    FLIPPING THE SWITCH

    FROM STUDENT TO TEACHER

    YOUR FIRST JOB: STUDENT [TEACHER]

    BUILDING A REPUTATION
    • Create the “perfect picture.” What makes one an exceptional student teacher?
    o An intense desire to learn
    o A willingness to do what others may not want to do: Embrace the mundane
    as well as the spotlight.
    o Loyalty and humility
    o A role model for kids; someone who is not controversial.
    o A learner.
    o A willingness to arrive early and stay late.
    o Preparation.
    • Find out what’s on your evaluation

    BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS: THE COMPANY YOU KEEP


    • With your cooperating teacher
    o Ask questions, even when you think you know the answers.
    o Be accessible and available.
    o Be humble.
    o Seek responsibility; ask how you can help.
    o Be an intentional learner.
    o Involve him/her in every aspect of your teaching assignment.
    o Your actions and decisions must be aligned with his/her goals and policies.
    • With the students (and their parents when the opportunity presents itself)
    o Support the directors overtly.
    o Maintain a professional distance (you will be tested).
    o Show your enthusiasm for the profession.
    • With the other directors
    o Seek their input on what it takes to be a good assistant.
    • With the administration
    o Learn names and areas of responsibility.
    o Initiate periodic contact.
    • With faculty in other subject areas
    o Meet at least one other teacher and get to know what school is like outside
    the fine arts department.

    GETTING THE MOST OF THE EXPERIENCE


    • Review your notes from your methods classes. This is when you apply the
    information you were given.
    • Assume there’s more than what you see when you observe your cooperating
    teacher.

    more…
    GETTING THE MOST OF THE EXPERIENCE, cont.

    • Document your lessons. Write down what worked and what didn’t.
    • Keep a journal. Make a list of questions and ask them!
    • Video yourself and then sit in on your OWN rehearsal.
    • Document everything you like.
    • Be careful about writing down what you DON’T like!
    • Go over your lesson plan with your cooperating teacher before you teach; review
    it afterward.
    • Record your lessons (audio/video): this is the shortest path from where you are to
    where you want to be.
    • Don’t be afraid to reveal to your cooperating teacher what you don’t know. Ask!
    • “How am I doing?” “What can I do to be more effective?” “Tell me what needs to
    be done.”

    RANDOM THOUGHTS
    • Offer thanks freely. Everyone wants to feel like they’re a part of your success.
    • Never stop learning. The best teachers you encounter will consider themselves
    lifelong learners.
    • There is no teaching unless they learn. Telling them is not teaching them.
    • Treat email as professional correspondence. Begin with a salutation. Capitalize.
    Punctuate. Use complete sentences. Learn the differences among “there,” “their,”
    and “they’re”; “your” and “you’re”; “alumni,” “alumnus,” and “alumna” (and when
    to use “among” rather than “between”).
    • Never put anything confidential in an email. Treat all electronic correspondence as
    if it were a matter of public record (because it is).
    • Be proactive when working with your mentor teacher. If you think you screwed
    up, go to him/her first!
    • Be a mentor to your students, but not a buddy. They must not see you as a peer.
    • Be accessible to the directors outside the school day.
    • You may have doubts from time to time. That’s natural. Reconnect with those who
    inspired you to become a teacher in the first place.
    • Unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a “privacy setting” on the Internet.
    Whatever you post is YOU.
    • “We never do anything unlike ourselves.”
    • No bashing. Ours is a close profession. There’s nothing to be gained by alienating
    anyone or taking sides.
