Briana's Response #4

I am so excited to be teaching with Lindsey and at a high school! I've only ever had my experience at junior high schools and so this should be a totally new adventure! Lindsey was very helpful with what she wanted us to teach and even had the learning goal for the unit set up. I feel like the fact that she knew exactly what she wanted us to teach really helped with our understanding of what it takes to plan out an entire year of units. She also expressed great love for her students and said they were a very fun class to work with. This makes me really excited to be teaching in a class that she has faith in and also with a teacher who has faith in us as teachers. We asked if there was anything she wanted us to double check with her about and she said that she had complete faith in us. This makes me feel so much better about stepping into someone else's classroom and feeling comfortable.

She said she has a few students who have active TIEs. I'm not sure if this will make a huge difference in the classroom environment that we create but it is helpful to know about the students. If anything we will be able to take the demographics into account and work with them. I don't forsee any specific problems.
