"As a student teacher, I expect classroom management to be a challenge because it will be new for me. Also, balancing how to interact with the students may be another challenge. Young and new teachers bring off a different relationship than a veteran teacher. Ultimately, I want to strive to be professional in anything that I do."

Keeping up with grading may be one of my main challenges. I already will put a big focus on classroom management and lesson planning. But, adding in work to the mold will be hard to balance.
Shane's Feedback
Think about what you can do as a teacher to add grading to the work balance. Decide if you will stay and grade at the school or if you feel comfortable bringing work home. Whatever you decide, make this justification with your overall health and well-being in mind.
