Week 11-12
For many of you, there are only three more weeks for the student teachers to complete their internship experience, and only three more weeks for you to impart your wisdom and experience in the minds of these developing teachers! As you wrap-up your time serving in this capacity, consider the following:
- Try leaving the classroom a bit more often, allowing your student teacher to feel some more independence. Check in with them on how it felt to have full reign on the classroom, while also checking in on their comfort level!
- As the final weeks are upon us, think back on the FFA experiences that your student teacher has been able to have. If they haven't yet sat in and contributed at an officer meeting, or had the opportunity to serve as the FFA Advisor at a chapter meeting and in opening ceremonies, now is the time to make it happen!
- Encourage your student teacher to think about next steps, and their plans after graduation. Your support and input is highly valued!
- If applicable, think about your time as a student teacher and some of the "nuggets" that you kept with you along the way. Share your insights and advice!
