Overall I feel much more prepared to teach in the future coming out of this experience. It doesn't seem as scary or overwhelming as it did at first, which I am very thankful for. A huge improvement for me has been how much better at quieting down a rowdy classroom I have become. All of the tasks a teacher must complete also seem more manageable to me now. I don't feel that I would be ready tomorrow to have a classroom of my own, but I am certainly getting there. And that is such a splendid feeling.
Glad to hear this field experience really helped you, and taught you some things. It was crazy how a person has learned for being in a classroom for a month. It seemed to help you be a little more confident.
