My internship benefits quite a few people. Since I am working with a fourth grade teacher the teacher benefits because she has someone to help in the classroom. The students are also benefitting because now instead of having one person try to focus on all thirty-three students it is now two people focusing on them. In the above picture I am running a math group with students who need a little extra help. I originally started out with only three students but then four or five joined for some extra help. Overall I spend the day teaching and helping students with their work. Since I have started I have taken over teaching language arts, I run some history lessons, and every day I run a math group.
At least once a day every day my mentor teams up with Mrs. Vick and during those times I help teach history or math or I walk around answering questions as the students have. Often I will stop and ask a student if they understand what they are doing and why they are doing it. If they can’t answer either of those questions I will sit down with them and talk to them about the work they are doing so I can help them understand what they are learning. My work is positively benefiting not just me but teachers and students.
