Abstract
My Senior Individualized Project entailed student
teaching at the elementary school level. For fifteen
weeks I was a student teacher in a fourth grade at Kerby
Elementary School in Grosse Pointe Farms, under the
supervision of Miss Rita Flaherty. I worked in a
self-contained classroom with students of better than
average ability.
Kalamazoo College recommends students for teacher
certification at the secondary level only. My efforts
to attain certification at the elementary level were,
therefore, pursued through Nazareth College of
Kalamazoo. At Nazareth, I participated in 21 credit
hours of education courses and three practicum
experiences. However, Nazareth's program requires that
the student teaching experience take place in the
Kalamazoo area. It was important to me, for financial
reasons as well as for possible future employment
purposes to teach in The Grosse Pointe Public School
System. I grew up in Grosse Pointe and being familiar
with that school system's reputation, was anxious to do
my student teaching there. With the approval of
Nazareth College, the University of Detroit agreed to
sponsor me as a student teacher in Grosse Pointe.
