INTRODUCING YOURSELF

The first contact a student teacher has with her/his students often
makes a lasting impression and sets the tone for the entire experience.
Here are some ideas on how to make that first impression a positive
one.

* Be sure to smile.

* Write your name on the board. This helps the students remember
your name and gives them a chance to write it down.

* Pronounce your name slowly and clearly. If your name is unusual


or difficult to pronounce, you may want to talk about the origin
of your name.

* Talk about your teaching experience or your motivation for


becoming a teacher. Be creative.

* Communicate your expectations. You are there to teach, but you


also are there to learn.

* Let your students know what you expect of them. This can help
motivate them to do good work.

* Take a deep breath and go for it! You are about to embark on a
wonderful adventure.

Here is one example of how to introduce yourself as a student teacher:

Hello, my name is Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx. I am a student teacher. This means


that I have finished all of my college classes and I am almost ready to
become a full-time teacher. I am here so that I can practice what I've
learned in my classes. I also want to learn from you about what works and
what doesn't.

I am a senior at the university and I've been a counselor at camp


Whatta blast for the past three summers. Last year, I was a peer tutor in
Social Studies and I occasionally give swimming lessons. Because I will be
trying some new approaches, I will rely on your feedback to let me how they
are working. I want you to feel comfortable letting me know that "today's
class was really fun," or " that group project was a waste of
time. "Preferably, you would let me know these things by writing a note or
talking to me before or after class.
Your comments can help guide our classroom activities. Finally, I know
that I will be spending a lot of time creating lesson plans, grading papers,
and generally preparing for each day. I promise to put forth my best effort
so that we can all get something out of this. In return, I expect that you
will all show me an honest effort and that you will each try to do your best
work.

Also, I want to thank Ms/Mr. Xxxxxxx for allowing me to teach in


her/his classroom. Does anyone have a question?

THIS IS JUST A SAMPLE, BUT IT MIGHTGIVE YOU SOME IDEAS --


GOOD LUCK
