The answer to that question is having the most amazing, tiring, interesting and eye opening experience! Or to be specific: on my first prac for my teaching course. I have been with a grade prep/one class for the last two weeks doing what they call active observation. Active observation basically means that I have to observe how the teacher teaches, handles the class, speaks to the children, the parents, other staff members, how she handles issues, complaints, illness, accidents, lesson plans, activities, naughtiness, happiness, discussion, all the things that teachers have to do everyday. Oh my god, is there a lot to do! Take 25 different students all 5-7 years old with varying levels of ability, short attention spans and incredible amounts of energy and one teacher. What do you get, well exhaustion is the answer.
But they are amazing! It is amazing! I am going to be a teacher and I am so excited!
