This Wednesday was my last day. The kids gave me a lot of notes, my cooperating teacher gave me a briefcase, I got a card, etc. I didn't expect to get so attached to these kids so quickly. Now I am sitting in day two of tedious, but occasionally interesting presentations.
I finished the majority of my MTSU formalities. That feels good. The rest of them will be completed during spring break.
What I will do differently in my next placement:
start out tough on discipline.
get to know my students more quickly.
keep copies of my planning.
meet the administration and nearby teachers quickly.
grade students harder
demand more feedback from my cooperating teacher.
I am mortified by the prospect of teaching mathematics. My department has stalled me past having time to negotiate another placement. One of my classmates describes my next school as "a penitentiary."
