Hey Folks,
I've learned a lot more this semester in my practicum placement in two weeks than I did the whole Admissions semester. Maybe the most eye opening experience is sitting with the other teachers during lunch. I get to her all the complaints and gripes about being a teacher. Like faculty meetings, testing, and all adminstrative stuff that really hampers teachers and there abilit to do there jobs. Not only do I get to hear the gripes, I also get to meet with my teacher for an extended time to talk about adjustments he or I need to make for the rest of the day or what to do for the next class. Meeting other teachers and picking there brains at lunch also gives me a chance to learn for more than one person. So, in conclusion, I suggest that if anyone gets a chance to go to lunch with there teachers I think it can be a positive experience.

I agree. I learned nothing last semester it seems compared to this semester. And it is helpful to chat with the teacher during breaks/plan/lunch. It is a real eye opener for all aspects of education.
Yeah, sitting in on faculty meetings both informative and cool. It helps me see the issues facing the teachers and the students that I wouldn't have seen had I simply observed a class for a couple of hours a couple of days a week. The cool part is that it sort of says, I'm a teacher--well sort of.
I agree sitting in with all the teachers is something that can be eye opening. You get hear about all things that you as a teacher thought about doing, that may not be such a great idea in reality.
