My name is Cassie, and I will be chronicling my adventures as a teaching intern this year. I just graduated from Tufts University in May with a major in math and a minor in dance. This summer I started an MAT program for math education, and this Friday I will begin my teaching internship. I have been selected to intern at an urban, public arts high school for the entire school year. The theory is I will get more experience by being in the classroom every day for a full year instead of only student teaching for a single semester. The school where I will be working is an arts high school, so every student has auditioned and been selected to attend this high school, where they study academics and also their art, which is one of music, dance, theatre, or visual arts. The teacher I will be working with teaches math and dance, as every teacher has to be able to teach both an art and an academic subject.
As orientation day approaches, I am excited and scared. There is still a lot I have to do before school starts next week. I am a little overwhelmed, especially since I have to move and buy all new furniture too. Anyway, here is where I will explore the mysteries of teaching, and I hope you will all help me out and support me in any way you can as I start out on this crazy journey.
