When i first went out to my placement 5 weeks ago, i was a little nervous. It was a school i had never been in aside from the time i had met my CT. But it did not take long and those nerves were gone and i was excited to be there. I had a great experience, my CT was great, the school was fantastic and overall the students were great. I was in a grade 11/12 phys.ed class, a great 10 phys.ed class, a grade 9 ICT class, and gym supervision was also one of my "classes." Basically we just supervised the gym and it was the period when we ran all the intramural programs.
The first week i observed my CT and got myself familiar with the students and the way the classes were run. The second week, i took over all the classes and started teaching but for these weeks i taught my CT's lessons. Weeks 3-5 were all my own lessons and i had full control of the classes. I ran a basketball unit, a floor hockey unit, and the final week i taught health. For the ICT class i just taught my CT's units, i mainly taught how to use publisher while i was there. I had the students create a few different projects like a menu, a magazine cover, and i had them create their own product and they had to market it.
I got the full teacher experience while i was out on my placement and i couldn't have asked for a better first experience. I learned a lot over the five weeks and i cant wait for my next placement to begin and even more than that, I cant wait until I am a full time teacher with my own classroom.
