A look at how learning can be maximized by using a truly interdisciplinary approach. The humanities should not be undervalued, but seen as essential to a well-rounded education and an important area of study for math & science students as well.

Savvy Suggestion: Look for ways to incorporate well-planned writiing activities into whatever subject you teach. It's a great way to reach those higher levels of Bloom's!

Waiting for my assignment…
One of the first challenges a new student teacher faces is the anticipation of placement within the chosen school district. Some school districts allow student teachers to choose a list of several potential schools to work in, while others assign student teachers at will, anywhere in the district. I was able to list 3 high schools in my chosen district in which I would like to work. I chose them based on commuting distance, reputation for quality instruction, and familiarity with the district. These are just some of the things you may consider when deciding where you would like to student teach. I will be given my assignment as the fall semester begins. At that point, my next questions will be: Who will my supervising teacher be? Will he or she be easy to work with?
Savvy suggestion: Learn all you can about the school you are assigned to before you walk through the door for the first time! The school’s website is a great place to start.
