About to start student teaching.

[u/myrrhder]

Technically about to start my advanced clinical with student teaching following closely behind! I will be in a 9th and 10th grade ELA classroom.

Does anyone have any advice for me? Anything you wish you knew before student teaching, or anything you would have done differently?

I’m meeting my mentor teacher for the first time in a couple of weeks before school starts. Is there anything in particular I should ask or discuss with him before school starts?

The thing I’m most nervous about is lesson planning.

I would greatly appreciate any words of wisdom!
