This week has marked the end to my student teaching. I would never have thought I would be wishing that this day was not happening. Today I have to say goodbye to my awesome students and of course my cooperating teacher. Even though I am leaving I plan to keep in touch a lot.
This week I finished up all my assignments and worked with my electrical wiring class as they finished their circuits. I also graded the AgriScience research posters and presentations. Like expected I got from all ends of the spectrum on how elaborate their reports were and how much time they put into their posters for their presentations.
On a plus side I got to help facilitate NOCTI on Thursday. As a student teacher I was mind blown by how many students did not know the basics. I was helping with the injection area and I had some who did not know how to open the syringe packet, did not know to put the needle on before sticking the syringe in the medicine bottle, and more. Are we failing as teachers, is it the students, or is it the test? Personally, if I was to teach and knew students had to take this exam I would hold morning or after school practices to go over items that they might not of had in class for various reasons.
Next week it is back to PSU and I am excited to get to talk to everyone. I am also excited to share some of my best and my action research project that went wrong but, does science always go right?
