Click on the link to read this blog post called Ten Ideas for a Successful Start to Student Teaching.
Now, let’s make our own! By collaborating, we will have a great collection of ideas for a successful start to student teaching!
Your assignment: think of three (3) ideas for a successful start to student teaching. Click on an image of wall wisher and put your ideas on a post-it note. (If the wall wisher is getting filled up, click on the 2nd or 3rd wall wisher to find room to add your ideas.)
You don’t have to do all three wall wishers! Just choose one that’s not filled up! Or choose the prettiest one! Or choose the first one you click on! … well, you get the idea.
I don’t know how many it will take, but if I need to add another wall wisher, I can.
