teacher' I mean the teacher who runs the classroom that I will be working in for my practicum or student teaching experiences.
The high school is about ten minutes from where I live which really is a close placement. I'm still awaiting my placement for student teaching next semester which is making me anxious because most people already have their placements! I'm sure it's all fine, sometimes it's just nice to know.
Anyways, yesterday I went in for second block which lasted an hour and a half. We talked in their Mac Lab (how cool is it that they have a Mac lab?) and then we went and checked out her classroom. It's gigantic! It's much bigger and with a higher ceiling than just about any high school classroom I've ever been in. My host teacher is very nice and much younger than I was expecting. I'm hoping we'll get along really well because I'll be spending hours from 8am until 1pm with her. It should be a great experience and I'm excited (and a little nervous) for Monday morning!
