[nobe-l] student teaching and advice

[Hope Paulos]

Hi there. I'm not sure if I posted on this topic or not, but here goes. As 
far as  my experiences studentteaching most everything I tried worked. I was 
extremely creative in some of my teaching strategies. I had no assistance 
aside from the mentor teacher.  I  had her assist me with hand-written 
paper, but many people on this list suggested having students turn in their 
papers electronically. The only reason it didn't work for my classes was 
because a notebook had already been started (a bound notebook, not a 3-ring 
binder) as a writing journal. Also there was some concern about students 
using  online translation software. (I taught Spanish, btw)..
Classroom management: I just stayed in close proximity to my students.  As 
far as questions, I knew wheremy students were sitting. If they acted like 
they waned to answer, I'd call on them. I'd also, even for those students 
who didn't want to answer, cover both sides of the room equally. Thre are 
those high school students who would rather be listeners rather than active 
participants. I called onthem at least once during a class period.
