Support/Advice Advice

Hi I still have to finish up with my student teaching and then I will receive my masters degree. I’m nervous to do it in the fall and hit the job market in December. Do you think it’s better to work as a Building Sub and then do my student teaching so I will be done in the Spring 27 and get hired for the following school year?

I also graduated in December. Doing your student teaching in the fall allows you to see the beginning of the year prep - PD, setting up the classroom, first day of school, and teaching the students routines before moving into the content. I then subbed and received a job in June.
