Hello! I would like to introduce
myself. If you haven’t already heard, I am the new student teacher in Mrs.
Koch’s classroom. I am looking forward to having a wonderful few months getting
to know the students and Mrs. Koch’s classroom. I feel very lucky to have this
placement.
I started
last January as a post-baccalaureate student at Union Institute and University.
Once a month I have been traveling to Brattleboro to meet with faculty and
students from the program to discuss all the reading and writing we have
completed. It was great to return back to school. I wanted to be a teacher as a
young child (both my parents were teachers), but I wasn’t ready as an undergrad
student. I “wanted to see the world before I taught others about it” as I like
to put it. My B.A. in Anthropology is from the University of New Hampshire. I
completed a couple years of AmeriCorps, plus some other volunteer work in
various places, much of which involved working with young people. I was also a recruiter
for internships for college students for the SCA before having my daughter in
2010. For the past couple years, I’ve done childcare at home.
My
experiences vary and now I look forward to learning the ins and outs of
teaching as much as I can in the coming weeks. Thanks to Susan Koch, your
children, and Union Elementary, I know I will learn in a great environment.
Feel free to ask me any questions. I look forward to meeting most of you this
winter/spring. Additionally, I will be taking pictures and videos for my
licensing portfolio, which will be seen by my faculty. If you prefer to not
have your student’s pictures used, please let me know. And of course, all
information is confidential. Thank you.
