Dear Friend,
If you want to make your student teaching experience as easy as possible … and you want to maximize your shot at getting a great teaching job, you’re in for a real treat.
Hi, my name is Katie Testerman. I’m a teacher of 9 years. Six years ago, I began mentoring student teachers through their internships. I’ve also been on the hiring side, conducting numerous interviews of job-seeking teachers.
As a mentor, I quickly noticed an uneasy feeling from interns. They felt unprepared. I overheard bits of conversations among them… What if I don’t do a good job?… What if my mentor/students/parents don’t like me?… How will I get a good teaching job?
A lack of confidence and fears of being judged and critiqued ran rampant.
Then it clicked. I remembered how universities do a great job preparing you with educational philosophies and lesson planning. However, your schooling does not sufficiently prepare you for your real-world challenges, roles and responsibilities! (That’s why I witnessed so many nervous interns!)
So I searched for tools to help my interns. But my research turned up empty …
I found books written by university professors who were out of touch with the student-mentor relationship. These authors were well-educated, but they had long-forgotten the intricacies of the new student teacher experience. Other articles contained nothing more than a few shallow tips … nothing with relevance or depth.
So I decided to fill the void with my expertise as a teacher and mentor … I wrote Leading the Class The Student Teacher’s Survival Guide. It’s an easy-to-read 43-page guide that outlines the dos and don’ts of your student teaching experience.
In one quick sitting, you’ll gain refreshing insight on your mentor teacher’s expectations. And you’ll walk away with an instant head-start that will help you coast through your internship. Here’s a taste of what you’ll discover in Leading the Class:
How to make a good impression and win the respect of your mentor teacher (written from a mentor’s perspective!). Tips for cementing a priceless bond for a fun and rewarding internship.
Parent communication secrets revealed! How to address children’s shortcomings and still win over the toughest critic.
