I really enjoyed the experience I had while in my placement. It was a lot of fun but I also learned a lot. I think that it is important for us as beginning teachers to experience many different classrooms and different teachers. I think Tony and I were lucky because we were able to observe other teachers, not just our own. In retrospect, I really think that the teachers we were placed with have a teaching style like our own; being able to see other teachers really broadened my horizon.
I am also glad that I was able to start my collection of lesson plans even if I wont have the same books that my co-op had in his class. I am also happy that I was able to get first hand experience at teaching before student teaching to see if this is really what I want to do…which it is =].
