EDS2401 Professional Experience

This semester, my 3-week Pex/Prac was at my Internship Host school as per Trade 2 Teach guidelines.
The main difference was that I was at the school full-time and got to observe more classes. I also could ease my way into micro lessons and, eventually, full lessons. The internship helped with this process immensely, as I already knew the school, the students and how the school does things, so I could concentrate on developing my knowledge of curriculum and pedagogy techniques and strategies.
During my practicum, I joined the supervising teacher in marking and moderating assessments/ marks. This was a great experience, as I saw the full lifecycle of a subject, which, in turn, helped me modify my teaching practices.
