WAITING JUST WAITING
The anticipation of student teaching is surreal. Student teaching allows the Prairie View Student get a that work experience and it lets the student know if they are ready to actually teach. The craziest thing that a student has said from student teaching is that we do not use any skills that they have necessarily learned from the College of Education its a totally different ball game. I hate that we only get only one chance to prove if we are ready to go into the schools. There should be field trips and events or conventions that we go to as future educators to prepare for the what it is actually like to be in the teaching profession. Personally I'm excited to do student teaching but I'm not happy that I will have to do the student teaching process May of 2014 and I feel that is sad considering that I entered college Fall of 2009 and to be here an extra year when I do not have to be is pretty frustrating considering all these requirements the College of Education is is not requiring with a 290 on certify teaching as well as a 290 on the content test. If you do not make a 290 on the certify teacher then student teaching will NOT be in your future. As of now there is a petition going around we ask all students of the college of Education please sign the PETITION or you will have to make a 290 on certify teacher and the content test, before you student teach and if you do not you will receive an INCOMPLETE in all your 3000 level courses!!!
Do you think a lower benchmark score would be more suitable? You need a 240 to pass the real deal, so maybe a 260, since they want you OVERprepared?
ReplyDeleteI have heard from current student teachers that they have to go in to CertifyTeacher and hit a 290 every week. Do you know if that's just a rumor?
p.s. you need an image and a relevant link on every blog post! maybe a stressed-out student and a link to CertifyTeacher for this one?
