Hi Emily,
Thank you so much for your advice regarding student teaching. I definitely plan to be very open with my students and let them know my expectations from day one. 
Thanks so much,
Tara

For example, I explain to my class each semester that I don’t require hand-raising because I can’t see raised hands. I explain that I’ll be recognizing voices not faces, and that students should say their name when they offer a comment or question. I find that being as open and direct as you are comfortable will help students understand how to interact with you.

>> Hello all,
>> My name is Tara Abella and I am currently a college Junior double majoring in elementary education and special education. My goal upon graduation is to teach in a General education setting containing students with and without disabilities. I am excited to announce that I will very soon be receiving my student teaching placement which will likely be in a classroom like the one I just described for next spring. I was wondering if anyone had advice for planning for student teaching or student teaching itself. Based on the experiences I have had in classroom so far, I know I will need a reader, copies of the textbooks that the classroom teacher commonly uses, and to contact my classroom teacher about labeling and such. Any additional advice would be greatly appreciated. I hope everyone is having a wonderful spring semester!
