What experiences have you
had working with students other than student teaching?
A: For
the past three years I have been a volleyball coach at the local YMCA – working
with the junior volleyball team. I have
been an after-school tutor at the West End Community Center on Thursday
evenings – helping youngsters with various homework assignments. Each summer I am a volunteer reader at Long
Valley Regional Library where I share books and stories with three to five year
olds. I’ve been a camp counselor for
four years at the Big Mountain Nature Camp and I’ve helped supervise playground
activities during the annual Spring Fling held each year in Centerville. I guess I’ve always been attracted to kids
and take every opportunity I can to work with them, teach them, and be a positive
influence in their lives.
Bottom line: The more programs and activities you’ve experienced –
beyond student teaching - the better your chances at obtaining a teaching
position.
