These are 5 tips that work great when it comes to helping your student teacher thrive. Of course there are more ideas I could share, but these are my favorite ideas that I’ve shared with teachers when they ask me where to start with a student teacher.
- Go to coffee or invite them to meet you before they ever step foot into your classroom, whether that be in person or virtually.
- Know that they won’t do things the same way you do.
- Be patient and ask them lots of questions.
- Model great teaching, classroom management, and the way you plan.
- Start with having them observe, then co-teach, then they can take over.
