Student Teaching: Me and my big mouth

Before school started, I wandered onto campus during staff development hoping to find my cooperating teachers. I was introduced to the Dean of Instruction, Mr. B. He was really kind, showed me around, and helped me find Mr. and Mrs. G, my teachers. During my first week I stopped by to say hi. I found out that in his teacher days he taught theatre at a middle school. I let him know I was already taking over one class. He asked what period and said he'd stop by the next day to see how I was doing. Nice one.

Lucky for me we were just finishing reading a script when he stopped by and discussing it afterward, so it wasn't the worst time to have an observer. Phew.
