  • East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School
    • East Bridgewater, Massachusetts
    • Student Teacher, English Department
      • Jan 2018 - May 2018

      As a student teacher in the English Department of the East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School, I took over and taught three sections of 9th grade honors English and two sections of college prep 12th grade English. My mentor teacher and I used a slow-release method of shifting responsibilities; we started by co-teaching all five sections, and then I took over teaching one class period at a time until I had full responsibility for all five sections. As the acting teacher, it was my responsibility to design the curriculum and create all materials; ensure alignment of lesson plans with state and district standards; facilitate whole-group, small-group, and independent learning during class periods; maintain a supportive and engaging learning environment; and establish positive and trusting relationships with my students.
