Summer School Teacher

What I liked

I loved being able to take control of the math portion of the summer program. My cooperating teacher was very flexible and let me lead. Having the experience of adjusting curriculum to fit the learning needs for what skills they are struggling with. This experience has made me feel confident at where I am in my journey.

What I wish was different

Advice

Connect with your co-teacher and ask to take lead to get the most out of the experience. Be professional and connect with the students.
