So, in order to prepare for our future as teacher, and facing the scary interview process. Dr. Smirnova has required that each fieldwork group select a president. I am lucky enough to be one of them. Being president requires that we come up with a story based on our lives or what we might hope to accomplish in the future, and four to five interview questions to ask the groups. The presidents are broken down into, direct lesson, inquiry, cooperative and social studies based. I will be asking questions based on the direct lesson plan format of teaching. In doing so I will see how my perspective teachers answer the questions I have come up with, how confident they are in the answers that they give, and if I believe they can be a suitable teacher in my elementary school. I personally think this is an awesome way to end the semester, rather then a final exam. I know I do better telling someone about what I know, rather than writing it all down. It gives us a chance to think about what questions we might be asked in the future and allows us to see how much we have really retained over the course of the semester. It also gives our classmates the opportunity to get a feel for what an interview is like but not having the pressure of an adult who is truly judging them on what is being asked of them. Even though I am a president during this session, I am at the same level as everyone else in my classroom. It is important to get as much real world experience as we can in college, this is the time to do so, once we are thrown into the real world; there is no getting this time back.
Here is the link to our google docs which provides the questions we will be asking the class.
