As a student teacher, I am in charge of five classes (3 sections of Integrated Mathematics II and 2 sections of Integrated Mathematics III). As a student teacher, I have developed many skills in classroom management, adaptability, student engagement, lesson development, differentiated instruction, and promoting procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, and mathematical reasoning/ problem-solving.

I worked as an instructor for MA 152 (College Algebra). My responsibilities included planning/ giving lectures, creating/ grading quizzes, and proctoring exams. During this time, I developed many skills in explaining and teaching mathematics. I learned to overcome obstacles as an educator during this, having experienced a concussion during this semester.

During this time I observed Zach Brennan teach his Integrated I classes. I logged 45 hours of observation during this time. While in the classroom I would walk around helping students with their in-class work. I would often lead part of the notes portions of the lessons and taught a couple of full lessons as well.

During this time I observed Susan McRoberts teach a 7th grade math class. The class I observed included a co-teacher and students slowly being integrated into a regular classroom. These were students with troubled backgrounds and mental health issues. This field experience pushed me in ways I was not expecting and made me think about how I can impact students' lives as an educator.
