I start my student teaching in two weeks I am am so scared and nervous. Do you have any advice?

I have received a lot of messages about student teaching, so here’s an answer to everyone.

First of all, good luck!

Be yourself.  Show that you care about kids.  I had the chair of my department say to me that all she cares about is that a teacher cares about kids, and then everyone can work together to help make lessons, curriculum planning, etc, work.  Be confident in your abilities.  Ask for help!  Don’t be scared that people, especially your associate teacher, will look down on you if you ask for help.  We can’t do things alone.

Good luck!!
