Dear Prestudent teachers,
I know you are settling into your respective classrooms these days. We are very appreciative of your Host Teachers who have agreed to work with you during your Phase II of your prestudent teaching experience. Thank you for assisiting your Host Teachers with registering on the FSP.
Thank you for posting your Lesson #1 Plans and your PDPs on your web pages. Hopefully you had time to review your lesson plans with your Host teachers and receive valuable feedback. Lesson plans are the tools of your trade, so value this professional learning by asking questions and being as receptive as you can with your Host Teachers.
Remember to take time to team teach with your Host Teacher before you begin taking on a subject by yourself. Your 10 days of teaching are the culmination at the end of your Phase II experience. Take time to learn the classroom routines, student names and subject standards as you scaffold to your capstone 10 days of consistent teaching in one subject. Dialgogue in written format (emailing, chatting, etc.) with your Host Teachers about issues, concerns that may arise at least once.
During your 10 days of consistently teaching, please remember to videotape at least one lesson, reflect on it and post it to your web page. Your Host Teacher will observe you and conduct a formal observation during this time. It is optional, and you may invite your principal to observe you and write a formal observation of your teaching.
I will be scheduling to visit you during your 10 days of teaching.
We will schedule our final conferences with your Host Teachers during the first week of December at your schools.
Happy Teaching and looking forward to visiting you!
Frances

WELCOME, PRESTUDENT TEACHERS, Fall 2011 & Spring 2012
WELCOME, FALL 2011 & Spring 2012 Prestudent Teachers
Pre-Student Teaching (EDUC 362: Teaching Experience I) serves as the initial field experience for prospective student teachers and is completed the semester prior to student teaching.
Teaching Experience I is composed of two eight-week phases. During Phase I (24 hours), as pre-student teachers (PSTs), you will complete eight weeks of observation and reflection in a variety of classrooms, schools, and school districts in the Four Corners area. During this time, you will select one classroom where you want to spend the remaining eight weeks of the semester (Phase II-18 hours). During Phase II, you will engage in practice teaching, plus an intensive single subject solo teaching experience for ten consecutive days (10 hours). In addition, as reflective practitioners, you will attend a weekly seminar to discuss your progress.
Field Experience provides valuable preparation for full-time student teaching, and for future employment in the classroom. It also provides an opportunity for you to apply theory and practices learned in class discussions and assignments. The PST experience helps you progress toward the professional understandings, practices, and identities that are the hallmark of an effective teacher.
Congratulations on this point in your professional journey. I look forward to being your guide and learning beside you this semester........Frances
During our first session, we will:
1. View Introductory Video
2. Reflect on your your reasons for teaching (see below)
3. Register on the UNM Field Service Portal

5. Create your own EDUC 362 webpage for your Professional Portfolio
6. Course Text: Jones, J). (2000). Tools for Teaching.

8. Seymour Papert - Learning Beside your Students
_________________________
Due Week 2 Why I Teach post to your webpage
Veteran teachers explain their love (and sometimes hate) of and long commitment to teaching their students. Think about your own reasons for choosing teaching as a profession. Are you an “Accidental Teacher” or someone from a family of teachers? Write your own Why We Teach essay describing how you knew you wanted to become a teacher, and some of the experiences that led you to enter this teacher education program. What are your goals for yourself, and what are your beliefs about effective teachers? Please post to your webpage.

Congratulations, Prestudent Teachers!
Congratulations on this part of your professional teaching journey. Through your classroom observations, school visits, conversations with your text, classroom management workshop and mock teacher interview this semester and reflecting on your own learning stories, this is a tribute to you and what I have learned from you.
Phase II from March 15- May 5 is your scaffolding of what you have learnt and what you already know in your requested classrooms. Your role is evolving from student to teacher as you take on more of your professional identities and attributes. Enjoy working and collaborating with your host teachers as your professional colleagues and guides.
