Student Teaching at Hillside Junior High School
Abstract
My SIP consisted of student teaching as a requirement
for the Michigan Secondary teaching certificate. I carried
out this practice teaching from August 26 through December
20, 1985 at Hillside Junior High School in Kalamazoo
Michigan. While there I taught mathematics to seventh and
eighth grade students. I feel it was a successful experience
in teaching. I acquired the skills and experience to perform
as a first year teacher and I developed a basis for setting
priorities for my future in teaching. The success of my
student teaching relied heavily on the school itself, the
faculty, my supervising teacher and the students. For these
environmental factors I was quite fortunate.
