[nobe-l] Writing on the board

[vparadiso92 at gmail.com]

Hello again,

I think this is a great point Heather. While there's nothing wrong with getting cited assistance when necessary in one's own classroom, unfortunately there's a little bit of proving oneself during student teaching. Also, one wants to show the cooperating teacher as well as the college supervisor that there are many innovative ways to present the material. Getting someone's help is not always the solution, although it's often the easiest one.

Warmly,

Therefore, the college student teacher supervisor wants to see that she can work without needing extra help. While such assistance is often available once a teacher has a job and her own classroom, through parent volunteers and using scheduling teach aide time, especially in the lower grades, this is not taken into account when a teacher is demonstrating their proficiency as a student teacher. In fact, when the supervisor comes out from the college to observe a student teacher, the classroom teacher is delighted to leave the classroom and go to the teachers' lounge and work on her marking or lesson planning. So, she is most unlikely to want to stay and scribe for her student teacher. Also, having the classroom teacher in the room when one is trying to learn to teach as a student teacher can be extremely unnerving so Tara is unlikely to want the classroom teacher as her help of choice.
