I'm currently training to become a primary school teacher and in just under a month, I'll be starting my first placement. Our lecturers have told us that as long as we follow the steps, we'll be fine, and that it's not that hard to pass this placement, but I can't shake this apprehension. I really want to do well!
One thing our lecturer stressed to us today is that nine times out of ten, if a placement is failed, it's down to the professional relationships (or lack thereof) that the training teacher has made (or failed to make) with their associate teacher/other staff/principal/parents and guardians/the children etc.
I'd love to ask, if there are any teachers here who have overseen training teachers before, is there any advice you can give me? Is there anything you love brand new student teachers to do, or anything you cringe when they do? Are there any dealbreakers for you?
I am taking my training and this placement very seriously and just looking for a little bit more guidance from the perspective of the existing classroom teacher, is all!
