Done with Student Teaching!

Last Friday (April 27, 2012) was my last day in the classroom for my Demonstration Teaching placement.  I had an 8 week placement at Evergreen Junior High in Salt Lake City followed by 8 weeks at Jackling Elementary in West Valley City.  The split placement facilitated my dual-certification in Special Education and Elementary Education.  It was a LONG, HARD road, but it was a WONDERFUL experience. 

I have met some amazing teachers, administrators and school staff who have helped me along the way.  But it was the fantastic students that have made my experience the most pleasant!  I truly believe that EVERY child is important, should be loved, and can be taught! 

I have over 10 years of substitute teaching under my belt which, added to the plethora of experience gained during my DT and my Pre-Clinical experience,  will help me to transition into my own classroom. 
 
I am excited to start the next part of my journey and hope you will come along.
