Hello! Enjoy student teaching, I start student teaching in the Fall of this year. I am on the NSTA for one of my classes, and it is such a great resource for not only current educators but future educators. I am also very excited AND nervous about becoming a new teacher. I hope you have a great experience student teaching and learn a lot to prepare yourself when you have your own classroom!

Hi Hallie!. I am a student teacher too at the University of Houston. I hope you are enjoying your student teaching. There is so much to learn by being in the classroom as a student teacher. Make sure that you take notes on what you like about your CT and their room. This will be super useful in the future in putting together your own classroom. Good luck!

Congrats on your first year of teaching! I just started using NSTA for a class I am taking and so far it has a lot of great information. I am sure a lot of the information on here will be very useful for not only your first year of teaching, but all the years to come as well. Good Luck!

Hey girl! I think we'll be getting alot of help here. I've already read across some posts and there is so much helpful information. Go Coogs!

I knew there was a reason I loved this post. My daughter is a student there as well. She is majoring in geology but does some tutoring. She may become a geology teacher. I think it is amazing that the university is encouraging y'all to join professional learning communities like NSTA! I've been teaching 23 years and it is still exciting to learn more and interact with teachers outside of my usual circle. If you ever have the chance to attend an NSTA convention, go! I'm an elementary teacher from Louisiana, right next door.
Go Coogs!

Dear Hallie,
Glad you could join the discussion - the NSTA Learning Center community has much to offer you and other pre-service teachers. While you may be interested in many of the resources available on the site (check the "Explore All Resources" area to search for your yopics of interest), you may also be interested in participating in web seminars.
Web Seminars are free - you can read about them and register at the URL below:

Good luck!
Flavio.

Hello Future Teachers!
Congratulations on starting your student teaching. I am in my second year teaching and while it's sometimes a struggle and I am super tired some days it's still my favorite thing to be doing. I lucked out and teach strickly science in elementary, so I use NSTA quite often. I read many of the articles Science Children. Plus Science Children offer some great lessons. I have also used some of the lessons to refresh my brain on concepts in areas that I am weak in.
Some tips in student teaching. Ask your principal if you can see different grades and different subjects. If you start with primary grades, especially kinder, try to see them at the beginning of the year. You will learn some of the best classroom management from those teachers. Your goal in student teaching is to find who and what you want to be teaching. Not everyone is a 1st grade teacher just as not everyone can teacher 5th and beyond. Make sure you find your fit!
Side Note! Not sure how much the professors have changed, but if Thompson, Culpepper, Wilson, Edgar, Beaudeux are still teaching please tell them Destiny Huggins says hello :) GO COOGS! YOU GOT THIS.

Hi, I am also Student Teaching I for University of Houston. As out educational system shifts towards STEM it is beneficial that we can acquire information and ask for help through a simple site. Enjoy student teaching and take in all the good and learn from the experiences that your are placed in.
