[nobe-l] Introduction and Advice for Student Teaching

[Jasmine Kotsay]

Hi, Tara!
Thank you so much! Always feel free to ask me questions! I want 
to answer questions, because I really hope to educate in any way 
I can, and that means mentoring as well! Best of luck, and 
welcome to the list!

Hi Jasmine,
I am so glad your student teaching experience has been a good 
one! That is very encouraging.  I hope it continues to go well 
and congrats on almost being finished!
Thanks so much,

 I am currently doing student teaching.  It is difficult, but 
fun.  It is a lot of work, but I know that you can get used to 
it.  I also want to teach in a cited classroom, but later go into 
VI teaching.

 I just wanted to say how cool I think you are to take on a 
sighted
 classroom.  I'm totally blind and am considering teaching, but 
still
 unsure, but you are one of the ones who give me hope.
 If I do decide to teach, I'll have you to thank.

 Hi, Tara,
 Great to see you here! You are on track with everything.  
Student teaching
 is an adjustment for everyone, blind or sighted, so you will go 
through the
 normal swings of highs and lows as you take ownership of the 
room and learn
 how to operate as a blind teacher amid an environment that has 
not likely
 had such an experience, but they will also be getting use to a 
new person in
 you overall, someone who is not their normal teacher.  Staying 
patient as
 their loyalties shift and they make changes to the routines will 
be
 important.  If they love their original teacher, they will come 
to you with a
 slower openness, and that will have nothing to do with your 
blindness.  So,
 what I am saying is to be careful to keep any challenges 
straight in your
 mind as to whether they are normal student teacher growing pains 
or whether
 they are due to your blindness as you and they grow through 
that.  I have a
 hunch, having met you, that you are going to do very well.  
Welcome aboard!
 Kathy Nimmer and Nacho
