Interning as a student teacher with Montowese Elementary School offers many opportunities to gain experience and confidence in the classroom. Interning as a student-teacher allows me to practice working with students of all ages and learn who I am as a professional. I have been given the opportunity to substitute various classrooms, attend professional development days, and work closely with a select teacher. The student-teaching portion is a total of 50 days and allows me to slowly transition as the acting teacher in the classroom. I will take over the classroom, create lesson plans, teach full lessons, and create strong relationships with each student.

Duties and Responsibilities:-Assist in planning and fully participate in implementing activities, lesson plans, program plans and special events-Operate all activities and the program with the safety of the participants as my top priority and abide by all applicable risk management policies-Ensure that a person specifically designated by the custodial parent(s), as indicated in the child's file, picks up each child.-Identify and approach "strangers" in the program area and decipher what they may need or why they are there-Foster a positive, team-oriented environment-Resolve conflict by addressing concerns directly with co-workers and supervisors to find a solution

As Co-counselor, I had plenty of responsibilities. Me and one other counselor ensured the safety and overall well-being of our group each day. I made sure we stayed on schedule each day, took care of disputes between the campers, motivated them to participate in activities, and created a trusting relationship between me and each camper.

As a front desk staff member, I had multiple responsibilities. Each day, I had to ensure the safety of the pool but controlling who was allowed in each day through our finger-scanning system. I was also in charge of handling the money box by charging the correct amount, returning appropriate change, and keeping the receipt book balanced with the money box.
