For three weeks I took on a full-time schedule, working with staff to understand and oversee curriculum. For several classes, I had the opportunity to work with special education aids to accommodate a variety of student needs. Conversely, I also was able to work with a group of high-level Honors students, building my experience with diverse learners and enthusiastic students. Throughout this whole experience I worked to collaborate with my cooperating teacher, gaining first-hand experience as to how to create and establish a positive classroom environment for all students. Working with all three of these diverse classrooms allowed me to develop strong classroom management skills and confidence inside and outside of the classroom. Show less
