Teaching Experience

Teaching Internship II - Nashwaaksis Middle School - Anglophone West - To be completed

March-April 2015

!During my internship at Nashwaaksis Middle School, I have assumed full teaching responsibility inside

and outside of the classroom. I am teaching grade seven and eight French Immersion Social Studies; two
classes of which are grade seven and eight splits. This internship has been a wonderful learning
experience as split classes seem to be to future of our school systems. Outside of the classroom I took on
my cooperating teachers responsibilities for lunchtime duty and help her with her two clubs. I was
fortunate to help out with French club every Thursday and the schools Chat to the Future club; both of
which were a wonderful way to get involved and help promote a fun and positive learning environment
for students.
