Teaching is about students. That was obvious from the start. What I didn’t count on was how much patience I would need. Without practicum I would have had this realization much later.
In order for me to be a great teacher I will have to create samples of what my students need to do so that I know their struggles, can help them and be their reference. I hadn’t thought of this before, so it was really helpful.

I have my foundation now! I am not afraid! I can do this! Thank you Practicum!
