WELCOME, Spring 2011 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

WEEK of NOV. 8 Prestudent Teaching
Dear Prestudent Teachers,
I have ben hearing about your preparations for your 10 day student teaching some starting this week and most next week. Remember to ask your Cooperating teacher to:
1. Videotape a portion of you teaching one of your lessons and talk about it together. You will post your video reflection to your webpage.
2. Ask your Cooperating Teacher to formally observe you during your solo teaching experience. You can supply her with an obsevation form from our UNM Handbook or she may use one from the school. This you will keep to include in your professional portfolio.
3. Engage in a Dialogue journal about an issue, question or concern prompted by your lesson, teaching, classroom management, routines, students, etc.
I encourage you to keep a teacher's journal from now on. This will help you in becoming reflective practitioners in your teaching career.
I hope you are transitioning to think like teachers now!
If you have not sent me your 10 day solo teaching schedule of days and times, please email me them to me at fvitali@unm.edu by Friday, Nov. 12.
Thank you and look forward to your reflections below............Frances
