Elementary School Intern
September 2020 • Ellicott City, MD
What I liked
The teacher I was placed with was very knowledgeable. She was welcoming and very understanding given the current virtual learning platform.
What I wish was different
I wish that the intern (myself) could go into the building to work alongside the teacher. But, I understand that at this point in time it is not safe to do so.
Advice
Keep communication open between you and your mentor. Take all constructive feedback and try to put it into use.

I liked getting to teach students.
What I wish was different
I wish the location was at a closer high school.

It is easier for teachers and paraeducators my age to connect with the students than those who are older.
