What was your most rewarding experience during student teaching?

"I was working closely with a student struggling with a particular math concept. I pulled out all the stops to help him grasp the idea. I worked with him one on one, scaffolded the steps, worked through several examples, turned it into a word problem, and nothing seemed to do the trick. Finally, I had the idea of having another student teach the concept to the struggling student. After a few practice problems, the student began to catch on. It was the words of another student at his level that really helped him. I was so excited to see the student light up and feel successful. I was proud of myself for not giving up on the student and recognizing that a peer may communicate more effectively with me. I learned so much from this particular class and am so grateful I had the experience to work with that special group."
