Week One Post

Welcome to our class blog! I'm excited to work with all of you this semester, which is also the semester of your student teaching. Given that our class is short (6 weeks) I'm using this blog to expand our opportunities for discussion and collaboration. You are required to post responses on this blog at least twice per week, for a total of 12 posts. Sometimes I will provide prompts, but you can always respond to other issues, ideas, or questions which might address different topics than my prompts but that are still relevant to our class. Both new posts and responses to peers' posts count as weekly posts.

For our first week of class, write about your developing conception of yourself as a teacher. What do you think will be the easiest part of your upcoming transition from student to teacher? What will be the most challenging part? Why? Do you currently think of yourself as a "teacher"? Why or why not? What does "being a teacher" mean to you?
