How can you make sure that you get the most out of your student teaching placement? You can use a student teacher binder to make sure you’re confident and prepared during your observation period. Your student teacher binder will help you:

• introduce yourself to your students and families.

• understand how to use classroom technology.

• receive timely and helpful feedback.

Introduce Yourself

Students will be so excited to meet you! Introduce yourself using a meet the teacher information letter.

Send the letter home so that families can learn more about you, too.

Binder Information

Use an information binder to help you feel confident and successful teaching independently.

The pages of the binder can be used to understand how to use classroom technology and have access to computer login information.

Create a list of important classroom routines so that students are successful learning and growing with their new teacher.

The student teacher binder comes with a lesson plan template to plan upcoming lessons. You can type lesson plans, and share them with your supervising teacher digitally.

Feedback

The most essential feature in the binder are the feedback forms. Using the feedback checklists, you can keep track of effective teaching strategies and areas of growth.

At the end of each lesson, you can use the observation feedback to share with your supervisor.

With this student teacher information binder, you’ll leave your placement with knowledge and skills to be successful in your own classroom.
