Week 7
Right now I am interning in a music classroom, which basically means I am observing and helping my mentor teacher with tasks around her classroom. I can't see myself as an intern in the future, I'd much rather be the teacher. I'm not so sure about teaching music, but teaching a general classroom would be something I'd like to do. Right now, I get to see things behind the scenes, and how the classroom looks from the teacher's perspective. This is a great opportunity to see the classroom and interact with it, without having too much responsibility so you may really pay attention to the tasks at hand.
The thing I don't like about this internship is the responsibility factor. My teacher is a person who likes to handle everything herself. So, even when she does ask me to do something, she'll come along and ends up taking the task away from me and doing it herself. I promise it's not me. I've had plenty of experience helping teachers in the classroom, making visual aides, grading papers, organizing rooms, etc. She doesn't like anyone doing things for her, because I suppose she sees things in a certain way of how they should be done. It's pretty frustrating. She's said it herself, that she's a "Control freak", I just don't think she realizes how much of one she is. I'm a very creative person, and I've had a lot of experience in many areas of education. She knows this, I've told her and I remind her when she tells me about something she needs to get done. She complains to me all the time, about how busy she is and how many things she needs to do. It's only because she doesn't delegate, or let anyone help her.
The skills I am learning are mostly in the area of classroom management. One of my biggest fears is that I'll let the class walk all over me, that they won't listen to me. Having a firm hand in school is important, finding a balance in when you should be relaxed and when you need to get things under control is the key.
As of right now, I believe working in an educational setting would be ideal for me.
