Midterm is a busy time with projects and/or tests to grade. Students find themselves busy with presentations and studying for tests. Our field experience students have received their assignments and are excited about working in real classrooms in various capacities. Some of them put up bulletin boards, tutor students, grade papers, and teach lessons.
My Language Arts Social Studies methods class students have to teach 3 lessons during their 24 hours of experience. It's really great because they get some experience in a classroom before their final big student teaching experience. I enjoy reading their reflections about their lesson taught and how they would change it for next time. It's a real "hands-on" learning experience!
If you're in high school you're probably at the end of the first quarter - getting ready to receive report cards and possibly experience parent conferences. Have you ever done a "student-led" conference? It's a great experience and really makes you accountable. In this situation you have to sit and explain your work to your parents - what you have and haven't done! Many middle schools have adopted this conference format.
