Final days of summer

Student teaching starts in 3 days! I’m beyond excited to get started but that doesn’t mean it’s not scary. I’m using lemon8 as a real time journal to document my life as a student teacher (and person because your career doesn’t define you) for anyone else who may be beginning their journey into education! I’m getting my Masters of Arts in teaching to become a high school social studies teacher. I’m lucky enough to be teaching 3 levels of US History this semester with an amazing mentor teacher and I’m excited to bring you along on the journey.

... Read moreAs summer winds down, many aspiring teachers reflect on their journey and prepare for the new school year ahead. Student teaching can be both exhilarating and intimidating, especially for those entering a classroom for the first time. Utilizing platforms like Lemon8 allows educators to share their experiences, insights, and advice with fellow educators and students alike. For those starting their teaching journey, having a support system is crucial. Engaging with communities online can provide valuable resources, such as lesson plans, classroom management techniques, and emotional support. Additionally, reflecting on personal experiences, like those during the final days of summer, can shape teaching methods and philosophies. Ultimately, the transition from student to teacher is filled with opportunities for growth and discovery. Taking the time to document this journey not only helps in personal reflection but can also inspire others who are eager to step into the world of education.
