Clarify your task

Before you embark on your one-semester journey in Observation and Teaching Assistantship,
it may be good to be reminded of the personal and professional qualities that we, teachers, ought
to possess. Striving to be the best teacher, the teacher who will leave an imprint of
himself/herself on his/her students, is a never-ending journey. The journey began three years ago

Profession, etc, etc. The journey gets more focused and challenging now as you observe and
assist your Field Study Resource Teacher. Don’t you worry! You have been prepared for this for
three years and you will end up stronger, happier, and wiser!
