Meeting my Cooperating Teacher for Student Teaching in the Fall

Today I had a scheduled meeting with my cooperating teacher for student teaching beginning next fall. I greatly enjoyed meeting and talking with her and we both are looking forward to working with each other beginning in the fall. The school I will be at is a new school so it will be a challenging and rewarding experience for the both of us.

I am so excited for you! I haven't received my student teaching placement yet. I look forward to getting the mail everyday, but nothing yet! Where are you placed? What grade level? I would love to hear so much more about it! How was the meeting with your cooperating teacher? Are you a good match? I'd love to hear more!

I would also like to hear more about the experience. I am also interested if there are any tips that you would give us, as we go into meet our teachers. I think that it is a huge step for all of us, and one that we have been waiting for. I thought that it would be helpful if you had any tips or things that we should know before we meet our teachers.

Great questions Taylor, I too, can't wait to hear the details.

Hi Taylor and Tina:

Meeting my cooperating teacher was so exciting, she is very nice and we seem to be a great match, and can't wait to be working with eachother at the new school.

I was supposed to be working with her in Terryville with third graders, but because of the school fall for the fall she will be teaching first graders.

I am so excited to be working with her in the fall and with first graders. I know that the experience will be challenging, but so rewarding. I am looking forward to all I will learn about being a teacher from the experience.

As for meeting your cooperating teacher for the first time, I didn't say anything special use too much of the terms we have learned in the field of education. I instead was myself and I think that doing so only helped the both of us.

I hope you all hear where you have been placed soon and you have the same great experience I had when I met my cooperating teacher.
